Start of Camp 6

I checked in with the Black Jack this afternoon and here is what they have been up to:

The last session of the season started this morning at the BYC. After some introductions the boat got underway to continue with their in-house orientation. As they made their way up the river, the boat anchored near Mohr Island so that the trainees could complete their swim test.

As I spoke to the crew they were on their way to Quyon to do the Lego Man Challenge, a communication game. The boat will stay alongside in Quyon tonight while the trainees go over to the island for some games and an overnight. They will sleep on the island in the barges tonight.

Until next time! Fair Winds from BBI!

Black Jack Camp 4

The Black Jack’s fourth session has now been underway (no pun intended!) since last Wednesday. Things are going well and everyone seems to be having a great time despite some rain earlier this week. Yesterday morning when the trainees woke up the Black Jack was nowhere to be found! After this surprising discovery on the way back from the Bunk Barge everyone spent the day on a scavenger hunt where the Black Jack was finally found in the evening at Pinhey’s Point.

This morning after French toast cooked by chef Kean, the ship’s company participated in a Captain’s Happy Hour. The plan for the day is to sail back to Ottawa for fuel and a pump out then hopefully sail as much as possible back down the river to Quyon. They will stay on the island tonight.

If you have any photos from the start of the session, please feel free to upload them to our Facebook page for everyone to see!
