This morning I woke up ready to go sky diving and hoping the weather would be nice. When I went outside to meet our shuttle it was still dark out and a sprinkling a little but I was sure it would clear up. We all got in the shuttle and headed back to the airfield. When we got there we all signed up and waited in turns to go up and jump. Three planes went up and everyone jumped then it was our turn.
We had all started writing things on our hands for our pictures in sharpee and it was finally our turn to jump. I gave one of the girls my video camera and asked her to take a video of me landing. I first met my tandem Masters’ his name was Johnny and then my photographer Farmer who I had met yesterday and had asked us to go to the beach with him and a few of the guys but we didn’t have any of our things. He was a real smart ass but a pretty funny guy. Johnny was really laid back and nice he has done around 10,000 jumps and had already jumped once this morning. Johnny taught me what I was supposed to do when we jumped and we did one practice. We were then ready to get in the plane!!! We all climbed in and sat down in one big group there was the five of us girls and then each of our tandem guys and then a few photographers. One of the girls guys was barefoot, I asked Johnny if that was a good idea, He said I wouldn’t do it but he does that all the time. The whole way up I just kept looking at how pretty the island was and how blue the water was. We kept rising until we reached 15,000 ft the place we were going to jump from out over the water. Farmer kept asking if I was nervous and I said no but he said he was. He then kept opening the door which we were sitting right at and hanging out to take a few pictures then asking again if I was nervous, I still wasn’t. I wasn’t nervous at all. I looked down and noticed Johnny and few of the guys had what looked like an air pressure device or something and noticed Farmer didn’t have one. I asked why not and he said it was a fun meter and he didn’t have fun. I then said you’re going to need to be a little more excited if you’re going to be jumping with us and taking my pictures. Johnny then strapped me to his harness and we were getting ready to go. Farmer opened the door and I looked at him and said “I guess I’m a little nervous now!” The next thing I know my feet were dangling from the plane Johnny pushed us out and we did a few rolls. I was so excited I screamed a little and then just started laughing. I was looking all around at the water the island and enjoying the free fall. I then looked up and Farmer took a few photos. Johnny then spun us around quickly a few times which was such a rush. Farmer came by one more time to take few more pictures. After about what felt like a minute Johnny pulled the shoot and we slowed down. He showed me
After that we all paid and headed back to the ship. I made it back in time to meet up with Dylan and the girls before they left for the beach. I ran up and got ready for the beach. We took the bus to
