Strictly followed, starting at 9.00 pm with Paul and Patrick and then 3 hours on and then 3 hours sleep from 10.30 pm, crew changing every 1.5 hours. Worked really well although so tough to wake up 1.30 for the graveyard shift…’fraid Paul got that one but he was so positive he made it a pleasure for everyone else. Top Crew!!
