Bahamian video

As promised-- the video I shot of Peter and Ginny launching the rowing shell.



My little video camera did pretty good.

Peter did 6K that morning. He's now looking for a suitable roof rack so he can take the shells to Lake Cunningham.

That morning was one of the two times I got my feet wet during my week in The Bahamas. On the Monday I walked along the beach on my way to Traveller's Rest where I spent the afternoon on the patio reading and drinking strawberry daiquiris (ok I only had one).

I did one day of touristy things. On the Tuesday Ginny dropped me off at The College of The Bahamas and I got to see almost everyone I wanted to. I then took the 10A (blast from the past!!) downtown and then the ferry across to Paradise Island. Very little shade there and I got a little too much sun. Lunch was back on Bay Street and after a quick wander I spent the rest of the day in the garden at the British Colonial Hilton-- sitting in the shade and reading.

On Thursday I drove in The Bahamas for the first time in 5 1/2 years-- and it was a right-hand drive car to boot! Every time I wanted to use the turn signal I turned on the windshield wipers.

My trip home was worrisome-- nothing went wrong!! I managed to make it home early enough on Saturday to pick up some breakfast, get home to feed the cats and be at work for 9:00am.

Voter conundrum

Today was election day in Alberta and like for so many elections that came before, my choice was slim. The incumbent, who is most likely going to win, is from a party I won't vote for and the other candidates weren't even from the constituency!!

I did vote. I believe that if you want to have the right to complain about government the very least you can do is vote.
