Wakeboarding

So Bethany and I had some time off this past Sunday and wanted to do something fun, something we did back home, something to just make us feel normal for a bit. So we went to a wakeboard park but it was unlike anything we had ever seen or experienced. Instead of being pulled behind a boat we were pulled by a system of cables that was suspended 40ft above the water. The cable was in the shape of a rectangle and from one end to the other was 300ft or more feet. Its kind of hard to explain but it reminded me of a ski chair lift going round'n'round. If you fall, you just swim back. It was pretty convenient and efficient, we could keep going around until we wanted to stop and 10 or more people could go at once. Germany is really big into wakeboard parks and has 80 throughout the country, Croatia has just 3.

We are now getting ready for another owners trip. We are still in Croatia and should be here at least through the month of May. We have had some good time off and now we're gearing up for a 3 week (or more) trip. Hope all the Mum's had a great Mother's day! ;) That's it for now!
