snorkeling...

mishelmeis · 09-07-2010, 11:01 PM

thanks for all the snorkeling info! i'm sure i'll be looking it up again in the spring!

as for the swimming, please realize that yes, some of us are just stupid! we don't mean to be...

we have always spent our lake time in ponds - ledge pond over in sunapee, cobbett's pond in windham, kanasatka, etc. we have exactly NO EXPERIENCE on the big lake, and we find ourselves just being blown away by the learning curve!

(are those waves or chop???)

(holy cow, is it always this windy here??? hey, hon, why didn't we buy a place on cow island and do a whole cow themed house??? wouldn't that be just the coolest thing EVER?)

(what are those things sticking out made of rocks? breakwaters? do people think they are pretty or something?)

(did i mention that we were not boaters previously?)

i tell my neighbor at the lake to smack me whenever i'm doing something just downright dumb b/c sometimes i really just don't realize it! (OMG, do NOT feed the ducks - EVER! but look, we have extra slingshots and lots of rocks...)

we have quickly realized that in order to learn quickly, watching our neighbors around the island and the lake is the best way. there's a reason for most of the things they do!

maybe we need a thread along the lines of "the dumb things i learned not to do at the lake!"
