Coffee Night

[FLTLNR 58]

A day that we are not duty is much easier to work around.

[mrjoecanadian 216]

Yea this is true, but a day when I am home is hard to be worked around and more that likely can not be arranged.

[Grumpy66 10]

When is the next coffee night?

[mrjoecanadian 216]

Should be tonight.

[Grumpy66 10]

[Grumpy66 10]

[Eastcoastcam 2194]

I am here... F**k it's COLD!!!

[FLTLNR 58]

Forgot to mention. If everyone is down....this thursday works for both rob and I on the ship.

[RobSinclair 428]

Yup. It would be a great night to get down to HMCS Montreal for a visit. Anyone interested?

[SQRLPWR 4387]

I'm down :)

[Eastcoastcam 2194]

I will be there :) ! Are you guys going to give us a tour?

[TomWood 1880]

NOOOOOOOOOO! I will be in the valley that evening :( lol have fun if it goes guys :)

[RobSinclair 428]

Yea James we will give a tour. The Montreal is slowly being put back together so we won't be able to see everything but I think it will be fun. We will meet at Rainbow Gate on Provo Wallis St for 1930 (730pm).

[FLTLNR 58]

Tom....just cut what you are doin short. Also, after hours there will be plenty of parking outside the dockyard proper. Im guessing it will be easier for us to walk everyone in than drive. Not sure on that.

[TomWood 1880]

Cant be cut short, but its ok, I am sure there will be another time we might be able to do this. I have been on the ships before. :)

Probably going to pass on this at this time, but for those interested it is well worth it! I've been on the Fredericton, for an awards ceremony. We had a really interesting search one time, and saved the life of a member of the Fredericton, and we were shown appreciation at a ceremony and tour on the ship, and we received a ships emblem/plaque/'colors' which is displayed at the SAR training base. 'Bosse' I believe was the name of the gentleman, and I think he had a double leg amputation because of frost bite.

Boy, it seems I tell a lot of stories around SAR, but I am 55 and I've been at SAR for over twenty years! I also used to work in Emergency Preparedness and have been involved with SwissAir both for work and SAR, the Kosovo refugees, been to the Shearwater SwissAir hangar, in the 'Pink Palace' at the dockyard many times, Greenwood, etc etc.

Is this something that is ok to bring young kids along. My boys would find this interesting. If not that's okay too.

[RobSinclair 428]

As long as they are old enough to safely move around the ship I am ok with it. The ladders are rather steep. I will be in the vicinity of the gate at 7pm in the Silver 4Runner with the BackCountry 4x4 sticker. We can head in to the ship shortly after 730.

[Daren Cook 54]

Not sure if I'll make it now. Had to pick up one of my boys early from daycare because he wasn't feeling good.

[RobSinclair 428]

Make sure everyone brings Identification. Except for the kids. :)
