The Digitalis Team gets Wet and Wild

Posted on: 1:52pm, 2010 October (Tuesday 19th) By: admin

The social team (myself, Emily & Kat) planned a secret away day for the Digitalis office. We had informed everyone that they should dress warmly.

Anticipation and suspense was building as the private taxis carried everyone way from the Digitalis office, off to the unknown location. Several rumours were spilling out as to what we should expect, some were outrageous, and others were pretty much spot on.

When we eventually got on to the pier, where the mysterious activity was unveiled… An exhilarating boat ride with the Thames Rib Experience. We all had to don very fetching water-proof outfits, pirate bandanas and eye-patches, then preceded down to the water’s edge where the rib boat fast approached.

Everyone jumped aboard, and gripped tightly to the inflatable structure. The tour operator began to play theatrical pirate music as the boat pulled out, and eyes began to roll. The ‘pirate’ themed tour of the Thames was certainly of interest, even to the most learned Londoner’s. Once beyond the Canary Wharf barrier, we sped up to some considerable pace, the driver swerved and wheeled the boat around as we screamed, our eyes waters and hung on to the railing for dear life.

Once back on dry land we slowly walked over the road across the road to a nearby bar and had some food and beverages to warm the insides… and that’s when the fun started.
