This is the 2nd trip for KFA and this time was with Ian aka Pearly ! I would consider this trip as a sea expedition as the total distance clocked was 20KM to and fro ! It was a super long and never ending journey but it was really a testing of will power to us...Journey was fun and trilling as we faced quite a number of obstacles...Choppy water, strong current, white waters etc....We were quite in a panicked state when we hit the choppy current near Hyundai Bay..1 stroke of paddle, the current will push you back by 3 stroke.....
At one point, the current was strong until we were drifting from one location to another very quickly..The end point was Changi Naval Base and we fished there for quite some time until the siren sound out and we were forced to leave that place ! It was definitely a good experience with Pearly and we did learnt alot of new tricks with him...Despite his age of 43 years old, he is still going strong and whacking the sea every week without fail ! I hoped when I am at his age, I would have that kind of energy though !
Although the trip was rather long and alot of time was spent on paddling, but it is a valuable lesson learnt and perhaps the next few subsequent trip, we will clock lesser distance and aim for bigger catch ! The best part was waking u[ at 0530am in the morning and going back ar nearly 4pm ! I think I just lost 2kg !!! It was seriously a weight loss cum healthy sports to go ahead ! I felt 1 kayaking trip is equivalent to 2 times gym session ! It was rather tiring and the arm power must be there to meet the tough requirements ! And of course next day, fully brunt ! Haaa
Overall catch was not too good, I hit on a squid and miss a big todak ! At leat one arm's length ! He chop off my line with his nasty razor sharp teeth and that leave me with nothing ! Pearly got a mid-size queenie and Robert 0 catch ! Although Robert claims that he miss alot of "Biggies " haa :P
Better luck next week !
