wild boating trip!

I was having the runs for several days in a row starting Friday and Saturday was no different when i got a call out of the blue around 2 pm from my friend Angel. he told me that he and his son Louis (who is in his 20s and single) was pullin the boat out for a run and i should come along. after running to the bathroom one more time i decided to heck with it and took off. it was getting late but oh well, better than frying in the middle-of-the-day sun. i got to the harbor about a quarter after 4.
we went out boating and it started out slow but once we got out there, Angel wanted to run the boat and (learn how to) take it for a fast spin. so off we went, flying off the waves!! holy cow my heart started beating! then he wanted me to try it, so he tied me to the front of the boat (I did not like this) but went along, then i started steering. it was going nice and slow while Louis wanted to fish. but Angel was on some steroids that day for his colitis so he was all RAMBUNCTIOUS and started pushing my hand down on the throttle. we were waaay out in the ocean in the deep waters by then and the waves were higher and thicker, we started bumping off the waves more and flying off them. i was getting nervous but at the same time it was thrilling! he was pushing my hand down harder and harder as i tried to hold the steering steady, then we hit a very high wave and it flipped us to the right and then up in the air and all the way to the left side ways. all i saw was Angels feet in the air heard a crash, and saw the sky. i thought we were gonna land UPSIDE DOWN!!!  but we actually landed back on right side up.
all the things in the boat (coolers, fishing gear, back packs, etc) came crashing to where we were on our side. i was tied to rope so there wasn't much for me to go anywhere but dangle. once i looked around i realized that Angel and i had gone through the left windshield. i was pissed. there was glass EVERYWHERE. and i mean the entire boat was COVERED in it. it was ALL OVER me. shards of it in my suit, all over my back, in my feet, just covering my body. but i was very very lucky that i only had a few cuts here and there. i was covered in bruises, tho', and the rope left a bruise around my waste.
what made me even more mad was the fact that i let him tie me in like that. if the boat had flipped completely over, i would have been stuck under it! i told him next time we go boating, never tie anyone in like that again! i'd rather be flown out of the boat and live! Angel had much more cuts that were deeper than mine. his whole arm went through the glass.i felt kinda guilty bcuz, i too wanted to go fast.... just not THAT fast!
anyways, the boating trip in the end was a total blast! i would definitely go again! Louis was apologizing to me over and over. i told him i have been through much worse situations than that, so don't worry. lol. and it seems that Louis has a huge crush on me now....
Sunday i still had the runs.... :(   Monday morning too. then i had to take mom to her appt to get the cast off. once again, the doc wasn't comfortable with her ankle being cast free, so he put a new one back on and said to come back in 4 weeks to see how she is doing. she's bummed out.
ok that's all for now.....
take care my friends and sorry for the long journal entry! God bless!

Wow, what an adverture! I would have been really scared to death! Thankfully, other than some cuts and bruises, everyone was fine.

Sorry that your mom still needs the cast...that is a bummer.

Glad that you had some fun :)

I am not that adventurous, couldn\'t have done it.
Don\'t like taking chances, you are lucky everything turned out okay. Think of safety first next time, its not worth getting hurt.

I\'ve had many dreams that were like that but to think of you out there for real is mind-boggling...
Poor mom..
