I drive Dale crazy because I take with SO MUCH stuff on the boat. I pack a bag with water or pop, a bite to eat, treats for the dogs, a water container for the dogs, sunscreen, two umbrella's (shade for the dogs), a book, sometimes knitting or crocheting, my camera, my fishing license just in case I really decide to fish. Everything except the kitchen sink or so he says.
He just doesn't understand that it is as much about relaxing as fishing for me. I take care of the dogs (that means keep them out of his way.) I also help to net the big fish. Most of all, I get to relax. If I catch a few fish that is just a bonus.
This weekend I was grateful that I had my camera with. We were on Clear Lake and saw people taking off from a nearby park - parasailing.

Fun in the sky |
Okay, Fun for someone but not me. I'm not afraid of heights. I fly small airplanes. But I am afraid of my feet dangling in the air with nothing solid beneath them. Other than that, this looks like it would be a blast. I was told later that this person is visiting from New Zealand. They definitely have a wonderful memory (and view) of Minnesota.

Parasailing on Clear Lake |
The spotters in the boat were keeping a close eye on the person harnessed into the parachute.

Landing |
The next few seconds the shoot will keep moving on as the person lands in the water (most of the time.)

Parasailing at Sunset |
We left the lake as the sun was going down. I would imagine that they left shortly behind us. What an absolutely perfect way to spend a summer weekend.
