2nd day...
first day was the j draw, classic draw, 360, capsize drill n the other (normal paddling n sweep)
then 2nd day was totally diff!
ok not totally diff... but much much much more fun XD
one man kayak... n we hve the whole kayak to ourselves for one whole day woots... (it would cost a member $12 n a non $30... o.O" so ex) 35/36 of us leh sia lar
getting in n out of the one man kayak is rather diff... my shoes damn big the will kana stuck inside... feel damn uncomforatble when the heels touched together... feel damn squeezy
but is heck lar... in the sea... i didnt even realise my legs arent touching the foot rest... lol hahaz
learned how to embark/disembark one man kayak
turtle crawl lol... fun lar...
then can head out to practise wat we learned the day be4 XD
at first try quite hard to stable...
but aft awhile get used its lik damn easy to steer n gain speed n everything... it becomes damn fun sia...
then capsize drill one by one... hahaz...
first time failed... sianz... did correctly but when coming out my head above surface still got one leg still kana stuck in the cockpit of the kayak... hahaz
2nd time managed to complete n it was free time to practise rescue...
rescue is FUN! :P
esp when jr is the victim... (evil me)
rescuing zhouhong is a chore lar... wl ei... he go gl us...
(the time taken to rescue one zh can let us rescue 2 jrs)
hahaz... btw the 3 of us... (for the rescue) zh capsized 3 times, jr 4 times, i 1 time XD
by the time everyone complete capsizing was alrdy lunch... quit late hor?
all tis time the ones who completed hve freedom to go abt to practise...
but we juz simply hand arnd...
lunch went in mr tan's "suana" to elias mall to buy food n super big gulp back... lol
aft lunch was more fun... learned the steer ruddle n also recovery...
i tell u steer ruddle is quite ok (not tt fun)
recovery is very fun n funny...
first time our instructor demo, he capsized... lol but he managed to turn back o.O"
imba...
yeah i tink its easy lar... juz tilt n hit at the right time can liao... but normally a lot of water would hve gotten into my cockpit... always flooded one...
wah n it was choppy sea n big waves... tt juz makes it nicer... i would kayak against the waves... hahaz
so its lik i will be cutting thru the waves... then aft every wave i cut water will splash up... onto my face, into my kayak... making it damn cooling... esp when u go fast (the splash is bigger)
then it was the test...i was tested 360, j draw, classic draw... then he asked "stern rudder ok?"
me: "shld be"
then i can leave liao haz...
during the test time its lik the rest of us all raft up then let the wave push us along... then often drift too far hve to paddle back...
a few ppl had to do capsize... n a few ppl capsized when doing recovery... hahaz...
then dunno wat winston doing lar... capsized twice again todae... (even w/o yokeming) hahaz
n lik dunno how many ppl rescue him the first time lar... lik thr was at least 5 rescuers with one victim...
cause yokeming's rescue skills abit de...
yeah alright he got winston at his bow... but the paddle n the capsized kayak was left drifting n picked up by me... damn crap lar... i wasnt even supposed to be in his team... lol
juz helped anws...
nxt few times winston is dunno do wat then capsized again...
leave him to his team liao...
final rescue victim is weiwei...
dun even noe how it happened... it wasnt a drill...
she went down... then decided jr back paddle her n her kayak back... while i had 2 paddles... (lol i can actually continue paddling with 2 paddles... quite ok lar, not much diff... but abit heavy carrying 2)
sianz... then instructor say muz rescue her up if not cannot go back to shore...
so being the onli two left... me n jr had to do it... since he alrdy had the kayak... he 1 i 2
a rather gd? rescue...
went back n it was the washing of kayaks... the instructors were trying to pluck the mangoes lol... aft they found one tt was sweet...
they were using the hose to hose it down... (apparently not much effect ei?)
tt was aft all the kayaks were washed...
kana spammed... damn cold... but it was always lik tis at the hose... rather fun lar... spraying each other... hahaz...
i keep squeezing out water frm my shirt
my shoes were sandy... no matter wat...
so certficate presentation... our instructor had a special request for our grp which is a small test in order for us to pass...
hahaz... i tink i had the easiest qns...
yeah so i passed... with many thanks to the instructor, PC (personal computer XD)
basically tt ends our kayaking course...
going for 2-star? might consider... seems fun... 6km... n capsize underwater to wait for rescuers...
sounds diff? maybe... but challenging...
sianz... todae no sun lar... sky so dark... so my tan is still thr... unable to tan it back... haizzz...
shld go swimming when i hve the time...
feel lik going to run later... aft so long... i tink...
