As I mentioned in my first post about my Island Windjammers cruise, one of my favorite activities on the boat was flinging myself into the water from an old-fashioned rope swing attached to the side of the boat.

I was the first to go Tarzan – but others soon jumped in. The crew would even do it, once we were docked for the night  Here are a few photos of jumpers in action:

It took some convincing, but Pat eventually took a leap.

Janet said the swing reminded her of childhood swimming holes in Alabama.

I think we were all surprised when Bob – who eschewed the snorkeling and swimming to spend time on the boat reading – took a jump.
