Captain Ms. Claus
I was Captain Ms. Claus today on the Jolly Express, my warmest shift yet. It was lovely to not have to wear 6-7 layers of clothing. And I didn't need to use my hand warmers. We had some rain at the end of the shift, but we dodged most of the nasty weather.

I'm finally "working" my captain's license. YAY! I had a great time as Ms. Claus. It was cold but not windy. A very good first captain shift on the Jolly Express.

Before my captain shift, I wanted a refresher of the route during the dark of night. So I jumped on the Jolly and the captain let me take the wheel during a light passenger tour.

Today was my final training session on the Miss Anne. We reviewed systems and did a few drills. Yay! Goal reached! And another pretty day on the water (very little wind too!)!

Brrrrr! Three days in a row on the water, working 8-9 hour shifts. Tonight was the boat parade! So after my shift as Elf on the Jolly Express, I peeled off my costume and put on my typical Watermark attire to serve as bar assistant on the Harbor Queen, which sat dockside as the lighted boats paraded past. Long cold day, but lots of fun!

Today I was trained as captain of the Jolly Express, and wore a Ms. Claus costume. It was fun to drive the adorable Miss Anne all day, and pose with today's Elf. It was cold though!

Today was my first time working on the Jolly Express, Watermark's festive Miss Anne decorated as a red-nosed reindeer. I donned my Elf costume, making kids and adults smile as I served hot chocolate and assisted Captain Santa. What an absolute joy!
