hey.. it wasnt that bad.. LOL>.
okay.. short version.. (I hope)
after at least 6 attempts to hook up with TN2 to go float tubing for the first time we finally did on Laguna Niguel lake in OC.. beautiful small lake.. calm water.. and after getting over the initial apprehension of floating on an inner tube (what I had in my mind) I relaxed and enjoyed moving all over the place.. learning to use my flippers . steer.. etc..
it was a great day of trying to catch fish (I got skunked).. and four hours of floating on the water we decided to go in to shore..
TN2 led the way in and reminded me to come into shore backwards.. then stand up and, I quote "walk into shore"...
soooooo I listened and did as I was told.. but in the back of my head was "walk into shore"...
so I kick into shallow enough water to stand up.. about 10 feet from shore.. I stand up.. pick up my rods.. and grab the edge of the tube with the intent of pushing it in ahead of me.. mind you.. I said ahead of me ..
I turn to shore.. start pushing the tube ahead of me and start "walking to shore".. the first few steps were okay in the deeper water.. but as I got shallow.. well.. lets say DR description is pretty accurate.. LOL>. I fell three times.. got a little wet.. cussing up a storm.. and then heard either TN2 or DR say.. turn around.. BACK IN..
I did.. back in the last few feet.. I think slipped one more time without damage to anything but dignity.. and made it to shore..
.. and that mi amigos and amigas.. is how it happened.. (or at least that is my story and Im sticking to it.. [
