A Zamboni....
I'm thinking that most people in Canada would kill to drive a Zamboni. Doing it on a ship...You blow me away with your experiences every time I read about them. I know how excited your mum was to be seeing you. She misses you so much. Enjoy the rest of your journey and hopefully will see you on your return.

The picture with the Airbus A340 looks great. The airport is right on the beach, isn´t it?? I saw that on TV

6 degrees C !
G, Glad to hear you are in warmer climates. Only 6 Degrees C in Van this am. Hey, hey! The ISF book is a requirement of TC. Thats one of the reasons why Cadets, in an approved Cadet program, only need 360 days of sea time as opposed to much more if you were to try to get your watchkeeping mates outside of the program. Glad to hear you passed the test! Best regards, Jeff

Love your stories
Maybe be uneventful to you - fasinating for me. I will actually be disappointed when you are back on land - so you will have to fill in with train stories. :) Sheree

Happy birthday, you old sea dog! Good to see you were able to spend time with family. Looks like you will have no problem understanding tropical storms..... Try to stay a way from the sharks. Lets hope the plexiglass tube holds up! Cheers, Jeff

Hi Garrett - Happy (legal-in-all-countries) birthday to you from the McDonald clan, Glad to hear you had a great time with grandma & auntie. Scott & I really enjoy reading your blogs, checking out the pictures and looking for new places to vacation. Do I need to re-mortgage the house for the Atlantis Resort? Keep up the great work and look forward to hearing more in the coming weeks!

RCL Training video
G, Good to see you can add Movie Star to the resume! Hey, just wondering if you could get a copy of the video for us or send us a link. As always appreciate the update. Looks like you are getting to experience some very great things and some Sun! Unlike Vancouver.... Looking forward to the next update. Keep on having a great adventure. Cheers Jeff

Love the travel blogs - keep 'em coming
On our Caribbean cruise, we got "stuck" at St. Maarten for two days, which was wonderful being able to do both nationalities of the island over 2 full days, including an off-the-cuff trip on the bumpy ferry to Anguilla, which was a highlight. You picked the right location for your day off, I think! Scott & I really look forward to reading your updates and keeping informed by your proud parents and W&D.

Dude!!! Sooooooo cool! Except for the passing out, but at least you got the afternoon off. ;-) It seems you are having fun! That's awesome Garrett. Con. Heck, maybe a few less years and you'll be captaining a ship! Bravo man! Way to go! Mr. A.J.

Stay hydrated!
Garrett, Not the best way to meet "cute girls" in the medical profession! I am certain they took good care of you. As always thanks for the update and photo's. The rescue boat looks like a blast! As you may have heard your are not missing much of a summer in Vancouver. Last couple of days were fantastic but its back to clouds and the threat of rain. Looking forward to the next update from more tropical climates! Best regards, Jeff

Amazing Journey's
Wow Garrett! What an amazing experience you continue to have. I am not sure how your mum feels about seeing pictures of you wired up to heart monitors but hey...just another part of the journey right? I can tell from your posts that you are living your dream. I am envious and thrilled you are able to do so. Keep us posted on your travels I look forward to your updates.

Control of a $1.4 billion ship
If you can handle control of that boat, maybe when you get back your mom will let you drive her pickup truck!

That's a lot of beer!
I can't imagine how much food, liquor,beer, bedding, towels, etc.. 8400 people go through in a week. Where do you store it all? and how much trash gets generated?

Duuude that ship looks super intense! Awesome that you're learning lots, hopefully I'll get the same kind of learning experience when I go out. Waiting around at home kind of sucks, but at least its been over 18 degrees every day this week with sun, so im getting a tan before I head to ALASKA ..super gay. lol. Good to finally read a blog post! Keep em coming!

I am Jealous too!
Aside from being very jealous as to your travels, I am very happy to see you are getting some bridge time. That is what its all about. Well OK, that and great food (Paela) and good friends (Joe!). Don't lend Joe any money. He looks kind of shifty to me....Ha, ha. Enjoy the rest of the adventure!

Your pictures are way too fantastic. The Camels and Hellvac especially look like they're out of National Geographic or something. Props!
