Para sailing on Seven Mile Beach

Yesterday Katie and Stephanie went para sailing on Seven Mile Beach. They caught a tender at West Bay public beach out to the boat. Once on the boat, they got hooked up to a harness and life vest and then sat down on the back deck of the boat. They were attached into the bar that hangs from the para sail and waited for the rope to be released. Stephanie had her camera attached to her wrist tightly to take pictures. As the rope was released they slid off the back of the boat and into the air. They got up a good 200 feet and were up for about 10 minutes. Stephanie took a bunch of pictures from the sky and both said they could see across the island to the north sound. Near the end Stephanie discovered why it isn't a good idea to eat Chinese takeout before going para sailing. The two deposits into the water meant that the ceremonial dip into the water at the end of the journey were to clean as well as celebrate the completion of the flight. Both thoroughly enjoyed the flight, none the less next time we will just have to plan better with lunch and some nausea medicine. This weekend is Stephanie's last on the island and we plan to snorkel a couple of the wreck sites and also the Northern tip of West Bay where there are some turtles.
