Boating

One of my favorite summer activities...boating. I have gone twice thus far. That possibly sets a new record for me for number of times boating in one summer. McKay lives in Saratoga so it is as convenient as boating gets to just go there at their marina. We went a few weeks ago and I got sunburned pretty bad, not my worst burn, but it was enough to put me in a skirt for the next few days at work cause my legs were so hot. I didn't get in the water at all on that outing, but we went this last monday and as soon as I got on the boat I was ready to wakeboard. I did better than I've ever done, which isn't saying much, but I stayed up for a while, which was a good start. And if I knew I was going to fall, I just let go rather than let the boat drag me down, because that always makes me killer sore. (Not to say that I'm not a little sore still, but less so.) Anyways, it was a blast. My friend Mango from Oakcrest came with me and we met up with McKay and his crew and had a great time!

Me wakeboarding. Don't mind the tan lines, they are the
remnants of the first boating trip when I got fried.

Ha. I let go of the rope, went out of the wake, and had time to
plug my nose before I sunk down. The best part is she got it on camera.

McKay wake-surfing. I want to do this so bad.

I'm so glad you were able to plug your nose before going under! Because at that point, you're worried about way to many things to be able to breath out your nose at the same time!!! Lol I'm glad that you had fun boating! I'm absolutely terrified of boats!
