The crew is still on leave so it has been just Don the chief engineer and I working on the ship. It has been really quiet around here but we have been able to get a lot done. Our starboard generator was due for an oil change. I Have done multiple oil changes to marine engines in the past but each ship has different procedures to how they like to do each engine. So it was good to do it with Don to learn the best way to change the oil on this engine. We replaced both oil filters as well as changed the fuel filters. Once we finished we pumped 55 gallons of new oil to our ships oil holding tanks. Now that we have the time we might start going through and changing the oil on the other equipment as well. We have been doing alot of engineering work on this ship because our other operations have been suspended for now, but this has been good practice. Don has been taking his time to show me all the different systems on board. The last thing we did was go though the whole fier pump and bilge pump systems which have been very helpful. Don also lent me his two QMED study guide books and a stack of flashcards so I can start studying for the QMED. The QMED is the Coastguard engineering licence it stands for Qualified Member of the Engine Department. Studying these will help me a lot in having a better understanding of all the working on the ship, and it could also prepare me for the examination. I would like to take the test in the future.
