October 14th, Seattle, 45 degrees fahrenheit. Chances are we were the only ones waterskiing within 100 miles of Seattle, but we did it, as frigid as it may be. Definitely the last ski of the season. It was socked in with clouds and fog all day, and it was FREEZING, but we all skied (my uncle, me, and two of his buddies). We actually took a jug of water heated in a crab pot over a propane stove to pour down our wetsuit collars just before we jumped in. It worked, but if you had to take more than one try to get up, all that nice delicious warmth was renewed with icey lakewater… It was a blast!
I can’t believe you chose that activity over the very nice (and much warmer) ride around Mercer Island with me, Harper, and Irene. The rain held off, the traffic was light, and none of us needed to pour hot water down our shirts before mounting our cokers. We even got lost, which added to the adventure. And this was supposed to be your weekend to organize… You need to get your priorities straight.
Not in my opinion. Don’t come into somebody else’s thread about something they thoroughly enjoy and try to change their mind about it. That’s like going into a unicycling forum and starting a thread saying that everybody should bicycle…it’s much more fun!
I waterski. I snowski. It’s fun. Don’t try to change my mind.
