So houseboating trip this coming weekend!! This should be a rediculous party. I really don't know what to expect. People keep telling me its insane. I think i'm going to need an IV for the following week or two.
Anyone have any houseboating stories they care to share? maybe some advice?

Completely unrelated...did a little cliff jumping...or i should say jump. I only went once. It was a crzy beautiful spot in north van. Hopefully murf send me some pics so i can post a couple. The jumping spots there ranged from 20 ft to over 80 ft. I did the 30 ft'er. It was deceivingly high. The biggest shock was hitting the freezing cold water! That water was ice cold! It is quite the shock to the system. Might go back tomorrow, depending on how brave i'm feeling.
I've never been a huge fan of heights, its not as though i'm phobically afraid of them, but they definitly bother me. So it was quite a rush for me jumping off that cliff today. That first initial feeling when you leave the solid ground behind you and begin your descent is beyond words. When the water hits, your whole body tenses right up. The first thought i had was ' get me the fuck out of this water now'. You actually drop down pretty deep into the water, so it takes a few seconds to get back to the top. When I came up for air, I swam as fast as i could to shore. Once you step out, you feel soooo good! its such a refreshing and liberating feeling.

The build up to facing any type of fear is always super tough to deal with, but the feeling afterwards is always worth it.
