Speeding around Esquimalt harbour

Today we went to the boatshed and learned to drive the Zodiac and the RHIB (pronounced RIB) which stands for Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat. The zodiac had an outboard motor and the RHIB has an inboard motor. We went out into the harbour and really just zoomed around for a while and practiced approaching the jetty. Even though it was a sunny day, it was quite cold out on the water. The splash of water coming up over the bow of the boat got to be extreme as we were all creating waves and driving through them. By the time we got back to the boatshed, we were all extremely drenched from head to toe. Let's just say that a good time was had by all. Most of the guys said that this was by far the best day of NETPO so far.

Two tests tomorrow though, so I have been studying over the past few nights and all afternoon today so that I can watch the hockey game this afternoon. Bonus to being out here is that the game starts at 4:30, so I will still have lot's of time to do a final review of my notes before bed without it being too late.

I am very proud of all of our Canadian athletes and the effort that they are putting into these Olympic games. Go Canada!!!!

Have another great day everyone and remember....no matter how bad off you might think you are; someone is much worse off. Enjoy what you have each and every day. Give without strings attached or a "what's in it for me" attitude and you will get good things in return when you don't ask for it.
