After 5 years of being dragged behind the Hunsaker boat with little progress, I can now waterski! Twice I've been up "long enough to earn the merit badge". I have a great fear of water, I get cold very eaily, and I'm not the best swimmer, but my courageous husband put up with me long enough to teach me to ski. And I only cussed half as much as when he made me learn to snow ski! (I'm wearing a "dry-suit" which keeps me warmer and more bouyant...you wear your regular clothes inside it, and you shouldn't pee to warm yourself up like you could in a wet-suit)

HAHAHAHAHA! I spluttered and guffawed when you said you shouldn't pee inside it! :D That means I laughed REALLY hard! You're my hero!
That is one huge elastic band around the ends of the skis! And the skis are really wide.....were they thinner in 'the olden days' or is it just my imagination, since I've never really seen any up close? Way to be a water skeer!
Good job, Ang! I'm really proud of you. Good job to Paul, too, for teaching you. Good hubby.
I'm proud of you, Angela! For me, it would be "total immersion" only!
