Rolling, Wet-Rescue And Self-Rescue Also Rafted Canoeing

Heading into Collingwood Dock we went, words can't describe how I was feeling and how the group was, it was the first time we had ever done this as a group, myself I have done a little bit before but I'm not the expect in it.

It was Myself, Craig and Young Michael in one group and Mayo, Fae and Steve in another, Craig, Fae and myself were feeling nervous as well who wouldn't be when your submerged under water for a period of time, your life shouldn't be holding your breath, but anyways we fought our nerves away and worked together in our group.

Water was really warm, it was like a sauna in there, windows were opened and Myself and Fae were the first victims of the water, god help us, what were we thinking. Anyways back to reality, I will describe how I was feeling being underwater, it was scary and terrifying but I knew the boys had my life in their hands and I could trust them.

One, Two, Three and I was submerged, I felt like I was walking on the ceiling, everything went upside down and 30 seconds later I could breathe they had rescued me, any longer I would have had to evacuate myself from the kayak. Craig was next in my group and Steve in his, as I am writing about my experience I will just stay focused on my group sorry Steve.... Anyways, Craig was ready to be dunked next, I had his life in my hands, glad he trusted me. Once again, One,Two, Three, he was under, after rescuing him, all I could think was, well first is he ok and then I wonder what he would be thinking whilst being underwater, note to self ask Craig.

Note to self, don't get hit by a Kayak it really hurts, head has a small lump on the side of it but I will live.

Canoeing was on the agenda after lunch, me I had a tuna sandwich, Steve had sandwich's as well and Michael too, Fae had Cheese, Crackers and Branson Pickle Yummy!!!!, Well what can I say about Craig, usual licquorice diet so were used to that.

Me and Craig were in one canoe and Fae and Steve were in the other, Michael well lets just say that he was left alone in a Kayak, the wind was strong, the weather was crap and it was a struggle to canoe along the dock, next plan lets raft up with other group by connecting the painters, yes their called painters apparently which is the rope at the end of the boats, this is according to Michael but we need more information Michael on why they are called this.

We rafted up and stormed through the choppy waves, nearly ended up in once or twice I lost track all I wanted was to be warm and off the water. Eventually we made it up and down the dock and it was home time, pack up time and into the mini bus we went.

Videos Next: Well guys it wont let me upload videos so I will have to figure this out somehow as I've uploaded videos before well that was off my phone transfer time I think, well I'm hungry and warm in this library, time for Milkshake, wait I'm supposed to be on this diet, ooopppssss ...... till we meet again on a different blog.
