Parasailing

I had an employee once who was an avid skydiver. He was apparently quite accomplished, a fact which he attempted to show off to celebrate his 40th birthday by doing a fancy landing. He bungled it and ended up in the hospital for a month. I regret that I never learned to fly a plane, but I never really had a great desire to sky dive, I think today was the closest I'll get.

Parasailing always looked like fun and it is. It all seems routine when you're doing it. You get strapped to a parachute, the boat starts moving forward and instead of moving forward you go back and up. It's almost startling smooth and quiet. I went with one of my kids. It's always nice to have company when you're floating a couple of hundred feet in the air. Eventually they reel you back in and you land on your butt on the boat. Highly recommended if you're not afraid of heights.
