SEA QUEST ADVENTURES

I had the most rocking day today!!!!!
I went to work.

Ya no really work totally rocked today!!!!

Instead of going to the office we went on a team building event all the way over in Horseshoe Bay. We headed to this place right beside the ferry terminal called Sea Swell Marina and went on a Sea Quest!!!!

Basically a Sea Quest is a lot like that TV show “Amazing Race” – you have a team and you go on a scavenger hunt. Well this is a scavenger hunt at sea going in and out of the islands in and around Bowen Island in a 12 mile radius. We were split up into teams of four about a month ago and we had a month to secretly meet with our team members to discuss advantage, costumes and ways to sabotage everyone else.

OMG!! We had a blast!!!

My team consisted of me, Deb from the office, Darren our site super and Robbie a new construction worker who has only been there for just over a month. We had so much fun. Deb and I came up with the ridiculous name of “The Lost Soles”. Hehehehe.
We wore lays, straw hats and carried giant water guns.

We even had pirates and crazy hill billies who even sang us a song!!!
Everyone AND I MEAN EVERYONE that was NOT part of our company, kept wanting their picture taken with the pirate. hehehe. He was in his element. He had an MP3 player on the whole time with a headphone in one ear playing allll three sound tracks from the Pirates movies over and over again to keep him in character. hmmm

Having Darren on our team rocked as he can actually drive a boat and we were burning all over that there ocean having the most amazing time. We had giant water guns and had a water squirting match before we even got into the boats. The other teams also had guns and water balloons.

The weather was so perfect it could not have been better in any way. Look at that sky and water people. It was so beautiful.

One of the scavenger questions said something along the lines of – based on the smells at Pam’s Rocks what do the animals that live there eat?” FISH!!!! These rocks were COVERED in seals!!!!!!! There must have been close to 100 of them, Deb and I were squealing like little school girls!!!!!

We attacked one team with water guns out in the water - I had a running race to find an answer on shore – we fished a white feather out of the middle of the ocean – built a rock sculpture – mimicked seals in front of strangers AND placed third over all!!!!

One team actually sabotaged one of the answers by painting one of the yellow steps with black face paint so the yellow step count was wrong but we got it right!!! Hehehee

After this we all docked at the cove on Bowen Island and had a grand lunch complete with awards, BBQ fish and lots of MARGARITAS!!!
