I also went skydiving for the first time. Quite an experience.



At the skydiving office.



The tandem skydiving pairings. I was the last to go.



Kari assumes the position. This is how you hold your arms when you fall out of the plane.



Carol and Kari suiting up. They went first.

Here I am on the plane just before jumping. I don't look nervous, do I? Thirty seconds later, I would be unconscious.



After jumping out of the plane, we spun and twirled around in so many different directions that I didn't know which way was up. Here's the sun setting over Byron Bay.



Cape Byron, the eastern-most point of Australia, from the air. You can just make out the lighthouse.



After pulling the chute, I started feeling queasy.



The goggles came off and I almost hurled.



This is what the rest of the descent looked like.



With our skydiving certificates, shortly after regaining consciousness.



My skydiving certificate.



Mats jumped with me and got part of my jump on his digital video camera. The fucker hasn't sent me a copy.
