More fun on the water!

We have done a lot of cool things during my on-the-water training for the Coast Guard Aux. I have to tie a bunch of knots, and have learned to tow another boat (both from the stern and alongside).
We've also done many man-over-board drills, some with a fender as our "man"; other have been with Oscar, the 100 lb. dummy with no face. It is a little bothersome seeing Oscar unresponsive in the water . . . it actually looks like a lifeless body floating alongside the boat.
Here are some of the photos I have taken on my outings:

I am so excited for you and all this cool Coast Guard stuff you get to do! You look so incredibly happy in every picture you post.
You should be proud of all the hard work you are putting into this.

Go Val!
