   We got to the boat and there's no one there! We're supposed to spend the night(s) on the boat, who's going to let us in? Tim's on the phone here trying to figure it out. Oh... we just go in and make ourselves at home.. ok.

   Um... this is a bit more of a sausage-fest than usual. And everyone looks like they kick some serious ass... err... the lone chick said they were all friends... uh-huh, i believe that since they all had matching gear and voice communications in the scuba gear... it wasn't long before we found out it was a FBI diving class...

   Damm... the FBI had a serious setup for their dive gear. Big-ass truck, two of them, with racks shooting out and drawers for everything. Quite organized.

   We were walking by a camera/photo shop where Tim needed to pick up some film and we saw this gun looking thing from WWII. On closer inspection it looks like a camera of some sort...
