OMG, okay SO!
I’d twittered that I was off to see one of our Navy’s most important ships, the HMCS Ville de Quebec, which was here on a PR tour for the past few days. So I’m talking to some of the guys, they said if I waited they could maybe get me on board for a quick tour, then long story short we are off tomorrow at 7:30am for “Exploring the CDN Navy” and I can’t believe this is happening.
We’re sailing to Sarnia, a 2 day trip, and I have no idea how I’ll get home from there but really how hard can that be. Wait, I’m gonna map that and see where I’ll end up, one sec…. easy, it’s 3 hours away.
Then I had a beer with the gang in the boat’s basement and was designing the episode in my head… we’ll explore how the ship runs, the radar, the weapons, we’ll be going through several locks including the Welland Canal one, which will be the ship’s first time ever doing that, sleep in a little bunk (I saw one already, it’s tiiiny), I might get to drive it, I’ll ask if I can swab a deck, I hope the helicopter is there on the back, and that’s all I’ve got so far.
There’ll be no online access for me but I’m allowed to Twitter from my Blackberry, and I’m sorry Keith, but “Exploring Diamonds” will be a few days out now.
very cool
looking good girl
p.s. if you say the bunks are small…
I can hear the excitement in your twitter (that reads, sounds is odd to write).

Way to rock the talk your way into anything skills like the pro….take down a great lakes pirate for the win!

Old Friend – That reminds me of one of my favourite jokes… "so a pirate went to a movie, and it was rated arrrrrrgh" HAHAHAhahaHAha. ha.
I heart when you tell that joke – still cracks me up

Cant wait to see the vid of you firing my gun ha ha haaaaaaa! All of us gunners were proud of you, you didn’t even flinch. You’re a gunner at heart girl!!!
TJ the footage is really good! You added in these little wrist flips for flair maybe, I don’t know, but it looks fantastic. Being a gunner would be sick, cool job you’ve got there dude.
