Day 14: Rush.

DateMonday, December 14, 2009 at 8:37PM

I haven't read Rozie's blog yet but I'm sure her big Rush of 2009 is jumping off things while getting her photo taken.

The biggest rush this year I would have to say was...my testicles hitting the water during The Sidney Days: Build a Boat Race. It's the only thing that I can think that got this heart racing this year.



This was the second year Team Rocktopus did the race and the second year we won "Most Creative Boat." Last year was a dock. This year was a paddleboat, and next year will be a Zeppelin.

Sink or Swim.

I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories but this one makes to much sense. How else would you sell out 50 back to back concerts in London?

Zombie Jacko doing the Thriller dance I can get behind before I have to decapitate him to prevent a worldwide zombie outbreak.

In other news.

We are sponsored this year for the Build-a-boat race by 100.3 The Q! Who are giving us loads of promotion on the radio.

We had an awesome logo designed for us by our friend Kat.

Local screen printing show Incite/Concyse are printing our t-shirts.

We have a rad boat design that may or may not work. Think electromagnets.


This years team is the same as last years.

Shayne Kaye - Captain (of what I don't know).
Brian Seckel - Foreman/Boy Seaman.
Tyson Elder - Skipper/Lead Mechanical Engineer.

So Canada Day come down to Sidney to cheer us on. We start building at 12pm till 4pm. Then we race at 5pm sharp.

All this takes place at the end of Beacon Ave. Near the waterfront in front of The Pier Hotel.

On a side not I'm going to feather my hair in tribute of Farrah Fawcett.

Sorry for not posting lately. I've been busy designing our boat for this years race.

For those of you who didn't know Shaynebow, Brian, and I competed in the Sidney Days "Build a Boat" race last year and won "Most Creative Boat."

This year we are returning as "Rocktopus!!!"

It's on Canada Day in Sidney.
12pm-4pm we build.
5pm we race in the Sidney's harbour.
Come out and cheer us on.
