Just a quick update on what has been happening.
I've now been in Raleigh, NC for just over a week and have just completed my Wilderness First Responder course. The course was pretty interesting, it went far beyond what you would think of as basic first aid, and covered everything from how to set broken bones and reset dislocated joints to how to administer shots, how to give spinal assessments for trauma patients. Not to mention that I am now allowed to pronouce people dead after 30min of sustained cardiac arrest.
I'll be flying down to St. Maarten tomorrow. For the first couple days after I arrive it appears that I will have the days to myself to just explore the island before any real work starts.
I'll post another update when I have a more clear idea of what is going to be happening when I actually arrive in St Maarten and how the trips are going to work out. Including when I actually leave on my trips around the islands.

Canada and Beyond
It has been quite a while since my last post so here is a bit of an update on what is going on.
I've been back in Canada for about and month and a half now. I will be leaving tomorrow to go on my next adventure.
First I will be flying to Raleigh, NC to take a Wilderness First Responder course. (http://wildmed.com/subframes/courses/8_day.html) As soon as I complete this course I fly out to St. Maarten where I will be working out of for the rest of the summer.
As mentioned in earlier posts I will be working for Broad Reach, a youth problem for the summer similar to Outward Bound. Basically I will be living on a yacht in the Caribbean for the summer with about a dozen kids at a time on a yacht teaching them to scuba dive and sail. There was a slight change in plans where I originally thought I was going to be going to Belize but I was transfered to the Caribbean program instead. So the trip I will be taking will look something like this:
St. Maarten -> Ile Fourche -> St. Bart's -> St. Kitt's -> Nevis -> Saba -> Statia -> St Maarten
The trip in total will be about 3 weeks. I will be doing this trip most likely 3 times this summer.
