Motor Boating Merit BadgeThis week is Boy Scout "Summer" Camp at Torii Station. David is attending all week, Mike is staff all week, and Matt is part time staff.
One of the merit badges David is working on is "Motor Boating". Every day the scouts get to go out in the Zodiac boats with the Marines- lucky boys!! Not only do the boys get to go out, they get to drive too! David, being the way David is, had to ask the first day- "Can I get thrown in??" The Marines didn't have to think twice- they picked him up and tossed him overboard. After that, all the scouts wanted to be tossed overboard!
That's David (blue and white shorts) hanging off the side of the boat in the photo below- Matt is sitting next to him.
Today Matt went out with the other scouts. I went out to- but just to the Rescue boat so I could stay dry while taking pictures (the boys in the Zodiacs got SOAKED immediately).
Today they worked on the skill of passing other boats. When they were done with that they spent some time swerving the boats around trying to dump off the scouts. At one point, the boat Matt and David were on stopped and EVERYONE jumped off- Marines and all!
Mike ended up teaching the book portion of the class.
A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Last week I played around this site:

They say you can play online Football game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
