WOW! Sunday January 4th was a frickin blast!
So here's the story. Saturday I was originally supposed to go boating with my brother and his friends, but he said you know what, bring your friends tomorrow (sunday). I called some people up and they were down to go. Great. I wasn't really expecting much of the boat trip. The last time I went on a boat was the "Catalina Express" for senior ditch day in high school. Plus my aunt told me the boat looked like the fishing boat in Finding Nemo, small and dinky.
However, my friend Afsha was all stoked to go...which in turn made me somewhat happy to go, cuz at least someone was happy to go boating...
BTW, Saturday's weather was helllllla windy. Yes, I said hella and ain't from up north.=P
So we head out to Newport Beach, Cali. Awesome day, the day before was hellllllla windy, and it turns out...our day was...perrrrrrfect. Slight breeze and everything perfect.
About 8 friends of mine came along...ahhh....we got the boat ready, got ice, water, raised the protective plastic windows and we were on our way. AYE MATEY!
Out of Newport Beach Harbor we travelled. Deephu acted gay of course...jusss kidding, but he was drinking lots of cock....i mean coke....
Right when we got out of the harbor, my bro told us to hold on to something and we are off! blasting through waters for 20 seconds..then he calmed down...in between all this on our way to Dana Point we were living it up...eating chips and blasting the muzak while taking in the breathtaking view. My friends' gf sister even got to drive the boat for a little bit.
I got my chance in the middle to man the ship. ARRRR being the first mate and all. I took us through the dangerous waters of seaweed and to Dana Point Harbor. What a trip. I truly felt like Gilligan...woohooo gee skipper what next!
So we pulled in the port thinking we might find a nice picnic area so we could eat. Nothing. So we decided to take the boat back out and anchor it near the beach and eat our lunch. We did so...and I actually got to lower an ANCHOR in the ocean! How phat is that?! It went farrrr too!
The hard part was when we finished and we were trying to pull it up. Bakshi and I had to coordinate our timings to pull the anchor up together. Heave ho heave ho...and we did it....now we gotta put it away....
As we were putting it away...danger struck us....(enter danger music) the boat was moving towards the beach....immediately the first mate (that's me) shouted to the capn. to reverse at full speeed!!!!! err...ok so I just raised my voice a little and mentioned to my bro we should back up a little....geeez...sue me...
After backing up we turned to head back to Newport Beach. In the process Bakshi, Deephu, I were trying to figure out how to make the anchor fit back in its place. For 10 minutes while the boat is rockin up and down at 20 knots im at the edge scared of falling off...it was AWESOME! Finally we did it! Good team effort...i got some battle scares to prove it...
After that the three of us strapped ourselves to the front of the boat and we raced back to Newport while admiring the sunset. What a gorgeous evening! As we were holding on for dear life the waves hit the boat in the fron and we all got soaked! KILLER! We finally hit the harbor and we slowed to cruising and it was awesome again...all the lights from the boats and the moonlight was ....just.....wow....won't forget it for sure. After that we all went home and just dreamt of the day that just happened..... ahhhh sigh.....
