This was my dd's(16 and 12) first time up parasailing. They were really excited and I think a bit nervous too. Sammy Duvalls were excellent and the ride was great. I went on the boat with them and another couple that would be parasailing too. My girls went first riding tandem and absolutely loved it ! They never got wet and just gently "floated" off the back of the boat and were gently reeled in after about 10 minutes of being up about 400 plus feet. The funny thing (well maybe not so funny) is that my youngest dd told us that when she came down that she thought she saw something in the water. The other couple went up meanwhile and the captain of the boat suddenly slowed down the boat and told us "Look an alligator !" This thing was HUGE ! He said anywhere betrween 8-12 feet ! He slowed the boat down so it timed with the poor guy up parasailing and it dropped him about 10-20 feet above the alligator ! The driver speed up the boat again which lifted the parasailer back up. When his time was up they reeled him back in and he was laughing like crazy. Thought it was one of the greatest experiences hes ever had (He was in his mid 60's!) Im glad my girls went first !
