strained and torn muscles
whole body aching
but it's worth it!!
met winnie at the bus stop at 930..
took a slow stroll walk in..
put our stuff in our locker and get ready for lessons
kayak in the plastic
RED boat today
dunno why today cannot steer properly..keep moving left and right instead of straight..
the turbo-the boat name..is very sensitive.it will move slightly la.but wahh..mine move so much.
had the capsize and rescue drill.we r pros at tat!!
our instructor decided to let us kayak to sheer's bridge[like the camp] so happy lor..then she said "if any of u were to really capsize, u really have to shout out loud if not we can't hear you" and then jus a few mins past..i CAPSIZED cos i put too much force on one side without realizing im toppling!!! wahhhs...it was so sudden until i got choke on the sea water..yuck!haha..the whole grp started saving me..im so honoured..
the waves were so strong..literally have to control the kayak..
heading back to shore..a guy capsized as well..so im not the only one..heex
after lunch we again did capsize and rescue drill..instructor showed us the 360 capsize turn.meaning u capsize and back up to the surface..so cool..but tat's only taught in 3 star..
then we paddle to indoor stadium..tiring la.but fun..everyone looked tired by the time we reached there..haha..rested for a while and then headed back to shore..
cleaned up the paddle.bouyance vest and the kayaks..had shower..grp foto again and our certs!! whoo hoo...im so proud of myself!!
cldn't move fast..firstly, got sand cut at my foot..pain!..secondly thighs are sore..thirdly aching body..
but the course was a learning experience..!
