I joined the “First Jump Club”!!!
June 30, 2006 marked my first skydiving experience in Washington Wine Country… I’m just glad it was a tandem jump! Words can’t express the anticipation, fear, leaving the plane (that was the worst), the rush of air and then free falling 8,000 feet in 60 seconds… believe me, you don’t feel like you’re falling. (I do have a fear of heights and have a tendency to want to… “you know”, so I stopped all fluid intake at midnight)
After the parachute opens and jerks you upward the beauty and the absolute quiet is spell binding. Another 5-7 minutes floating the remaining 5,000 feet to your target and we just tapped down and walked toward cheering friends.
