Day two of the Ice Station Zebra training

Out onto the Humber today to zoom around with the fresh wind and spray
in our faces. These are two of the boats that we are training on, the
one on the left can go up to nearly 40 knots which is really quite
scary.
There was the odd snow flurry during the day but in the main it was
clear and sunny and about 26 degrees colder than Tampa on Saturday.
Tomorrow we do our swimming pool training, capsizing and righting the
boat. We've been assured that the pool is heated. After that it is
back to Albert Dock for our practical exam.
