We started out on a
traditional "Dhow' boat, towing a ski boat and a couple of jet-skis.
The Vorpal Bunny had to make sure they were back there.. (252kb) |
He then wanted to
drive the boat, so he took a turn at the wheel...

As soon as we stopped and got
safety buoys deployed, Peter wanted to be first to jet-ski.

Because not everyone wanted to jet-ski, and after going once some
didn't want to go again, I got several chances. The yellow one was a
little small but much more responsive. It was great fun.

We spent 3 hours
or so before stopping for some barbecue lunch, and then another hour of
water sports. Then it was time to go back. |

Heading back into the harbor,
you can see that I got a lot of sun.

Another shot of Jim, but using
a "fill-in" flash so his face wasn't in so much shadow.
