Maritime Safety, [Monday, Period Three]

Bond's class met one final time down by the docks, where a number of water-craft waited for them, including a motorboat, a jet-ski, a row-boat, and several sets of snorkels and flippers.

"Good morning, class," Bond greeted them. "This is our final class, and we'll be putting what you've been learning into practice."

He gestured out into the water where a number of buoys were set up, outlining a zig-zagging course. "As you can see, I've set up a course for you to go though one one at a time. You can use your choice of the provided craft, or swim if you choose to. This is not so much a race as a test of skill, the object is complete the course with the minimum amount of errors."

"So who's up first?"

For the last time!

Princess Ariel

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

Kyle Reese

Particularly the part where he's pointing out the course.

Oh, yes. Ariel will miss coming to this class, seeing what the task of the day was, and then giggling with maniacal glee in anticipation of what she got to do.

Today she was doing it with particular excitement, too. This was going to be epic.

Hiccup listened very intently.

Mostly.

To be fair, the thought of getting to ride in the motorboat again was pretty distracting.

Or boat it, or swim it.

The only real problem Hiccup faced was the almost overwhelming temptation to skip the course in favour of getting a better look at the motor.

That fight successfully won, he took the boat out onto the course. Sensible actually got a look in as he kept his speed low, and after steering a dragon at top speed, steering the boat successfully through the buoys wasn't too much of a challenge.

Except for that one. "Oh that's not good." He quickly glanced over his shoulder, smiling in relief when the buoy bobbed back up to the surface, and continued the rest of the course without incident.

And without taking apart the motor.

Kyle felt most comfortable with the jet ski, so he instead decided to go for practice on the row boat. He had the upper body strength to keep going through to the end, but trying to coordinate the oars slowed him down.

He'll miss you all. Especially you.

As they ping in one more time.

Rose was there, yes. And she was trying not to die from the glare of the sun on the water coming through her sunglasses into her still extremely hungover eyes.

Apparently trying to match a gigantic Russian drink for drink was a terrible idea.

Kyle was there too. He was the one looking uncoordinated in the row boat.

Woe, final class.
