KAYAKING








On Wednesday we went kayaking in the ocean at Goat Island.
First we got split up into groups.There was group one and group two. I was in group two with my friend Jen.
We wanted to be in the same kayak, but unfortunately there was only four double kayaks so we had to go in seperate kayaks.
All went well at first, but then a huge gust of wind that
blew my paddle under my boat, which caused my head to go under water.
Luckily, I didn"t fall out. The man in the boat came to tow us while we were in our kayaks because we couldn't paddle back to shore as the wind was too strong with the big gusts.
Jens kayak flipped as well as Shanae,Larissa and Samanthas kayak.
Then the man towed us back to shore to Goat Island. We were stuck on Goat Island with Liz the instructor. Liz told us to huddle together cause we were freezing. The man in the boat took us back to shore in groups but we had to jump out of the boat and swim to the shore so he could go back fast and get the rest of the kids.
Mrs Dunn and Mrs Stevens helped us out of the water and Greg drove us up to the camp were we had a hot shower, hot drink and cake.
It was scary but we were OK.

Wow sounds like you had a pretty exciting camp. Well done you brave kayakers. Now you will know what to do in future if the weather changes when you are at sea.
