It Is Only In Adventure

It is only in adventure
that some people succeed
in knowing themselves-
in finding themselves.

I went parasailing for the first time while on Catalina Island. It was so much fun and I was only scared about dropping my iPhone into the Pacific Ocean. We went up 800 feet and it was so calm and peaceful. The Captain played French music and I imagined we could have been in a boat along the French Riviera. It really added to the ambiance.

How crazy that you even had your iPhone out. You needed a GoPro camera instead!! Love the pics. Wish I could have been there to take pics myself.

Ken said, "That would be such a beautiful vantage point!" and I said, "...but you couldn't be taking photos!" ...well prove Me wrong won't you?! (I still don't have a cell phone and don't think as you do!) I DO however, have a couple nice photos of people riding up there! ...as I said, different vantage points!

@Weezilou We took some photos of people parasailing from Mt. Ada when were had a delightful lunch in September 2019. I have wanted to parasail since I saw it in Mexico in 1992. I couldn't talk my husband into parasailing in Hawaii either. So finally I went up with a friend of mine. So enjoyable!

@gardenfolk I'd never thought about how tranquil and quiet it would be up there! Your description sound divine! It would be too much to hope for that my photos of the parasailers would be one of you (!) but I might as well put one up as a juxtaposition to yours!
