this past february i got married in aruba.me and a freind decided to rent a 18 foot hobie cat for 8 hours that could be used throughout our time there.
i have only sailed on cats a handfull of times and we had been drinking nonstop for two days but the constant sun gave us the illusion we were sober.we went out once for a couple of hours and were content that we only flipped it once and otherwise ripped it like it was stolen.
later that afternoon after revisiting the bar for a couple of hours, the day before i got married, we decided to take it out for another couple hours.
the lady at the rental house didnt want to let us take the boat due to incresing winds but i assured her i had been sailing on hobies forever.lies.lies she believed.
we got about 1/2 mile off shore and the winds got real nasty(anyone who has sailed in aruba will know exactly what im talking about).
we were hiking the cat to the point where one pontoon was two feet out of the water for quite a while when we got hit with a gust which buried the nose of the pontoon in the water which caused it to flip nose first.
i knew we were going in so i bailed making sure the whole time i stayed with the boat.
my freind however wasnt so bright and fell into the head sail and started swimming away in a panic.
i righted the boat and looked around to find him 20 meters away and was yelling for him to get back to the boat when he yelled "dude, im swimming on top of a massive tortoise, this is crazy you have to see it, just come back for me, i want to swim with it for a bit".
so i started to try getting enough speed to come about.stupid.no matter what i tried the boat wouldnt have it.
as i got further out the winds increased and i flipped the cat again, just this time i was so exhausted i couldnt right it no matter how hard i tried.so there i was about 300 meters away from him when the rescue boat came for me.
as if i wasnt embarrased enough,a 20 year old austrailian girl jumps on the boat with me and schooled me on sailing catamarans.we sailed for a bit, got closer to shore, came about, grabbed my idiot freind who was still swimming near the turtle.
as nasty as it could have become we were both floored with how fast we had this cat going and my freind with his turtle bonding.when we got back to shore i found my whole family standing on the point with a thick look of disapointment.
my brother was the first to speak "you idiot,everyone was watching you the whole time, your such a jackass, your getting married tomorrow, whats wrong with you.
arubas best-balashi beer,thats what.
