Sunday November 3


                                                        
Caroline in the clouds
    Barb and Caroline wanted to try Parasailing so they signed up for a flight.  Because of low winds they had to be transported to an small island offshore.  I went along as the official photographer.   Because the winds were tricky the crew would not let them fly together and the instructor insisted on going with each of the girls.  While we were on the island another group was there for parasailing as well.  I watched the other couple.  He was first and I didn’t see him take off, but his landing was a solid face plant into the sand.   The girl’s takeoff was pretty ugly as she got dragged 10meters on the beach and then 20 meters through the water.  Her landing was face first in the sand.  Then came Caroline, a quick 3-step takeoff and a graceful 2-step landing.  This was Barb’s second time at parasailing and her experience showed.  A one-step takeoff and a perfect one-step landing.  She aced it.

  This was our last day in Langkawi so we caught the 2:30 ferry to Penang and we are overnighting in Georgetown.  We fly to Sumatra tomorrow.
