Safe passage

Pretty much every boat and even some of the cars and trucks we travelled in had a collection of flowers and prayer flags fixed to the front. Sometimes simple sometimes elaborate either way this silent display of the Buddhist faith had a way of generating a feeling that we were gonna be safe on this vessel.

On this particular boat we experienced some serious roller coaster like waves. All six of us were riding up front and got totally soaked except for Cory who managed to stay dry and read his book the whole while we were shrieking and hanging on! I made a mental note never to moisturize my legs before getting on one of these boats again. I was friggin' sliding all over the place!

From what I can tell we didn't lose a single orchid or anything else for that matter from the front of this boat including Canadians.
