Parasail Adventure

No, not mine. Chris and Becky went parasailing in the early afternoon, as storm clouds gathered on the horizon. They were driven out to the big boat by a kid Becky described as a “9-year-old”; the boy laughed at Becky’s very realistic fear of being thrown out of the boat. Soon I was filming … the wrong couple. Finally, it was their turn.

The experience seems to have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The safety precautions were perhaps less than they should have been, and Chris found himself looking at the quality of the knot holding the ropes as well as the proximity of propellers. Fortunately, the experience ended well.

The rain fell for much of the rest of the afternoon and early evening.
