Common Boating Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. These lines show the passion that people have for boating. Boating is the main recreational activity in many places like Australia, Arizona, California, Macau, British Virgin Islands, etc. The boat sales in Australia especially has increased, by leaps and bounds, as the boating season and festival is set to begin in March and April of 2019. You might be having your first experience of boating or you might be a seasoned boater, some common mistakes are likely to happen. We can avoid these mistakes by precautionary measures—take a refresher course before starting, follow a checklist before departure, remain focused on the details as route, fuel, battery, anchoring, etc. The U.S. Coast Guard has rules, any mistake in your boat is your own responsibility.

SlotZilla
My husband and I went on our first anniversary trip last year, and one of the many things we got to do was go to Las Vegas! We stayed there for two nights and one of the things we did in Vegas was the SlotZilla. If you don't know, the SlotZilla is a zip line that takes you over some busy areas, depending on the kind of ride you choose. There are two choices on how you can ride SlotZilla. You can either choose the zip line which is seven stories up, fly in a traditional sitting style and it only goes over two blocks. If the first option seems a little too boring, or you are more of a thrill seeker, the other option is to do the zoom line which is eleven stories up, fly in a "superhero" style and it goes over five blocks.

Going to a Celtic Festival
I had previously been to a Celtic festival that was hosted in downtown Saint Augustine. There were a large parade and a long crowd of people wanting to get into Francis Field for the highland games, good music, good food, and all the best merchandise you can find about Celtic customs.

Icelandic Punk Museum
I didn’t know what to expect during my week in Iceland, but I didn’t expect to find a punk museum. My knowledge in Icelandic music is limited, but I am a big fan of Björk’s albums, especially Verspitine. I haven’t listened to anything by her band The Sugarcubes, but that all changed when I set foot in Iceland.

The class is completely free, however, there is a tip jar. Wear comfortable shoes and a smile!

Skinning 25 Short
I hurried to heave off my layers. It was not the most ideal situation considering that it was 18 below zero also known as 50 degrees below freezing. I was stripping down to just my thin long sleeve because I had to put on my beacon. I wasn’t cold yet but I could feel the cold air creeping into my warm skin. It was kissing my nose and hands and turning them red and purple. My beacon beeped twice to show that it was ready and transmitting a signal. My layers were lying on the ground. I rushed to pull them over, hoping I wouldn’t freeze. I didn’t. First my sweatshirt, then a lime green puffy, and lastly my heavy ski jacket. Zipping up my jacket, I felt the cold air get one last nip and pulling on my smoky mustard gloves.
