Friends saw what appeared to be a serious accident yesterday afternoon at La Ropa, when a parasail slammed into one of the boats anchored off the beach.
Anyone else see it, or know what the outcome was? Reports say that the Bomberos boat was very quickly on the scene.

We saw a low flying parachute catch on the tall exhaust of the motor yacht Argo. We were on the side that did not have the woman on it.

The group that were flying her are the new ones that fly from behind Casa Sophia, next to La Pirata on the south end of the beach. We have seen a number of bad things happen when they fly.

Bomberos showed up, eventually, then left and went to the pier. The parachute was recovered and flying again within 30 minutes. We watched, but never saw anyone looking/asking or anything about the woman, and we did not see her return.

We paddled around Argo this morning, and there appeared to be no damage to their shade structures, or anything else.

Would love to know more.

The Argo needs to have a parasailer painted on the side, like the fighter pilots put on to show how many kills they had!!!

Couple weeks ago that same crew dropped a young couple in front of La Perla (should have been next to Pirata) with no spotters anywhere nearby. He had the wind knocked out of him for a bit - they both walked away after although she was limping. Scary to see but impressive how many people at La Perla ran over to see if they were ok.

Argo isn't here this afternoon. Last week, they were here a couple of days, gone for a few, then returned.

Hopefully they weren't scared off, OR are in getting their parasailer painted on!
