Tubing In The WInd
Tubing in the wind.
I used to be terrified of tubing I got over that fear tho.
All of a sudden that fear came back.
Sunshine warmed the top of my skin.
You could see the sun glooming from between the clouds.
Seemed like a perfect day to tube on the River Bayou.
I decided to ask if I could go and I got a yes.
I got on the tube then the speed boat started going.
It felt it like it was going full blast.
It was way to windy to be going tubing.
It might have seemed nice and warm out, but not when getting pulled by a speed boat.
You could see the waves moving the tube side to side.
This is when the fear came back.
I could feel my stomach turn.
When the tube went up in the air and flipped.
I landed on the water so hard it knocked the wind out of me.
When I came up from the water, I had a bunch of water in my nose.
I decided to try again.
I tried again the tube did the same thing.
When the wind started blowing.
The tube flipped again.
The same thing happened.
Crash, Band, Ugh, I got the wind knocked out of me again.
Finally I decided I was going to be done tubing.
When it is windy out.
I learned to not go tubing when it is windy out.
A tube in the wind is like a car with no seatbelt - dangerous.
