Grant’s Parasailing Adventure
Teresa (of all people) suggests we check out the
parasailing.
Grant wants to go up!
We talk it over and decide that I will go up the mountain
with Grant and watch the take-off. Teresa and Georgia will go to the
landing zone at the bottom of the mountain and watch the landing. Grant
and I go to the top of the mountain by gondola. However the winds were
very poor. Our pilot Brad did not feel the conditions were good enough to
take off. However, two pilots did. The first one fell down and the
passenger crashed into the ground. After dragging for a while, they got
up and barely cleared the trees! We found out later that the passenger
fractured her knee and tore her meniscus L The second pilot crashed into ground on take
off with his passenger and did not get off. Boy was he
embarrassed!! Brad wisely cancelled the flight.
There were not any slots open the next day to fly but Teresa
was able to convince Brad to find time for Grant! The next day the
conditions were absolutely perfect and Grant launched off the mountain!
Grant and Brad get ready for the flight.
