A North American family's adventures living in Tasmania.
Well I am tan and relaxed after a three week trip to California. We went to a camp in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Here is a pic of my 7 yr old learning to water ski. It has come a long way since the days when I learned how to water ski. We had to use a rope. The bar seen here makes it much easier to get up. How cool is that???

North American Family on the an adventure of a lifetime. We moved from BC Canada to Tasmania six years ago with two kids and hubby who worked in the salmon farming industry. We have loved every moment but our nomadic tendencies have called. We are going bush. Inside are the adventures of our year caravaning around Australia. We want to see it all!

I understand boats to day are equipped with that initiation-bar, originally designed for barefooted skiing, but now used universally for those beginning. Skiing with that bar as you say I guess is much easier than with a rope and also allows for communication by the instructors. They can correct any possible errors but with a mom who used to do stunts, your daughter probably has a "natural" talent ! Wonderful photo and welcome back to Tassie.
Best wishes
Welcome home!
Hi Wendy, welcome! I am so glad you are back to the blogsphere!
Great picture, sounds she had a fun time!
Thank you for your visiting and compliment about my Burrowing Owl!
Have a good Sunday!
Way to go J! She looks so confident! Did C try too?
That way my comment. It came up anonymous.
Sandy,
Mr C couldn't pass the lake swim test. He still too young...but next year.
FYI the ski instructor was a canuck from Onterio hoping to move back to BC. The boat driver was a Aussie from Perth.
Welcome back. Missed you and can't wait to see some of your pics. Hope you had a great time with your family, as I'm sure you did.
Yes, waterskiing has come along way since I started. This looks way easier and gets their confidence up.
Probably most didn't ski back then, as it was too frustrating to get up.
Look forward to more of your pics.
take care
Hi Wendy,
I am pleased you are back. I missed my Tassie fix!!
What great fun for your daughter. I bet she had a blast.

Welcome back, kiddo!
I've seen those bars for people learning how to water ski. Sort of like the guards they put in the bowling alley gutters now for kids. I could have used those when I learnt how to ski and bowl.
I can just imagine your daughter's thrill.
Welcome back :)
What a fun trip you had. That bar looks like it wold be a lot easier to learn - she looks like a pro already!
What fun! I can remember how hard it was to get up, but once you did...weeee! She must've had a ball! Glad you had a lovely vacation and are now back to tell us all about it and show us some wonderful pictures (I hope). Were you in CA during the heatwave?
welcome back!
