Near Death Experience
Almost died this weekend.. not an exaggeration.. at all..
Saturday we went out on the boat.. beautiful day, the waters in the bay were amazing.. so my uncle decided to go out into the ocean because they couldnt have been that bad.. as we are approaching the cut where the ocean and bay meet, he notices that the waves are not that bad.. WRONG... we head out, and the waves become tremendous.. suddenly huge waves are coming INTO the boat ((this is NO small boat.. its a 37 footer and VERY TALL)).. wave after wave and the boat is jumping.. i cannot hold on,neither can my cousin.. we are falling all over the place while hitting the sides and floor of the boat.. my aunt was drowing in the waves that were hitting her head on..my baby cousin was crying, while getting drenched as well.. my cousins trying to help keep the baby from getting water were also falling.. my uncle (the captain) fell, attempted to regain his footing to get us out of this mess.. all this happened in about 1 min an half, but it seemed like a lifetime.. and for sure we thought we were done, but by some miracle we survived it.. it was strange.. like something out of the movie a Perfect Storm...except the day was beautiful.. i dont know how anyone didnt get severely hurt, we all manage to get out of there with minor bruising.. and me with a jammed thumb... but we made it and thats what counts..
that was my excitement for the weekend, hell i think thats ENOUGH for one weekend..
