I drive a 25ft boat, really!

For those of you who are aware of my driving record (car and otherwise), I would like you to know that I am redeeming myself. As one of the 5 staff members, all of us are needed to take our turn driving the boat for surveys and to run errands, etc. And as nervous as I was, I passed my boat test and now drive the boat full of volunteers and I made them take a picture to proove it! It was really scary at first because the boat is incredibly long and when people are on it, it is very hard to see. Luckily there is a lift for the motor when we get too shallow (unlike my failed attempts to lift up the motor in Waquoit bay on the boston whaler). The narrow canals are especially tricky for turning around but otherwise you just have to avoid fallen logs. We also have to load our canoe onto the boat and drive it out to where we do surveys. Very technical! I haven't gone down the tricky canal yet where boats get stuck all the time, but I am up to the challenge!
