“Go!Go!Go!” Dangling on the edge of a cliff I heard the echo of Sir Rolyat’s voice. The crew had left a clear path from the edge of the mountain all the way to the safe area. I reached up and swung my legs round the branch then Eille reached up and grabbed my arms. It was a really hot day in Hawaii and the sun was setting slightly to the west- the view was perfect. After a few seconds of composing ourselves I said: “C’mon, daylight ends in a few hours” “Should we split?” “No.We started as a team and we end as a team” “We need to reach the top of the mountain so we can scan the terrain before time runs out” “But what happens if time does run out?” We all knew what would happen and let that show in our facial expressions. Our team consisted of over thirty people on the cliffs but most of them were almost at the top …show more content…
We grasped our thighs, wishing for minimum impact. Nothing surrounded us, just air. We each fell at different rates, the heaviest reaching the ground first. Sir Rolyat and some of the crew stayed in the helicopter, organizing our next move. We had been given earpiece, so we could talk to each other. “You all need to pull your parachutes...NOW!” We aimed for the unused motorway, did a flip mid-air and landed perfectly within the road. As our Nike shoes touched the smooth tarmac, our parachutes folded back up into our backpacks and we ran to our BMW’s ( We had been offered a promotion by BMW and had a car each). We threw ourselves in the driver’s seat, put the keys in and pulled off. Without hesitation, we started trying to get our cars into formation - a task that wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Getting the cars to line up perfectly while driving over the speed limit was tough although in the end we managed to create a straight line. “CUT!” Sir Rolyat said at the end of filming the scene. “We’ll film the next scene of the movie
Did you know that highly trafficked areas like Niagara Falls are best for solo hiking? Highly populated areas such as Niagara falls are exquisite hiking spots for novice hikers, even if someone is hiking a simple trail, it is pivotal that people are notified of the individual's whereabouts. It is crucial to communicate with family or trusted associates before you go on a hike owing to the fact that hiking alone can pose threats such as injuries, complicated weather, and dangerous wildlife.
Traveling always force ladies to dwell on their monthly menstrual cycle. It at times becomes very challenging and exasperating if you know that your periods are coming close to your traveling dates and you cannot alter or reschedule your travel dates. Because of lengthy hours of journey, frenzied traveling schedule and restricted time at the disposal could cause tiredness, frustration, which might cause menstrual period to come early or even befall irregular bleeding.
Wiping the sweat from my brow I called a halt to the crew. Phil and I dumped our packs and found a comfy boulder to rest on. I looked back to where the last guys were coming from back down the trail. They had stopped talking a while back and marched slowly along the dirt trail. Phil produced an energy-bar he’d saved from breakfast and began to munch on it as I drained another water bottle. After the refreshing drink I laid back against the rock and stared up at the pine trees. But a moment later, hearing grumble about sore legs, I sat up, grinning, “By the map we only have another couple hours.”
Astonishingly, Did you know that we have better maps of the moon than we do of the ocean? (#7) It’s true! Scientists are working to make drones to explore the deep sea. Ocean Exploration is a developing science that incorporates the use of marine biology and drone technology. Ocean Exploration technology will be an overall benefit to society because 1. exploring the ocean is easier than before and 2. ocean exploration can help with monitoring the deep sea.
Fishing charters are a fun activity to partake in when you go on an Alaskan vacation, no matter what time of year it is. You get to socialize, spend time on the water, see a variety of fish and even catch a few. While this can be exciting and unlike anything you have experienced before, many people have made the mistake of bringing certain items with them onto the boat. Depending on these items, the fishing charter may not be as fun and exciting as you expected.
Earth's oceans are dying. “About 80% of the ocean around the world is polluted with chemicals industrial and residential waste, all of which comes from the land” (“Marine Problems…”). Pollution is mainly coming from the people. Marine pollution should be stopped because it is the cause of many problems and if something is done about it, people will see an increase in sea life and healthier waters. It makes its way into the ocean and kills marine life. Ocean pollution is affecting the way of fisherman and their everyday lives. It is also very bad on the community because pollution is very bad on tourism. Ocean pollution should be stopped because it is poorly affecting marine life, it is not good for fishermen, and is very bad on tourism.
“In climbing, having confidence in your partners is no small concern. One climber’s actions can affect the welfare of the entire team”(37)
The photo above is the photo I think should be removed. I think it should be replaced because it does not really represent the Pacific maritimes wildlife. There are so many other animals that can be found in the pacific maritime. For example there are Black-tailed Deer, Black and Grizzly bears, Mountain Lion, Fisher, Chestnut-backed Chickadee. Some water animals are Sea Lions, Seals, and whales. I think if animals are going to be shown at least a variety of them should be shown. I don't see any point in showing bears over any of the other animals in the Pacific maritime. I chose the photo at the bottom to replace the one on top because agriculture is actually a big part of the pacific maritime. The pacific maritime also has very rich soil

Donning her brown and red striped jacket she rushed off down a series of corridors, shoving past crewmembers of little note and mechanic bots like ZZ-8 until she could find herself at the door of the captain's cabin. Her little heart was beating ever so fast as she lifted her shaking hand and rapped her knuckles against the steel frame.
There are four named oceans in the world: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. Roughly 70% of the earth’s oxygen is produced by marine plants and only 27% by rainforests. Over 80% of ocean pollution comes from land based activity. This activity can include, but is not limited to, burning oil and not recycling plastics. With knowing those statistics, people should undoubtedly be more concerned with our ocean’s health and well being than what they currently are. Yes, there are a copious amount of websites that accept donations but there are other ways that do not involve breaking the bank to save and protect the oceans. By using reusable plastics, reducing our carbon footprint, and buying ocean-friendly products and food, the oceans dying process could not completely stop, but slow down drastically.
The saltwater fishing lure green machine is one of the most popular lures. Saltwater fishing is exciting, and wonderful. Having the right saltwater tackle helps to make it fruitful as well.

The next day, Instructor assignments were announced and to my dismay, I had Jer. When we got out to the tarmac, the first round of flights were announced. I heard my name so I reported to the glider where I hopped in making sure that I put on the belts in the correct order. The wing runners centered us on the runway. Our tow plane centered up in front of us and the tow hook was attached to our nose by one of the flight line staff. “When we hit one-hundred feet you will say ‘One-hundred feet if the rope breaks then we land in front of us’ and when we hit two-hundred you will say ‘Two-hundred feet if the rope breaks then we will turn-around and land on the runway'.” He gave the wing runner a thumbs up signaling we were ready for departure. “You’re taking off by the way.” (INSERT FEELINGS) The control stick was limp at first, but began to start to increase tension as more air started to pass over the
While vacation may seem like a week away from home, traveling has so many positive aspects. Whether one travels for a few days, or for a year, it can open the eyes of many people and change their views. While on the road, people often discover who they really are and create relationships with people they will never forget. During this adventure, people learn new languages, and connect with the world in a new way. Traveling is beneficial to both a persons mental and physical health; it makes the mind more creative, and it's a great way to exercise .
Recycling and going green has been at the forefront of everyone's mind for the last 10 years. It has become a major concern to able to preserve the planet and reverse some of the damage that society has been inflicting over the last two hundred years. Everyone's concerned with emissions and electric cars but the world is in fact over two-thirds water. So naturally what society should be concerned about should be the oceans in the pollution and negative human impact that people have placed on them. Part of the problem as an initial estimate of the amount of plastic is not accurate. Not to mention incredible environmental and ecological effects the plastic has on marine life. Ocean plastic has reached a critical level where human intervention needs to take place.
