Big Bonding: Boating

White Lake, ADK
May 12 & 13, 2003











Fuel up!

Water Safety
Jen and I in our fashionable neon life vests.
Launching
Prepare for takeoff!
And She's Off!
Jen, though we sometimes forget, will always be a Girl Scout at heart.
And what an accomplished kayaker!
Boating
It's raining lightly and feels like 20 degrees, but we're zooming along perusing the lake--and having a great time!

Hypothermia
Dawn has always wanted to go water skiing. Why she's insanely adamant about doing it in winter-like weather, we're not sure. But she jumps in--wetsuit and all--screams that she can't breathe and jumps back out. The water is quite chilly apparently. Better wait until Summer.
Docking
As we attempt to dock the boat after our excursion in the icy waters, Nicole decides to jump out while we're still 3 feet away from the floating dock. Key word: floating. How she survives the seeming inevitable fall into the water we'll never know!
