Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Left! Left!

This is the post my cousin Sophia has been expecting and waiting for.
Here is it!

Milpoint was the location and the activity was Kayaking and Sail boating. It was a sunny late afternoon. The sun was not scorching hot, it was just right for water sports! The whole house got out for the activity - This was one of the Firsts.
It begins with a bunch of Asians standing in front of the equipment rental shack arguing with their gibberish language that local Australian do not understand.

The initial idea was a competition of kayaking, who ever reaches a certain point from the appointed starting point, Wins.

Unfortunately, the cause of these few Asians debating in front of shack was due to the reason that the renter had only 2 double kayaks, one single kayak and a bunch of catamarans.

It was clear that 2 pairs will be able to pursuit their life long dreams to paddle in a kayak while the remaining will have the choice of a lonely paddle in a single kayak, or the 3 person catamaran.
After everyone had suit up in their safety jacket/life jacket, everyone was ready to get into the water! Woo Hoo!
Noticeably, I would be the one pushing the kayak with the considerably large one. We did ok, considering much of the combustion energy that we have, we were quick.
Interestingly, Wendy and Jerome was in the same boat. As usual, they are a couple..
And the ones on the catamaran was Sheron, Yee Ern and Andy.
See, we were pretty quick, as both had experience in Kayaking, our strategy was simple and swift. Sophia being the one in front yelled out, Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! Right! Right! (For you Kayak Noobs out there, paddling left doesnt mean go left, its actually, Paddle left to go right, right to go left, left and right to go forward) We knew all the techniques including how to stop (Front left, Rear Right in the water or vice versa), Reverse turn ( Paddling forward left and right instead of pushing the water backwards) and the Eskimo roll! Ok... we didnt do the Eskimo roll, if we did, we'd be wet...

While we were Left and Right away, the Couples group and Sheron's the Boss group were still near the shore... Aww~
As you can see, we were pretty much far far away with our super awesome paddling power and coordination. Contrasting with the Couples group, we are able to move forward faster and turn sharper.
The race soon began between the kayaks. It was a clean start, with Me and Sophia up ahead, like we are able to go from 0 - 100 knots in 3 seconds. We accelerated quickly and the Couples were biting our dust, um, in this case, splash. In the end, we won~ Weeee~
Soon after, we were facing a problem...

The below graphics by professional illustrators demonstrates how the event happens.
When 2 nearly X0kg people are in the kayak, you can be sure that a heavier total weight will weigh down the kayak much more, and a lower kayak means water would be able to enter the kayak easily. Me and Sophia's kayak was a mini aquarium where we can tame little fishes. Our solution was to scoop out as much water was it is possible.
This issue was not applicable to the Couples Kayak. They total weight is lighter than us by a whole lot and with less paddling power in the front department, less water is likely to get into the kayak. As a consequence, being much powerful with disposable combustive energy can pay a price, that is, having both of our pants wet...

Then we tried to catch up with the catamaran, looking for a ride as both of us got tired. Needs more spinach, no more energy, used up in Left and Right.
So we cling on to Sheron's the Boss Catamaran.
The above diagram shows the top view of the described event.
A - Sheron
B - Yee Ern
C - Andy
D - Sophia
E - Me

Andy was working on the steering of the catamaran while Yee Ern was maneuvering the sail. Sheron being the boss, commanded (See Diagram: Pointing and insisting) that both me and Sophia to let go of their catamaran as it was slowing them down. We were then forced to let go and continue our tiredness.

At a moment, we were just relaxing on the water in the kayak, without paddling, while the catamaran went near to Perth City. Weirdly, a few catamarans with locals went pass and yelled out... "Are you guy's Alright?!"
We responded "YEA! We're Just tired!"
It came to us that we had to keep on paddling if we wanted people to stop coming to us and asks us if we were alright. (For the record only 2 catamaran stopped and show their concerns)
The Lighter group.
The out of energy group.
We were so tired when our half an hour was up. Soaking wet and seriously needed to have a wee.
Aww... how sweet... um... ok...

I wanted to post some other pictures of the other group, sadly, Sheron didnt send me the rest of the photos where she looked all bossy and stuff. Hahahahahaha...

Their catamaran was out of control and the renter had to use the boat to go out and get them...
The later reason was their time was up, however, the initial one was due to Aunt YC concern towards the catamaran group, seeing how they are static in one position for some time...

All in all, we all had fun, and the catamaran group, being the last to show up at the shore, had to treat Aunt YC her favorite Icey Ice.
