    Otherwise you only put on a jacket when they turned the air up too high and you only knew the sun had set because it was ever so slightly dimmer in the main dome.

    Funny you should mention that, as this is exactly the crew I want to end up on. But as I understand it, they rotate you throughout all of the watercraft. So some would be in the A/C, while some, like the ferries to the Poly and GF, would be in the open air. But I guess if you want to do something enough, you get used to the conditions...eventually.

    I doubt that, that's Disney's *thing*.

    I'm surprised the crews compartment isn't AC.

    Except when it doesn't work - those things get warm, quickly.

    I carry about 70 lbs. of gear. But I only carry that about 150 yards and down a flight of stairs to the truck at the beginning of my shift and back up at the end of my shift. But I do lift a 60 lb spool of cable in and out of the truck several times a day.

    I wasn't even thinking about the smaller shuttle, and pontoon boats being Ferries. I was only thinking about the big one going from TTC to the MK.

    He's just thinking about snagging another fish out there. Using the bait he developed from Casey's Corner. :)
