Flyin Sideways
We are Karin and Joe. We're setting off into the wild blue on our 43' Columbia MK III with our 2 dogs Gypsy and Jack. We've been skydivers/pilots for most of our lives. We're trading in plummeting towards earth at 120mph +, for Flyin Sideways at 7-8 kph, much scarier than our previous adventures.
