Secondary 2 OBS camp - Day three

It was May 2oth, 3rd day of our camp. Which means we got 1 more day before the whole camp ens. Today, my watch will be going for wet activities which means we are going to travel to Camp 1 on foot. . . When we got there, we wore the life jackets and carry the heavy kayaks called 'triyaks' to the sea and thats when we learn how to use the paddle. Its almost impossible for us to do it alone so we did it in a group of three. Before that, i had forgotten to mention about the jetty jump. It was very fun and all we had to do is jump off the jetty deck and shout 'GOOD MORNING PULAU UBIN!!!' Now back to the kayaks. After learning the basic things to sail the kayaks, we sailed off from the beach to the sea!!! When we gather in the middle of the sea, everyone is odered to stand on their own triyaks and together, we shouted the cheer we learnt yesterday. After about one and half an hour, we went back to the shore. This time, we had to built a raft. After almost an hour, the raft is completed and we deployed it to the sea to check if it floats. It floats!!! We then sat in the raft and paddle around that area. We came back about 30mins later and have our lunch. (Did I mention that we met Mr Shawal there?) We then went back to our campsite and thats the end of Day 3.
