I got my boating II certification today. Now I get to drive the zodiac boats and go explore the islands. Turns out though that I kinda suck at it. I could have told you that though considering that this was the first time I've ever driven a boat in my life. It was also the first time that I learned about setting up tents, starting fires, and tying certain knots. I guess my lack of skill in outdoors-y things may be catching up to me. Funnily enough, I was the only person in my group who had never set up a tent before. Why make a tent when they have hotels?
Tomorrow morning I have to go fishing. 8 A.M. the ship leaves. I need to be on it at 7:30 A.M. We'll be gone for two nights. We trawl through the night, so I won't be getting much sleep. I'm hoping that I won't get sea sick. Urjeet said that we should talk to the doctor on station to see if he'd give me some scopolamine patches for the trip. I know that I'll end up getting sick without them since the one day that I didn't have it on I started to feel off...and that was during smooth seas. We aren't looking at smooth seas. Maybe I should drop my medical school hopes to become a fisherman if I end up making it through this trip without feeling nauseous and getting vertigo.
