The Memory


The Memory

This the boat we took to the island in Mazatlan. I went with my cousin´s girlfriend´s brothers. The one who ran the boat jumped in the water, and I followed while we were a good mile a way from the island. We had fun jumping, diving etc. When the boat started taking off with the wind. I´m waving to his brother who is on the boat. Both of us not really understanding the danger that was happening. Meanwhile, the other bro was yelling stop, no! Off the boat goes, and here we are in the middle of the ocean. and one life vest between us. He gets the vest, because his muscles are giving out and I start swimming towards the island. We manage to yell loud enough for some boys on kayaks to hear us, and they come and get the bro, while continue swimming towards the boat, where I manage to get the attention of an American woman who after hearing me yell Ayudame! Says Como te llamas. Well eventually a motor boat picked me up and we got Estaban and went to look for his brother. Everything ended up okay and we were grateful Chuy didn´t crash into some rocks or perish!

Wow! What an adventure. I appreciate your descriptions and your photos are lovely - so expressive and original. I wonder how you choose them - probably from so many. Very good, Brandy!
