have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of the sea?
as a windsurfer who often has her legs dangling from the board... its a frequent thought... which you rather not think abt at all... esp with all the scary fishes you saw in finding nemo... if you found them scary that is... i havent really had the chance to really look into the water... although i'm there almost every other day... sg's water a tad too murky for that... but i have seen beautiful documentaries of coral reefs and stuff like dat... and teeny fishes, small sharks, shrimps, snakes and stuff like dat before... and its really pretty... so is that something to fear??? i guess not... but at the same time you cant be certain of wad else is out there... been in many close shaves in my years of windsurfing... but seriously... most of them are man-made one way or another... 1. SHIPS... was sailing with my senior once... and thot she was more experienced... just followed real close when we sailed round this big container ship... but current was really strong... and even though the ship was stationary... the current sorta created a suction at the bow of the ship... senior's equipment was sucked in... and all she could do was swim away as fast as she could... for dear life... she was ok.. equipment suffered a few scratches... and a farnie smell... but we were lucky... 2. BUOY... hmm... was training out at the international beacons... sea currents work in a way such that they're stronger the further you go out at sea... was waiting for the rest at padang buoy... not too sure how its spelt though... or why it is named as such... kinda fell in after i lost my balance... was struggling to keep afloat... and my sail away from the buoy which was full of barnacles... sail got torn... human was still alrite... though i got a bashing from andrew... lucky i was using the lousy training sail... if it was my SIN23... piangz... i'll just die there... 3. JETTY.. i mean bedok jetty... its really near the club... so when we were first starting out... the lousy us would often drift towards the jetty... which is scary with all the fishing rods hooks and pillars with barnacles... never got under the jetty... though others had before... woah... it'll be freaky man... back to physics... ----Stef stopped rambling at 15:44 --Link to Post |
