Quiz: What Mixed Drink Are You?

Haven't done one of these stupid things in weeks. Time to change that

You Are a Martini
There's no other way to say it: you're a total lush. You hold your liquor well, and you hold a lot of it!

Photos from Ride on HarbourJet

I told you I would get photos online

Billy and I - before the ride. Notice we are NOT wet.

 

Happy Jetboat riders. Notice, Billy and I are sitting in the front. In retrospect, it was the best place to sit. The folks in the back got soaked!

Speeding in Sydney Harbour

Today I delivered on my gift to Billy - we went on our Sydney Harbour jetboat ride.

We had the Jet Blast Adventure, which is described as :

After venturing out of Darling Harbour, we unleash the full power of the jet at 75km/h, with a continual mix of 270-degree spins, wild fishtails and incredible power brake stops. Hold on tight as the fast pumping music keeps your heart beat racing.

Yup, that about sums it up.

The guy driving the boat (I'll call him the captain) came on board with a coffee and popped it in a holder. He was drinking it for most of the time.  He didn't spill a drop. Amazing.

Billy had a great time out on the harbour. There were a bunch of visitors to Sydney on the boat, including this Canadian girl. No one warned her about the ride and she really wasnt wearing the most sensible of clothes.  Well, you can imagine the results. She got really wet. Drenched infact. It was quite a sight. We had our own wet tshirt competition, and we were the judges. I'm sure the captain did it on purpose to amuse himself.

And yes, we got really wet too. Good thing I bought along a change of clothes for both Billy and myself. Once on dry land, we had a quick change and we're able to enjoy the sights at Darling Harbour.

I haven't had a chance to upload the official photos, but I will soon.
