Kayaking Adventure

We went kayaking down Jurassic Coast, Weymouth on Saturday. Thankfully the weather was good, clear skies(with white clouds, not grey), sunny and breezy day – perfect for kayaking. Well, the 3-hour drive was a bit long but the scenery was worth it. So, kayak we did – accompanied by an instructor (quite the ‘comel’). 2.5-3 hours of kayaking is no easy business – easpecially because we can’t stop. Anytime we stop, we will be pushed back by the waves which is in the opposite direction on the way out. Jurassic Coast is known for  many fossil discoveries as well as the rock formation along the coast. Unfortunately, coordinating the kayak with your partner and navigating at the same time is a bit of a multitask that we did not particularly have a good look at the rock formation.

Halfway through, we stopped behind some rocks to get away from the waves and were given some chocs and water to endure the next part of the journey – the hard bit. There’s a door like structure that we were meant to kayak through. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong causing our kayak to capsize! So Fei and me we trown off our boat – interesting experience that I’m glad it happened! A bit refreshing to continue our journey. The instructore, Tony was awesome in that he managed to get us both on board again. The journey back to the shore was very rough with high waves – but we managed to get back without capsizing again!

We hiked up the hill and manage to get a good view of the water form the top – really like Mild Seven advertisement that I used to see when I was young!
