Not Wearing Sleeves, Part 3 (in the water)











Did I mention that the water, though typical-lake-murky, was wonderfully warm, shallow to the end of the dock, and soft sandy-bottomed? Ideal conditions for those (Deven) who were terrified at the beginning of the week...and we couldn't pull away by the end.

The jetski was well-used by
- Uncle Tommy (the pro),
- Aunt Heather (who lost a pair of sunglasses in a spectacular wipeout),
- Uncle Jeff (pictured here; a natural!),
- Aunt Rea (who took about .02 seconds to figure out how to stand up and do it well), and
- Yogesh (who had the good fortune of having it run out of gas on him twice in the middle of the lake; and note his skinned-shins in the prior post photos).
- I tried the jetski, but didn't quite get it or really *like* the experience, so I left it to the experts.

Meanwhile, on the boat, Aunt Marsha got back on the waterskis (she & Aunt Carolyn grew up on Orchard Lake in Michigan) - she was too fast for us to grab a snapshot; but the image of her showing up the teenagers as she cruised on by is still in my head! :)
