I need it to be summer because...

For the last few months, Bf had been taking the Canadian Boating License course in a night school class on Thursdays.  He would gather his books, and maps of places that didn't exist - and head out for 3 hours after work.  This was all in an effort to pass the test, and become our very own personal "Shrimp Boat Captain"...mmmm. shrimp.

Ok, so maybe a shrimp boat wasn't exactly what he had in mind...

Regardless of what kind of boat he'd be captaining, he was on a mission.
So low and behold, after tediously studying for the final exam..

HE PASSED THE TEST WITH FLYING COLOURS!!!!!

Now, I cannot wait for summer so that I don't have to pay $100+ every time I want to go whale watching.  I asked him if we could just live on a boat, and maybe take off and sail (or motor) the open seas.  Although it sounds like a good idea - the actuality of it would probably lose it's appeal pretty quick.  Either way, I'm very excited about the prospect of being able to take off on the open waters, and finally experience what it's like to  zip up and around the coast without the hustle and bustle of a ferry ride - and if we happen to stalk chase whale watchers see any whales or other sea life, well then EVEN BETTER!

OH HAI THERE!!

Congrats to bf for all his hard work, and let's get this winter business over with so I can be where I love to be the most - near water.  You don't get a fish tattoo unless you really like to fish - so this girl can't think of a better gift from a bf, then to be out on the open seas, surrounded by lord knows what underneath us.

As long as it's not a great white on the other end of the line, this will all have been worth it...

GOOD WORK BF!!! XOXOX!!!
