What of the MLMBC? Last season the Club had good success with their "outside the box" off season experiments. You may remember the trip to Russia to learn balance with Figure skating and also the Motorcycle Rally in Europe for team building. Money well spent. In order to keep their edge over the competition, it was decided that this year the Club's first trip would be a charter boat for Alaskan Crab Fishing. What better way to build mental toughness than to experience some of the harshest working conditions on the planet.
Aryn and Jon had to figure out a good way to present the Club with their idea. They needed something so simple the whole team would understand their roles and end goal. After some french fries and a few half beers they began work on a scale model Lego fishing boat.
After hours of of explaining the same three sentences over and over again to convince the Club this was a good idea, they packed their bags and boarded a plane for Alaska.
Once in the harbor they were greeted by their captain and shown their ship and living quarters. This confused Mitch as he was heard saying, "I thought all this stuff was going to be made out of Legos. I want to go home."
Before shoving off the Club was shown some videos on boating safety
and also went through some exercises with Life Preserver Pete and Scuba Steve
After getting settled in and reviewing the map, it was time for the crew to shove off.
So now we sit patiently and wait for their return. Tune in next week to see how our boys fared on the open sea.
