Fast Tubing and Slow Tubing

We observe lots of tubing when we're living the cottage life, but I don't tube as you are probably imagining tubing. When one of my swimsuits died when I went skidding across the water, I called it quits. Yes, that was ten years ago already (thanks Dad!), but seriously...finding a great bathing suit is no easy task.
When the water is warm enough though as it has been, we sometimes do what we call "Slow Tubing." And I have to document that at least on this lake, this family invented it and we now have lots of copy-caters. This lake has fast boating stop at 7:30 pm. On these warm nights though we aren't just quite ready to get out of the water, so we tube behind the boat at a crawling pace. This permits us to stand on the tubes, hang off the tubes, trade tubes, and jump off the tubes all while following the no wake rules. It is a blast, and our son certainly thinks so too as of this past weekend. It's the perfect pace and the perfect amount of fun for this two year old.
