Sometimes, you think you know what you're getting yourself into. Or at least, that you have a pretty good idea. And so, you get yourself ready, get any necessary gear together, wear the right clothing for whatever thing you're trying to do, and you head out.
And then, sometimes, it turns into something more than what you expected. That's kind of what happened to me last month, when I had the chance to try riding a pack of Sea-Doo PWCs for the first time ever. As I relate in that long-form piece, I had one main thought lodged firmly in my brain as my sandals quietly slapped my feet while walking toward the dock that morning: Sea scooter.
