MY STORY
Only a very rough draft
My Greek Vacation
Greece is my home country it’s always been the best time of my life when I take a vacation there. The waves, the beaches, the food, the people, the way the city looks like a whitewashed New York, and even the way the meow of the stray cats keep you up at night. The last time I got to go to Greece was in summer of 2008 when I got to fly as an unaccompanied minor, I got treated like royalty when I stopped in Germany, the lounge I stayed in was awesome free candy and games all the while getting to watch planes fly of the runway, I even got to drive around the bustling halls of the Frankfurt airport in a staff luggage car. I remember staying with my uncle on the island of Kos, he runs a jet ski booth which meant every day I got to help at the shop and play around at the beach, I got to help fill the jet skis with fuel, clean out the engine, and even take ‘em for a test drive on the ocean I got to drive the 1100cc series jet ski, in English that translates to high speeds, high jumps, and awesome tricks. But it wasn’t all fun and games which I learned the hard way when I almost died.
I remember that one faithful day so clearly. It had been a relatively strong day for the waves but other than that it was sunny and sandy. My uncle was getting ready to close up shop so we had to bring in and clean out the jet skis.
“Alex I’m bringing in the jet skis it’s almost time for high tide.” My uncle said as he reached for a drawer in the booth and got out the remote for the skis then proceeding to remotely shut them down
“ Uncle George can I help bring them in this time.” I said with the eager anticipation of the words yes escaping his mouth
“OK but be careful the tide is coming other George will help you pull them in ok be careful” my uncle said baring a doubtful expression. The majority of the conversation was in Greek so I could understand him fairly well but not perfectly. This was also 2 years ago so at the time I was 4 – 6 inches shorter than I am now so I was only about 4’11 – 4’9 the water 10 feet out wasn’t shallow but it wasn’t deep I could stand up easily but what I hadn’t anticipated was that it was high tide which made the water level increase by about 2 feet with heavy waves
“Ok I’ll grab the one on the right you grab the one on the left ok, use the guide rope to pull them in and when you get to the sand wait for the rollers to be set down so the sand won’t scratch the bottom and we will have an easier time moving them.” other George said. The way he was talking kind of made me feel like my job was special and this was some kind of big operation so I tried my best. What rollers are, they’re these rubber things that literally roll so if you put something on it you can roll it sort of like a log roll.
“Ok I got it” I said as I grabbed on to the guide ropes which acted like a runway for the jet skis. And I pulled it was surprisingly easy to do with the waves at my back. And after a few pulls I was at the roll point
“Ok stop now and roll the jet skis onto the first roller, your uncle will help pull it up you push from behind and don’t ease up because it will roll back into you” other George said George was a tall portly man who for some reason always wore sun glasses, he had blue eyes and thick brown hair, and a backwards cap at all times even in the water so it added to the seriousness of the operation.
“Ok” I said while forcing the jet ski onto the first roller. “That’s two so we’re almost done just 2 more to go and that’s it” Said my uncle while helping keep the boat on the rollers.
“Ok that’s three now four” I said with a grunt. But there was a problem I had pushed the jet ski the wrong way and it was not parallel to the other ski and would end with a collision. Even pushing the thing at 1 mile an hour would have knocked both over. So doing the first thing that came to mind I backed up. There was my first mistake. At this point the other roller was rolling backwards into the ocean so the other ski if I pushed it more would have hit the ground and be tough to get back up because there is no wench hook on the back to pull it back up. So I set the thing like a teeter-totter with the front facing up so we could pull it back up.
“Don’t worry I’ll get it just wait here, uncle I’ll go and replace the roller once I get it back. So I went and chased the roller into the ocean and got it back up but it was right next to the guide rope so I went in forgetting about the tide and wave force, mistake number two I went in and then sitting down I got the roller. And finally strike three and I’m about to be out for good.
Without noticing I got sucked in by the waves then pushed me under the ropes I was no at the mercy of the ocean with a rope wrapped around my neck. I remember seeing my life the past 40 days flash by before my very own eyes I knew I was about to die if something didn’t happen soon I was being suffocated by the rope luckily because I was a swimmer I was conditioned to hold my breath under water. So after what seemed like a lifetime of back and forth waves twisting me and turning me and rope burning my neck the waves withdrew just enough for me to squirm out and escape.
“Water, water I need water “I said while the adrenaline rush of it all started fading away and the immense pain from the rope burn kicked in. it felt like I had been trapped under the rope tow at the ski resort. Then transported into the sunniest place in the world and gotten a severe sun burn but only on my neck. And to top it all off I couldn’t swallow my was closed from I don’t know what and I felt again like I was suffocating I didn’t know what to do so I panicked all I could think of was water.
So because of the recent occurrence of me almost dying I went into shock and couldn’t think and so survival instincts kicked in and I went for the most direct source of water the Ocean. Strike 4. I dipped my head in the ocean and started drinking like water was liquid gold. I forgot how shallow it was and dipped my face in hitting it hard against the sand it hurt but I didn’t care I just started drinking the terrible taste of the salt water mixed with the salt getting into my freshly opened cut and the sand also getting into the cut made my in such terrible pain I couldn’t stand it so I screamed it seemed that doing that woke me from what seemed to be a trance that was making me do all that.
I came to and then I did something right for a change I ran past my water bottle and for the hose I turned it on and turns out it didn’t work so I grabbed the bottle of what I thought to be water right next to the booth but it turned out that that was the prank water that I had created, I had added fresh habanera pepper juice to it and that was it after I drank that I went for the pressurized water tank in the tool shed a couple yards behind the booth and once I got to it I just started spraying away and that was bliss never have I felt better in my life
After that whole fiasco I decided to go and talk to everybody back at the booth
“ Hey Alex what just happened we just say you run out of the water a pretty much freak out are you ok” my uncle asked with a concerned look on his face, so I explained to them what happened and they were shocked and kind of amused
“I don’t know what happened but I’m glad to be back” i said while enjoying the smells and sight of the beach life, the smell of Gasoline, the smell of the food shack and the sight of the chef throwing a cat out the back door, the guy selling doughnuts from a stick yelling “DUNETS” GET SOME DUNETS”, the sight of kids playing and the most of all the sight of watching my uncle and other George take care of the jet skis
“Hey you don’t get paid today if you don’t get over here and help like you wanted to” said other George in a laughing voice
And so I ran down there and finished what I started and luckily nothing insane happened this time and in the end it all worked out because I learned a lesson and I still got paid and the fact that I was still alive was just a plus.
