Parasailing and Paddle Boarding.

The third day we were in Captiva we went paddle boarding. I was Mac, Jonathon, Clay, Blake and I. Paddle boarding is where you stand on this huge seven foot board and paddle. It was kind of hard at first, but then I started to get the hang of it. I was the last one until I fell off and started using my feet because I could stand. So once I caught up to everyone it was much more fun. Then I ran into a bunch of branches and it hurt really bad. Everyone was laughing at me. I didn't think it was that funny. After that Clay tried to push me off, but he fell instead it was hilarious.


After all that we started looking for things. We saw a school a huge Mullitt. Mullitt is a type of fish that is usally not that big. These were the biggest Mullitt I had ever seen. I saw a bunch of other fish but I couldn't determined what type they were. Once we were like a mile out from where we started we some some Sting Rays. I was afraid to fall in now after what happened to Steve Erwin. Then we started Heading back and clay and I had a war. We kept trying to knock each other off our boards. I got him off like five times and he got me off like once. It was really fun and a good experience.


That same day we decided to got parasailing. they people that do the parasailing have been there for a long time. Davis, Clay, Jonathon and I went parasailing. We signed up for the highest rope distance. When we were up in the air we were looking for Sharks and turtles, but we didn't see any. The captain of the boat was shaking the rope when we were in the air. It was fun, but I couldn't wait until he dunked us. So then we started coming in and he dunks us. I thought we were going to drowned he dunked us so far. It was awesome. The captain said he has never dunked anyone that far before.
