Alright so i know I havent been on very much lately. buuuut in my defense I have been quite busy for the past few weeks and uber tired. So I came back on the 8th from my sailing trip.
Last Wednesday I had written a huge text that I planned on posting but was too stupid to save it so now I'm too lazy to re write it. Soo, I'm gonna write the abridged version of it.
I was Sailing with the St-Laurence II(SLII for short) for the last week of july and first week of August. The SLII is a Sail Traning vessel. She is also a tall ship, which for those who don't know what a tall ship is, is a ship kinda like the ones in Pirates of the Carribean(of course the good ol' SLII isn't as big as say the Black Pearl but you get the idea).
On the SLII you learn the basics of Sailing a tall ship. I first sailed with her two years ago, in 2007. I was but a lowly trainee who knew nothign of sailing, but I had to learn quickly because the cruise that I was on was the competition cruise where the St-Lawrence II competes against her sister ships the Pathfinder and the Playfair for a trophy. We won(of course). After the cruise finished I was asked back for the winter program which is a voulenteer program where you learn more about the ship while maintaining her and getting her sea worthy for the next summer. As part of the winter program you get to come back the next summer as a Petty Officer( the equivalent of a camp counselor). So the next summer I was P.O(Petty Officer) and sailed for three 6 day cruises.
After that summer I decided that the winter program took up too much of my time (you need a total of 135 hours and it takes place in Kingston which is 2 hours away from where I live) so I quit the program.
SO this summer I thought I would surprise my old friends (and former trainees) which is exactly what I did. I had so much fun. I made new friends. got a tan. I really enjoyed it...now Enough with that or im gonna make myself cry.
Now fast forward to today, I went to the Ex. for those who dont know what that is. The Ex is a big fair that takes place every year in Ottawa. Theres a bunch of rides and games and stuff. I went on almost all the rides( now I feel sick) and won a huge teddy for my girlfriend. and noww...I'm tire so I goes to bedddd
