Floats your boat

I'm still working at the same place and I have another 6 weeks to go, which means ive had constant work all summer. It has had some really boring moments, for example theres times that i get to work at 8:30 and not do anything until 10:30. Some may say that its good to be able to do nothing and get paid for it. I enjoy being productive and accomplishing tasks because it makes you feel like your time is valuable.
Still waiting on my permanent residency to come through, they keep pushing the timeline back and were getting very annoyed by the whole process.
Weve been boating with Andrea's parents every weekend for the past 3 weeks. They own a 28ft motor boat and theres no lack of rivers and lakes in this part of the country. This pastweekend was great, we met with Andrea's parents in Orillia and then had dinner with their friends who own a large property a little outside Orillia. Their friends owned a quadbike and let Andrea and I go for a ride where we came across a big porcupine near a swamp.
We stayed on the boats for both Friday and Saturday night and Sunday morning we left on the boat through a channel called the Severn river and into Georgian bay. We left around 9am and got there around 3:30pm, so it was a long trip only because we had to go slow through most of the channel.
