Playing in the Ocean


After planting mangroves we took the boat out into the shallow delta and paddled and played around in the water for a couple hours. There was a smaller boat that had a board with a rope attached that worked great for water boarding. The nice thing about water skiing is you don't have to worry about running into trees although some of us did get a little wetter than if we had been snow skiing. Aja loved it but I didn't worry about trying water boarding because it was amazing just being there, as Bill Vaughn said It's hard for the modern generation to understand Thoreau, who lived beside a pond but didn't own water skis or a snorkel”

  1. Isn't water boarding a kind of torture that was practised in Guantonimo Bay?

  2. yeah you think the US army could afford proper skii's bouncing up and down on the waves on nothing but a long board with a wooden slat nailed across the bottom is barbaric... but it is kind of fun too....
