OMG - what a wonderful adventure, and one I wouldn't flinch about taking. Like you Deb, coming up on my 7th decade cautions me about horseback riding, something I've never done, but still long to do. I'm in good health, and want to keep it that way, so I steer clear of potential broken bones. But water activities - I'm "In Like Flint". And I guess by that particular reference, you know that I definitely remember "Flipper", Bud, Sandy, and the whole gang (which really only leaves the dad). Thanks for an invigorating story girl :-)
