Photos: Boating @ Lake Saguaro

2003-07-26

It's 0530 Saturday morning. What else is there to do but go water skiing? Well, at least nothing better to do. In an effort to avoid the lake crowd, and wavey water Al, Jenny and I decided to make an early morning trip to the lake. Combine Jenny and me and a couple cameras, and you end up with lots of pics. Here's some of the better ones.






Al was first up. He skied.


And he skied.


And he skied until he couldn't ski any longer. And why not with glass smooth water like that.


I skied for a bit after that. I got up on slalom the first time, and avoided falling long enough to have some fun.


Jenny was up next. After a few tries she made it look like 2nd nature... or something like that.


Here's a short video clip of Jenny's skiing. Well, almost 30 seconds and about 7 MB. Download with caution. I'll have to look into making it smaller.


Typically Jenny had very graceful falls... so lightweight she floats on the water for a little before sinking. This one was slightly less graceful.


Here I am, being silly... or trying to get an idea of what a ram air car feels like.


Here's me again.


And again. We were trying to catch each other falling, so we took a bunch of pictures at what seemed like opportune falling moments.


Al, giving the thumbs up.


Cutting across the wake.


Jenny shows her "King of the Hill" stance - or Queen of the Boat in this case.


Jenny in the tube.


And me on the tube. After a day of skiing its even harder to hold on.
