Day 6 cont.

The plan for the last night was to set off Chinese lanterns at Ivans. Well several people brought more than enough. Should we do a practice launch? YES of course we should. Made sense especially in hindsight…all the issues with crashing and whatnot.

Somewhere in the mix, a few of us got into a little trouble. I want to say Jon started it by jumping from the railing at Ivans, closest to the cliff edge (Never try this folks). I guess me and Sandie dove in after that. Barbara told us to get our crazy selves out of the water.
No arguments.

Daisy said I tried REAL hard to convince her that now was the perfect time to get over her all her fears...she should leap right off a cliff at night into rough waters that are hiding lionfish and sea urchins. She opted out. I told her I'd protect her lolol
Anyways I'm guessing that's what's going on in this pic...

Although we are all three very strong swimmers, I want to be the first to say that jumping under those conditions was stupid and I don’t recommend it. I’ve really given a lot of second thought to diving/swimming in less than ideal conditions, since the most recent tragedies at Catcha Falling Star. Please always exercise extreme caution when jumping the cliffs on the west end.
