Hiya guys...I survived another week...disappointed? HA!! WELL JUST TOO BAD THEN!!!
Well, this week has been tiring to say the least...we got our hands on boat experience...And I found out that me and machines don't work very well together....
Damn boat.... Hold ya horses.... I'm learning..I'm learning......
Yeah....But although piloting the boat is fun and stressful at times (If your gonna crash...) it is super TIRING to launch the boats...6 boats...each 160kg...without the usual loadout...OBM is 66kg...2 fuel loadouts and 1 water jerry can...60kg in total...dry and wet boxes, anchor and stuff brings the grand total close to 300kg...pushing it down the slip way is ok..draggin them back up...now THAT is another matter...feet soaked in boots until they are white and crinkly...ever seen the shows where a dead man is dragged up on shore...yeah...feet like that..even nails are white....
First day we went outsea..rainy weather the whole day...freezing cold....and when your wet and cold and you sit and pilot the boat and the wind blows...BOO YA!!!
Spent everyday afterthat in seawater..get sunburnt...BEACH BOY I TELL YA!!!! Learnt alot of stuff...ain't saying what though...
And unless I go diving...I will NOT go swimming in the sea AGAIN!! Had my 1.5km coastal swim this week and got stung by jellyfishes 3-4 times...but we had to continue the swim..HOO YAH!!!! total of about 10 of us got hit.that's 1/3 of the course..6 reported sick..the rest of us just continued with the day. which was basically go to an offshore island, learnt and new drill and before we could do it..it RAINED!!! soaked our asses cold...hell..at least it was freshwater eh? Then I piloted the boat back to our jetty....yeah..that was basically our week..COLD AND/OR WET!!!
Jac..your friend got a nice deal for the dive course. Hope there is quality besides the low cost..the ex company we went with nearly got us killed on our night dive and another group drifted over 2km away....Ask him to get his own equipment if he can...shag to carry in, but much more comfortable to have your own stuff..trust me...
Speakin of which..hope I can still fit into my wetsuit..growing fat...DAMN!!!
14 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!!!
