Sam And Saundra's Second Time Around - Part 26

Sam And Saundra’s Second Time Around – Part 26

Mexico

11/1/10-3/1/11 – Yuma Break – Cabo More Air

We rushed out of our room, carrying our camera and sandals.  We ran a short distance up the steep, gold sand beach, then turned and ran straight into the surf.  Arms grabbed me from above and Sam pushed from behind. Just when it seemed like the waves were going to win, I landed with a graceful kerplunk in the waiting water taxi.  Sam teetered on the edge of the boat, then was tugged in the rest of the way, as the boat sped off to meet our next adventure.  We had no time to come to our senses before we found ourselves being shuffled from one boat to another in open sea.  We received no pre-instructions. After putting us in a harness affair, attached to nothing, we were told to sit down with our legs straight in front of us.  We were finally hooked up and off zoomed the boat.  There was a little tug, and Sam and I, holding hands, were gently lifted off of the deck of the boat and into the air.  Above us was a silky sun-bright yellow and orange balloon-like parachute.  Up, up, up.  Little wind, no sense of danger.  At least until I looked down at the sea way below us.

Another Flight

Have you ever wondered what a worm must feel as it dangles at the end of the line over a fully loaded body of water? This sea is packed with migrating whale, and an assortment of fish.  My imagination wandered and we had so much fun.  Sam has been vetoing going parasailing until now.  He suggested it.  When no whales nibbled our toes, we watched the cruise ships, fishing boats and water toys below.  We saw whales spouting and the sun shining through the rocks that are the ‘trademark’ of the Cape of San Lucas.  We soared. We grinned. This time, Sam’s was wider than mine. We liked it so much we did it again on another day.  We plan to do it again, whenever the chance arises.  We are hooked and loving it.
