Went with Cayetana and Kevin and Genevive on a Duck Tour! I’ve always wanted to do it, but everyone I know either has done it already or doesn’t want to be associated with the huge truckloads of tourists honking through the streets of Boston. It’s an amphibious vehicle, dude - a car that can swim or a boat that can go on land is inherently cool, how can you not love it!? The launch ramp is down by the Sand & Gravel company under the Zakim Bridge, he puts the truck into neutral and we roll down into the water, he shifts a couple levers to disengage the driveshaft from the wheels and engage the propeller, and all of a sudden we’ve gone from a 6-wheel truck to a boat! Dude that is SO AWESOME. It’s hard to describe just why it feels so magical. Like, when you’re in a car, going in the water is a bad idea, and when you’re on a boat, hitting land is a bad idea, so having this transportation chimera that will happily do both is just astonishing. And they let me drive! We’re out in the middle of the Charles River and the guy gets out of the driver’s seat and invites anyone up who want’s to be captain, and he let me drive around the river for like 20 minutes. Dude the Duck Tour is so great. Only thing could make it better be if they let you drink. Everybody loves a Party Bus, everybody loves a Booze Cruise, we put them together for some Amphibious Assault Drinking.
