Water WOW!

Hey readers! If you're wondering why I didn't blog yesterday, I'll tell you.

Yesterday, I was bored, so I called my friends. My friend answered and told

me that I could come n' play in 20 min. So I went back to the computer while

my mom made lunch. Then the phone rang, and my mom answered.

It was my friend's parent. They said that they were going to the Santa Barbra

Harbor, to go kayaking. They were also going to Quizno's for lunch.

They were about to leave and I was invited. So after I got ready to kayak,

I climbed under the hole in the fence (the two properties are divided by

a chain-link fence, under which is a hole.) ...and went to Quizno's.

After we ate, we went to the harbor. Apparently, My friend's dad is

a personal friend with a watercraft rental man; we used his watercraft-

otherwise it would be about $130 an hour for a jetski! I was told to put on a

wetsuit, and a lifejacket, which I did. Then my friend, his dad, and I all got

on a jetski; there was room for another adult! then we were off.

The jetski really freaked my out at first, but I got used of it.

We went way out past the buoy that signals the area where big ships

(yachts, etc.) go. We even got to see the sea-lions living it up on the buoy.

After that fun, we headed back for the harbor. I got off the wild waterjet,

and waited for something more to happen. After a while, everyone decided to

get on a boat (truthfully two boats, because of the size of the group.)

The faster of the two boats was carrying one of those things that gets dragged behind the boat, and that people ride. I was on the slower boat. We rode around

and had fun for awhile, then my friend's dad tried to get him on the dragged

thing. He really didn't want to. So he stayed on the boat and watched his cousins

take on the ocean in the draggy thing. it flopped in the air and crashed down again. It's like riding a kite that is in the ocean. Eventually my friend's cousin

told my friend to get on. His cousin said that with three people on, the thing

wouldn't go into the air. He got on, and I did too. It was kinda fun, but really

scary! There was a plastic piece in the canvas, that you can see through.

I looked through it, but all I could see was white zooming behind me.

Soon, I'd had enough, so I got on the dragging boat.

After awhile, We had to go back to harbor. When we arrived, There

was a giant tourboat. I got to go on board the ship. My friend, his cousin, and I

all got a little snack (free!) from the snackbar. We went home soon after.

Sorry that story is so long! Oh well. See ya for now!-G
