The helicopter trip

The helicopter trip

Here we are getting ready to take off. Have a look at our life preservers - those yellow things strapped around our waists.

Have a look at mine...now have a look at Terri's

You can see from the picture below that she started out with the ratty looking one and made me trade with her. No matter. I think if you get to the point where you have to use your life preserver you're probably screwed anyway.

Some vids of the trip

The day was cloudy and rainy (again!) so we certainly didn't get the views we were hoping for but they were pretty fantastic nonetheless.

With our flight gear on.

The pilot was an aussie and vey hard to understand. I don't know why those guys can't speak english. His name was Jedrick...that's a new one on me.
