Paragliding…

This is my daughter and me flying high on boat-assisted paragliding, circa June 2023, somewhere near North Goa…was riveting 3 minutes up in the sky…a great experience. The view towards the sun-set was great and so was the view in the opposite direction to the sun, where we could see backwaters from the top.
