so spent 50 bucks on some boat ride. truthfully almost spent a 100 cos of the mandatory cockup of not calling to find out if someone else had already booked me in. luckily could find a replacement.
So basically was on a large power boat like thing [ two volvo truck engines as motors the organisers said]. enough speed to do fancy turns on the niagara river. But the piece de resistance was the rapids that they repeatedly went over. was on the front right end of the boat, and the waves just kept coming in like walls of water. just enough time to gulp in some air and the next wave barged in. was told that this was a class 5 rapid, and that the class 6 [the max on the scale] rapid upriver had like 10 foot waves, but riding it was illegal if you lived through it that is.
thoroughly soaked, and then dried out in the wind as the boat raced back to the dock. Doing this in November would take guts, just imagine being repeatedly soaked in subzero water then freeze dried with 60 miles/hour winds.
sadly my camera didnt come home in time for me to shoot the sights. damn fedex is bloody unreasonable. they actually take monday off and work tuesday - saturday. bloody radical.
'artisanal' so is this a swear word or what.
anyways supposed to be doing some damn original research to cement my application to the world of oncology, bollocks. Havnt started out on anything yet and unable to enjoy the absolute lack of work cos its eating into me.
at least need to get the motorcycle license and see toronto by the end of this module.
