Another goal accomplished

My friend, Paige has a grandfather who owns a lakehouse and every summer her grandparents go out of down and leave Paige in charge of the house. Since yesterday was Paige's last day of staying at a lakehouse, Bevyn and I went to visit. Nice adventure.

I have always wanted to swim across Lake Travis(which is where the lakehouse is). After Paige and I discussed it, Bevyn went ahead and swam across the lake. I finished my drink and then followed. However, since I was never in swim team, took me a bit longer... like 30-45 minutes? It was a nice swim except for the huge waves I had to swim against;I kept choking on water. What was even more fun were the boats that would speed by, creating more waves. So eventually I made it to the other side. I searched for Bevyn but failed, so I just chilled along the rocks for a while and played in the sand. I saw Danny's sailboat go by the lake a few times but never towards me. "I guess they're not picking me up." I headed back to the otherside of the lake, another long swim. A few boats pass, only one asking if I was okay. I continue swimming, chokin' from the waves. The last boat turned around and commanded me to get onto their boat, since they almost ran me over thinking I was a fish. I get on. In the distance they saw 2 people on a sailboat waving them down. The boat went to pick them up and it happens to be Bevyn and Danny, the sail boat rutter broke in half.

The three of us return from a rescue mission of the boat to the dock with Paige, her mother, and Joseph cheering.
