Lynseys Version of the 'ocean extreme' trip

I feel i need to add some points to matt's version of the 'ocean extreme' trip.
Firstly - matt is currently sporting a very red face at the moment, this is because he didnt think to put on any suntan lotion on before setting off on our little trip! He failed to remeber that being on board a boat means the suns rays are amplified even if the trip is only 45 mins long (please note he did have a sniger at the one of the crews panda eyes created by him wearing sun glasses all the time) Matt failed to apply the suntan lotion because when we set off it was overcast, although i've been applying it every day come rain or shine - it is summer time in Australia! Anyway he now says its all my fault because i didnt remind him to put it on, dont worry i have kept reminding him that he is 29 and i am not his mother.
Secondly - I spent most of my holidays @ abersoch, which for any one who doesnt know is on the coast in Wales, where we had a speed boat which we frequently went out on skiing and such like. Well because of these may years of being on the water i had an understanding of what was going to occur on our trip and what to look out for. When we set out they had to go quite slowly because we were still in the harbour but soon we were in open water for the skipper to open it up to full throttle, i assumed that the first thing skipper would be looking for would be the wake of a large boat or some great swell in the water.
At first we were just skipping over some small waves then i saw the skipper head for the wake of a rather large pleasure boat, at which point i turned round to matt and shouted 'get ready for this'! he just gave me a puzzled look then......... bounce bounce bounce, obviously i had braced my self for the bumps but matt hadnt. The look on his face was brilliant! (though not as funny as how red faced he is=)) from there on i decided not to warm him of any further waves because it seemed useless. I'm quite gutted that we didnt actually have that much of a swell because it wasnt as fun as im sure it could have been. I was also quite upset that i didnt appear to get as wet as matt, however as you can see from the picture below i had some big guy in front of me so i think he took all my water!
