Today was day two of the first ever BSA Wilderness First Aid Instructor Certification Course. It was a LONG day at the Florida Sea Base. In addition to the WFA course, Captains Jeff Peacock and Alex Bergstedt drove the BSA Scoutmaster from the Florida Sea Base to Fort Lauderdale. The boat will be hauled out and repowered (new engines installed). Ellen worked on summer scuba medicals all day. Capt. Dennis flew back to Lady Lake to work on the new house he and Ellen recently purchased.
If I understood the forecast correctly the low temperature tomorrow morning is forecasted to break the record low temperature for 05 April that was set in 1934. Where’s the global warming? I am still thinking about moving to Tobago. It was 93 degrees there today. Plus, they are below the hurricane belt, meaning they are rarely hit by hurricanes and on the few occasions that one comes close they are on the weak side of the storm. I know I sound like a broken record, but it is TOO cold and TOO windy here this winter. The diving is good in Tobago (manta rays are common) and the cost of living is fairly reasonable. The fishing is also good (especially subsistence fishing). The proper name of the country is the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; the two islands comprise one country. The country gained it’s independence from England in 1962. The primary language is English and their currency is called TTs (which makes me giggle). How many TTs does that cost?
I have a homework assignment to complete for the BA Wilderness First Aid Instructor’s Course. I hope it’s not as cold as forecasted tomorrow morning.
