Parasailing at Colva - On the first day of the vacation - where signs of restlessness of the previous night journey,
While we landed at Colva, we decided neither to venture
The speed boat, Parasail and sturdy rope of 300mts not to mention the life jacket............And the next few seconds, we were high-up in the sky.
The bird's eye view of the coastline, the vast Sea, the lofty
Its surely adventures, and as affordable as 250/-
Jet Skiing at Calangute - 'I think, you suffer from Hydrophobia', is what they said, when I were tagged by the Lifeguard/instructor as
Within seconds the waves were above me, and as soon as I held the accelerator, the scooter gained much velocity, adding to that the high waves splashing against my face.
I was afraid, I'll end-up discovering a new piece of land. :-)
Adrenalin rush!! - I was shouting, wanting to reach shore soon, and pay him 100/- irrespective.
It was a whole of Kannadigas here and thus got a good bargain. So, it was again a Speed Boat, A sturdy rope and a bloated Banana. We had 2 instructors/lifeguards, whom we thought were never required. The speed boat had a navigator and a young couple enjoying their vacation.
Being sure I would get drowned, everything from family, near-n-dear-ones, LIC policies, Coffin to Condolence-card made a quick allocation in my mind. :-)
We were instructed to keep legs straight and hands-straight-up. Aaaah.... my sense organs were still working and I were alive. And courtesy life-jacket, our heads were above the water surface in the next few seconds.
I quickly took a count of all heads, like a School teacher at Picnic with her Pupils. The count was complete, none were missing. The Speed boat floated the Banana towards us, and we clinged onto it.
Now we were to climb onto it back, much more challenging, as it kept wobbling. Finally we did, courtesy life-jacket and life-guard. We thanked the instructors for saving lives. Within minutes, he shouted 'get ready for another dip'.
And the 3rd/last dip was near to the shore, and we were brave enough, by now.
Each of us had gifted the sea a piece of Jewelery (non gold), but then, we were alive and it was entirely soul satisfying!! Hugs and pats....
The entire evening went discussing the ride, while we aptly spotted this at the YHAI reception. :-)
