Jetskiing Part 3

I awakened to my alarm going off early in the morning feeling a little hung over from Mandy Tannen's 40th birthday dance party the night before. I lay there confused for a moment, why am I up this early? Then I remembered that I was heading out to Sheepshead Bay with Grant and his new beau Rachel to ride jetskis!

So neat that you can just be floating around just offshore.

Taking a break passing Coney Island on the way back! Our arms were so sore after more than two-hours on the jetski.
