It’s time for a rest day, and as it’s been almost a year since we visited Brent and Martina, there we went.  And there we found this GIANT bug.

Find out more about the life of a Polyphemus Moth if you’re interested.  I did. 

Jake thought it was pretty cool too, but I think he liked driving the boat even more.

I enjoyed going for a pull on the board too. Strangely, this is the first wakeboard sesh I’ve had since moving up here.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pic of the craziest part of the day.  I had just gotten up and was figuring out the board when I noticed that I was riding through grass.  Yo Brent, eyes forward, eh?  I have to give him credit, he was pretty quick on raising the leg on the boat.  By the time we hit the sand bar I was riding on a roost of mud.  I could actually feel rocks hitting the bottom of the board.  The boat stopped pretty fast, and I came to a stop in something less than knee deep water, about 15 feet from the back of the boat.

No harm done, we pushed off and I got another pull in (and we almost did it again.  Some guys never learn…).

I’m not a very good wake boarder though.  Martina killed me.

Brent too.  HA!  OK, he’s actually really good.

See?

Chevy liked it too.  Although she still cries when people wipe out.  She’s gonna have to outgrow that one soon.

There we go Elton.  The world through rose coloured glasses…
