..my only concern when launching for the first time (yes I was walking backward) was that the tube would "squirt" out from under me much like a prankster would pull a chair away as you are sitting down.. once I successfully completed that I was feeling okay..
but.. a morning on the water.. being tired from that.. and not thinking I had a little more trouble getting back to shore.. getting out of the tube was not the problem.. it was walking .. or should I say. .trying to walk the rest of the way in..
.. even though tn2 and dr tried to help.. they were hampered in doing this by the amount of laughing they were doing at the time.. and like you said.. is best to laugh at yourself.. live and learn from the mistake.. than to get upset over getting a little bit wet..
Ill never forget the memories of that first time in a tube.. and hopefully I can pass these stories on to my grandchildren in the future..
