As I looked out at the gorgeous light blue Caribbean Sea I saw a large white boat in the distance with a rope connected to a parachute sailing over it with multiple people in the boat. My family and I were standing on the pure white Dominican Republic sand waiting for our turn to take the dinghy out and meet the parasail boat for our first experience parasailing ever. The sky was as clear and blue as could be, with absolutely no clouds and the sun beaming on each and every one of the vacationers on the beach. The beach and pool area at the Melia Caribe Tropical Resort was extremely dense with people vacationing from all over the world. My parents and I were actually talking about how diverse the population was with people from Spain, France,

My parents and I hopped in the boat as the captain instructed us to do, and we sat tight next to each other as there were approximately 12 other parasailers on the boat with us. When we arrived to the parasail boat there were many other vacationers onboard that had just finished their ride and were now waiting to get back to shore. We exchanged positions one at a time as it was unstable with the water as a hindrance to controlled movement.

It was completely breath taking. We saw all of the other resorts down the beach as far as our eyes could see. The beach was so dense with people and the clear blue sky matching with the clear blue ocean was exhilarating. The sand was perfectly white and all of the palm trees in the distance provided a perfect layout of vegetation. After the driver gave us a few minutes to view the island in a circle he took us for a run down the beach. He started by pulling back the throttle and we started descending almost immediately. Then at the very last second he throttled the engine up and cranked that powerhouse. We fell for a couple more seconds and as soon as our feet touched the water, we starting ascending again. He timed it perfectly. Next he started driving side to side to make us sway in the air. We enjoyed the ride to the fullest extent possible and after about five more minutes of taking in all of it we started to make our final descent. We discussed how great the ride was on our way back down and when we landed on the parasailing platform we all looked at each other and smiled as we knew we just had one of the best experiences of our lives. I don’t think very many people can say that they have parasailed over the Caribbean Sea and the coast of the Dominican Republic, and I knew I was very lucky to say that I have done
