So Kolu and Byron decided to get a smooth easy ride on the jet ski! And guess where I was at?
Yup! You see that tiny little black dot off to the right side of the picture floating in the water? Thats me!
Byron decided it would be funny to really give her some gas, so he picked up the speed on the fricken jet ski at full throttle! That sucker whipped me up and down, side to side, jumping waves and wakes and dammit...at the end of the fricken ride...I was holding on for dear life with a solid death grip and I could barely feel my body because all my muscles were so tense from holding on so tight to the stupid inflatable raft.
When we dropped anchor, Kolu and Byron were fine and dandy (No doubt! With their awesome, smooth, easy going ride), while I was disheveled, suffering from massive dizzy spells and sunburn up the wahzoo from the intense heat pounding down upon me mixed with me being purely drenched with salt water, and did I mention that you get more tanned if you have salt water all over you? Now you know why chefs tell you to put salt in a pot of water before you boil it because salt will help it to heat up and boil faster!
Well Kolu and Byron dove off into the water and saw some huge fish, massive underwater caves and corral formations that blew their minds. Kolu was deep underwater and got so pissed when he heard the sound of a quick paper-ripping or tearing sound, because thats what it sounds like after you pull the trigger on your dive gun and the rubber band releases the spear to penetrate a fish. Kolu knew immediately that Byron had gotten a shot off at a fish. Byron came up with a female fish. She was all black and had a distinctive orange stripe on the back of its tail. Byron went back down and again Kolu heard the same sound a second time and Byron came up with a second fish. This time it was a male fish. Same type of fish as the female. Byron went back down and this time Byron heard that quick sound in the water and knew Kolu had a fish on. Byron swam to the jet ski and soon after Kolu swam up to the top of the ocean and he was about 20 feet away from us. We heard Kolu laugh SO loud! Kolu was laughing and laughing and couldn't stop. He finally swam back to show us his catch of the day. Kolu's fish was 2 and a 1/2 inches long! hahaha. It was a tiny little thing but he was SO cute...and dead. (Sorry I didn't take pictures - my fingers weren't working.)
We pulled anchor and prepared to go back to shore because I told Byron that the inflatable was deflating! So I quickly strapped the spear guns, and snorkel gear to the raft and held on tight....for another death grip ride. Well this time, as we were going along I didn't really need to hold on tight because the whole raft dove under the water! So obviously I sorta let go! I started screaming at the top of my lungs for Byron to stop because he couldn't hear me! (I swear that boy needs to clean his ears!) He finally heard me and stopped. I grabbed the raft from under water and tried to help it to stay afloat. Now mind you...I am deathly afraid of being bitten by a shark. (Bitten sounds SO small... we'll say CHOMPED). I kept thinking about the movie jaws and really started to get an overly-active imagination. I knew I had to keep my legs in the water to hold the front of the raft above water because if I were to distribute my weight evenly on the raft, I'd go diving with the raft again. But I didn't want to put my legs in the water because what if a shark chomps my legs off? Then I can't walk, can't drive, can't look good next to my husband! So I begged God for a miracle and he sent me one! Kolu! He switched places with me so I could go on the jet ski.
The ride back was great!
