Silver Bay :: Sailing/Memories

The last bit of vacation photos that I have from Silver Bay are from a sail that Matt, my father-in-law and I took out to Diver's Rock. The large picture, on the right hand side, is Slim Point, from a distance, which is where Matt and I were married.

Preparation for the infamous 25 foot dive off of Diver's Rock. I love the look of sheer terror on my face!



This is what a chest flop looks like. My sternum was sensitive to the touch for days. Needless to say, my subsequent jumps were all feet first!



Matt jumped off of "Suicide" which is something like 45 feet above the water. There are no pictures, because he made me watch from the water. I didn't go up to see where he jumped, but apparently from where you have to take off, you see nothing but trees sticking out of the rock below you. When you jump, you (hopefully) clear said trees and plunge 45 feet to the water. Watching my hubby do this was like watching an action hero diving out of an exploding building in a movie. I say, no thank you!




That was the end of our sail, but in addition to the leap that I took above there was another first on this vacation. I went to my first drive-in movie EVER! Double feature, Batman and Hancock. Batman was the better of the two, and I loved it! Heath Ledger is simultaneously terrifying and darkly funny as the Joker. It is such a shame that such a talented guy died so young! On a lighter note, or maybe heavier in caloric terms, I also had my first funnel cake at the drive in. It was seriously the size of a birthday cake, it filled an entire paper plate. I must say, my taste buds approved!

That's all I've got for Silver Bay 2008. Now hopefully New England can buck up and give me a couple more sunny summer days to blog about! It's been rain central here ever since I returned! I've got some fun thrifty finds to blog about soon.

Until then, cheers, S
