If the floater does the sixth rotating day surely you have to work it out between the two of you which three days one does and which two days the other does. :Very Happy
I would volunteer to work Mondays and Tuesdays. :nana

So it's basically 6 days on with the Sunday off midway, then 7 days off including the Sunday? So pretty much a week on, as week off? Sounds good to me.
