Parasailing!

Yesterday Ken and I went to Catalina Island to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Just the two of us. It was blissful. We had never been to Catalina but have wanted to go since we moved to California. One of our adventures for the day included parasailing. It was an awesome experience!
Basically, you empty your wallet, get on a boat and they attach the harnesses and let the rope out slowly as they drive the boat around the harbor until you reach an altitude of about 600 feet. It is so quiet and peaceful up there! We were up for probably about 10 minutes and the view of the island was incredible.









They really have the whole experience down to a science. They say that they can even bring people in wheelchairs. When you come down, you land on your feet and you never even get wet.
