Parasailing

2009.03.10
A fantastic vista the Sea of Cortez

Actually taking these self portraits was dizzy making to say the least the wind did not help either … and yes I would do it again.

high of 2,000 feet (610 m) and a real trill


Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat) while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail. The boat then drives off, carrying the parascender into the air. If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time. The parascender has little or no control over the parachute.

JuliaGotz I remember the feeling - I did it a long time ago. I remember singing while I was up there. I felt like a happy kid. I can't imagine taking my precious camera up there with me, in case I came down in the water.

If I had the money for the new camera I dream and dream of, maybe I'd take the old one up for a ride.
