Yesterday we watched a group of people ziplining between some towers. It was, as it is today, over 100 degrees and it feels like high humidity so climbing those towers did not seem like a lot of fun and the whole thing seemed like a lot of work.\u00a0 We didn&#8217;t really like the looks of it either so parasailing started looking very attractive. You do it from a moving boat and where else but on a moving boat would you choose to be on a hot humid day? Maybe, when we get to a cooler place we will give it another try &#8211; maybe Park City on our way home?<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we signed up for an 11:00am parasailing ride and went out with 2 other couples. Part of the fun is having the crew shoot pictures of the ride and, of course, buy the photos and movie from them. They just use a Nikon SLR with a zoom lens and the guy is not a real photographer but, he takes lots of pictures so a few have to be good &#8211; right? Below are the movie of our takeoff and various still photos.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to a video of our ride:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\"
