Today, Parasailing!

I have always wanted to go parasailing. It always seemed like one of things that isn't a grand idea. Somewhat foolhardy.

Today at the Iberostar they were having a special on parasailing. All new equipment. Special price. Daughter had been complaining about being bored...so...you see where this is going? Up we went to the wild blue yonder.

For this scared of heights Momma it was a pretty great experience. A couple of frights, though.

At one point we were so far down that our feet were actually dangling in the water. I'm pretty sure that wasn't intended. We were no where near the boat. Another time it looked like they were trying to reel us in and we were getting no where. As per the weather report it was pretty windy up there. As they were trying to reel us in we were just pulling the boat backwards.

Finally, when I was already completely disengaged and Daughter was getting unhooked, she grabbed the pulley apparatus to steady herself as it was still pulling up rope.

You see where this is going too, don't you? Her little hand got sucked into the pully. I tried to take a picture and you can't see it very well, so you'll just have to imagine it.

Daughter is getting anxious to check her email, so I'd better go.
