It was a hot and sunny Friday afternoon, and I saw a car on the road in the far distance slowly getting bigger. As the car pulled up, Sean hopped out of the car. I told him that we were going to go on my families boat tomorrow, and go to Martha’s Vineyard. He and I were really excited, and we patiently awaited the next day. We woke up at about 8:00 am, and we started packing a bunch of items. Sunscreen, buckets, shovels, a tube, etc. We drove up to the dock, and started packing the things onto the boat, and before we even had the time to put on sunscreen, we were pulling out of the dock at 9:30 am. My sisters were there too, and it was pretty hard to ignore them (especially Joss) but we did our best at not getting involved with my sisters drama. It was a super windy day, which means the waves once we get out of the channel would be huge. Sean didn’t know that of course, so I told him. The front of the boat is always super bouncy on the waves, so Sean and I sat up there. Sean wasn’t expecting much, but when literally the rest of the people on the boat were to scared to even sit in the middle, Sean knew he was in for something much bigger. We had such a great time sitting on the front as the waves bounced us ten feet in the air every five seconds. We were exhausted once we slowed down and arrived at the beach, but it was one hell of a good time. We hung out on the beach for a couple hours, making sandcastles, catching minnows, swimming far off the shore, until my dad asked if we wanted to go tubing. Sean was a bit skeptical, but I told him it would be super fun. Since the beach was basically a circle with a lake in the middle (with a small entrance) there were no waves at all. This made us able to go over 40 miles per hour. As we were whipped across our own wake multiple times. The ride back from the beach was even wavier, which was again super fun. By the end of the day, we were super tired.

     I thought back on the experience on the next day, and I realized that even though I might be more risk taking than Sean, we still had a great time.

     Having a long and fun day with a friend is always really fun, so don’t waste even a second of it.
