Each PAX grabbed a block, thoughtfully arranged by YHC in advance and took a deck-by-deck tour of the Carnival Dream, where YHC (and M and 2.0’s) will relax and recharge from a long summer. Before food and drinks can be enjoyed, PAX had to get on the boat. Here we go:

Gangplank: Cusak Block to bottom of Liberal Hill and either run up hill or cusak block up hill. Air-Chair at top. Mosey down the hill, dodging multiple cars on their way to the gym back to the COP. The Dream has 13 decks, so YHC scanned the Exicon and called the following:

  1. Rivera Deck: Rocky Balboa’s *20
  2. Main Deck: Monkey Humpers *15
  3. Lobby Deck: Louganis *15
  4. Atlantic Deck: American Hammer *15
  5. Promenade Deck: Plank Jacks *15
  6. Upper Deck: Upright Row *20
  7. Empress Deck: Escalator: 10, 30, 50 Curls; 20, 40 Overhead Press
  8. Veranda Deck: Very Hard Kamikaze Pullovers *15
  9. Vista Deck: V-ups *15
  10. Lido Deck: Lt. Dan’s *15
  11. Panorama Deck: Patty Cake Merkin *10
  12. Spa Deck: Squeaky Bed Dolly *15
  13. Sky Deck: Side Straddle Hop Burpees *4 (20 SSH, 4 Burpees)

Since the PAX were so efficient in getting through the tour, some additional treats were added:

  • Imperial Walkers *15
  • Jump Rope *40 Clicks
  • LBCs *15
  • Jump Rope *50 Clicks
  • Solo Iron Cross *15
  • Jump Rope *40 Clicks
  • Howling Monkey – 5 Monkey Humpers each around the circle

Solid work from the PAX this morning. YHC appreciates the continued support of and encouragement from the PAX.
