"Launch" site is near the upper trailhead of the Burma Road trail at the Protuguese Bend Reserve. We walked a narrow path off the main trail to see the view and lucked out to find a parasailer ready to take-off. With a sublte whoosh sound, the sail filled and he was off. I didn't realize how much gear they carried on their back, sort of like a turtle shell.
Long Point can be seen in the distance, where Marineland was once located and is now being developed as a huge resort.See some fabulous skies from around the world at SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

That looks great, but I don't think I would ever want to get that high off the ground with just a thin piece of cloth holding me up. Have a great weekend and Happy Easter.
Wow! What a gorgeous view of the parasailor and he must have had equally spectacular views from way up there in the sky...
Fabulous sky!
Wonderful picture.In fact I would like to try it someday! Who knows! :-)
Happy Easter dear Natasha!
God bless you all

I was expecting you to say that was your son
What fantastic shots! Beautiful sky and what fun that would be, good for you! Wow! Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful shots! Exciting! Wish I was there.
How very fun this looks! Your last photo is spectacular with those yellow wildflowers in the foreground!
Up, up, and away! That looks delightful! Great shots.
That looks like so much fun. For other people. I'll be happy to watch.
How fabulous to stumble on such a different skywatch! And to learn something!
Ohh, yes! I would like to try this one day :) Cool :)
I'd love to do this, but clumsy as I am I'd be sure to hit a power cable. Fabulous iamge.
Two for the price of one! Super skywatch photos :)
I would enjoy doing this with my camera. Imagine the shots from way up there. Of course it's quite high. I'm not afraid of heights, its the gravity that worried me.
Nice shots , my husband practices this sport , a little dangerous sometimes ...but great fun !
loved the title :)
I was in a Sierra Madre park once, and a hang glider appeared in the sky, seemingly out of nowhere, and landed close by. He offered to take me up, but I declined.
What a gorgeous capture of all the beautiful blue. Those people are so much braver than me!

Cool photos Tash! (the mustard looks pretty too)
I see them up there when I drive by, and I think NO WAY would I ever try that.

It's pretty cool that there was an S on the sail. Maybe next time SWF!!! I photographed kite boarders just the other day and they were having so much fun. I went parasailing once and think I'll have to do it agains one day soon. Happy SWF!
