It was a bright and sunny day and the time of year when we went to Shelbyville. This year my parents decided that I could take a friend so I chose Thomas Cahill. We picked up Thomas, got into the car, and started driving down to Lake Shelbyville. We had a boisterous ride down talking, laughing, listening to music, and planning what affairs we would do. “I can’t wait to go boating,” said Thomas, “Me too,” I said. When we finally got there we were ready to go. Anxiously we blew up the new tube and we were ready for the next day of boating.
The next morning we jumped out of the tents and sped over to the car to go to the lake. When we got out on the lake we swam first. After that we skied and wake-boarded. Then it was about time to try out the …show more content…
The tube didn’t even go off the wake which was a rare occurrence on the old tube, but we had to test it out a little before we went hard. Thomas and I were feeling the tube out and testing different ways to hold the handles so that when we went hard we would be able to stay on, HOPEFULLY. We stopped for a second and my Dad said, “So do you like it? Does it work good?” We gave him a thumbs up and told him we were ready to go hard. Or, so we thought we were.
We said “hit it” and we were off. Speeding by much, much faster than we were previously going. It was exhilarating. We were flying off the wake and hanging on for dear life and that was our idea of fun. Thomas and I were laughing and smiling. It was all fun and games out there, but there was one thing we hadn’t done yet on our new tube, The Whiplash. The Whiplash is where my dad does a full circle with the boat and it flings us very hard. That was the thing that had popped our old tube.
Then it happened, it was almost as if we could feel it coming before it happened, The Whiplash. The boat started to turn at an extremely sharp angle and that proved our suspicions true, it was coming. Soon after the tube started following. It was almost as if time had slowed down. As we lifted off the right wave something was different with this new tube, but Thomas and I did not have the time to think about
