Gearing up in class for the first time. I have to admit I felt a bit claustrophobic.
We did drills putting out different types of fires with extinguishers and the fire hose.
Meet "the can". Each group of three descends down into this burning container to practice some firefighting techniques. It was so hot, I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my life! I literally had to peel my sopping wet clothes off once I wiggled out of the suit.We did search and rescue, too, where you crawl through a simulated pitch black smoky apartment to find and remove a body, but that's not exactly something that you can photograph.

this was a very interesting read. it gave me a little glimpse into how hard working aboard a yacht can be. what a wild adventure you're going on!

Sounds freaky.
