On the Easter weekend our cottage neighbours Elwyn and Gloria and I decided we couldn't waste the fantastic weather we were having... we had to go water skiing!!
I organized getting our Malibu ski boat all ready for the water before we came up for the weekend BUT when we arrived the water level was down over two feet! The depth in our bay averages about 5-6 feet in the best of times so we were worried about tearing the prop off.
There's always a solution. We decided to ski behind our Seadoo. Over our crew Rylie's objections (he didn't think we could be towed with it) we threw caution to the winds and got the Seadoo into the water and assembled our gear.
I'm a wimp so I got dressed up in my dry suit - I wear sweat pants and shirt under it to keep warm and cosy and the only parts exposed are my feet (they go in the ski) and my head (which I have a hood for). Elwyn is a bit tougher than me and he just wore his wet suit.
After suitable prayers to the sun gods we jumped in and did it. The Seadoo pulled us up without a problem and it felt FANTASTIC to be back on the water again.
After skiing, it was a bit difficult getting OUT of my dry suit - seems it shrunk around the hips over the wintertime :).
Take a look at the video...
