Great to see @AmyTopshee and her friends head down to visit the ships in #Vancouver for #FleetWeek
It’s their own version of the #NavyBikeRide !

So.. as a former CAF cook, a "purple trade", why I preferred the navy, from a culture POV.

A 🧵

[CWO/Adjuc Bob McCann @cafcwo_adjucfac]

As I spent my last night at sea, I reflected on the high quality of Sailors I had the privilege of spending the day with. I want to thank @HMCSOttawa for showing the @CDS_CANADA_CEMD and I what highly motivated and professional crews we have in the @RoyalCanNavy

@phrontist3r1on @DaintryT It was a great day - conditions were perfect for a long ski. Need to bring more fruitcake next time

@TimDocChoi Peter Mallett wrote a great story. Here’s my favourite photo to go with it!

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@TimDocChoi I wish they’d picked the picture with my wife in it! It was all Audrey’s idea. As the article itself makes clear, I don’t deserve any credit at all and she should be in the photo alongside Ray Young who built it. They are the heroes of this tale!

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@jtquilliam Bravo Zulu to all! It’s always great to see sailors recognized for their outstanding work

[VAdm/Vam Angus Topshee @Comd_RCN]

Vice-Admiral Charles Morris Winton "Chuck" Thomas was an inspiration to so many. One of my career highlights was listening to him describe how he delivered the modernization of the Tribal-class destroyers to our Navy. (1/3)

@sopelza @naval_service @mikebrunicardi Iris will be very sad to miss out! Her birthday is next month. Perhaps Caoimhe can make it there instead! 😀

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@sopelza Love it! Iris thinks it’s great

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

Showing why Fleet Command is at least the second best job in the @RoyalCanNavy

[Dave Mazur @RCNintheUSN]

Some parts of my job are exceptionally fun. Spent the morning with #FDU(P) on Thursday, diving in Maple Bay with the newest class of graduating Clearance Divers. My ulterior motive was that I had an advanced promotion to do....so why not do it underwater!

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

One of many outstanding sailors in the @RoyalCanNavy

Great to see her story told!

@toopacabra When people use “Lima time” when they really mean “Local time”. Lima is Zulu +11. It isn’t your local time zone unless you’re in the Pacific or the Russian Far East.

Just. Say. Local.

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@BikesnWhisky @NavyBikeRide Great work! And I love the locations you visited along the way
#BravoZulu

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@WestCoastCmdre @USCGPacificNW @USCG @RoyalCanNavy @MARPAC_FMARP @CAFinUS @SeafairFestival @ReadyAyeReady @HmcsYellowknife @HMCS_NCSMSask Who had the idea of including a hockey game at the reception? That’s brilliant!

And it is good that you won or we may not have allowed you to return home!

[Human Powered Racing @HumanPow]

Last year Amy had to take this race off to recover from an IT band injury. This year @AmyTopshee has returned from #UBC to crush this long course! Congratulations Amy! #SwimRunVictoria

[Kraken 38 @AngusTopshee]

@hockeyadmiral @NavyBikeRide It’s got to be NCR - and I’ve got a perfect destination in mind: the gravesite of Admiral Kingsmill, the founder of @RoyalCanNavy in Portland, ON. It’s about exactly the right distance for a round trip journey from downtown Ottawa
