Snowing at sea turns into a fight!!?!

Filed under: Snowing at sea turns into a fight!!?! — Michael @ 2:30 am

As I said earlier there is not much to do out at sea.  The boat is only so big and you can only go over the same space so many times before you get really bored.  But we are resourceful scientists and can find fun in simple things.  When two such scientists, Brandon and Debbie, were checking out the -20˚C freezer, they stumbled upon a great find…snow (well sort of).  They filled up a tub and went outside to try and make snowballs.  This was pretty tough as the snow was really really cold and hurt your hand a lot to touch it.  But that was not enough to stop us!  They ambushed their technician, Joe, but he was pretty nimble and danced around most of the snowballs.  Even caught the last one and threw it back.

Just found the ice!!!!

Don’t let those faces fool you…they’re killers!

 

That snow is sooooo cold it hurts!!

They find Joe and unload!!!!

Some action shots of the first attack on Joe!!!

Good times…

Final here is a link to a video ———->SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!! <——————- of the rest of that snowball fight.  This site won’t let me inbed the video for some reason and uploads the pictures all weird.  Sorry about that.  But just click the link to see it.

I took part in the next fight but could not take pictures at the same time.  It was pretty fun.
