KAYAKING!

Started the weekend with a sleepover. A lot of fun, we lost Mike, but quickly found him in Christina's room floor when Hui and I were heading to bed. Hahaha.

Saturday morning was filled with whining from hungry people. Went to the cottage, good food. Then headed over to La Jolla Shores to go kayaking. So first it was going to be Ryan and Hui in one, Sitong and Brian, me and Christina. But as we got our kayaks and headed into the water, it was clear that it would be hard for two girls. We could barely hold on to the kayaks against the waves let alone get in. Christina started getting really annoyed and pissed, saying that Sitong and Brian need to split up and go with one of us while Sitong was completely oblivious to her anger and had already jumped into his kayak. Brian told Christina to go with Sitong while he would be with me.

Brian and I proceeded to struggle for at least 5 minutes to get into the kayak. We were too close to shore, so each time we got in, the waves would take us and we would flip. I think we flipped around 3 times, sometimes Brian hadn't even gone in yet. Haha. So basically, we were struggling and it did not look like we were going to get in anytime soon while the other boats were already out in the water. Sitong then abandoned his kayak to swim back to shore to help me and Brian on. Hahaha. We went into the deep end, and I couldn't jump in cuz we were too deep, so Brian had to hold onto the kayak while Sitong heaved me in. It took awhile for us to get in, and after we rowed our way to where everyone else was, I realized that I had lost my water proof disposable camera. Hahahaha. It fell off of the string, I guess one of the many times I flipped did it.

Anyways, it was a lot of fun. Once your actually deep in the ocean, it's a lot easier, cuz it's just currents, no big waves. But as we were going back to shore, Brian wanted to get out and walk the kayak in, while I wanted to ride the waves and let it carry us to shore. So a wave came, and we didn't get out, but it was too fast and strong, so we ended up flipping again. And this time, both me and Brian lost our sunglasses. Though his are 200, and mine were only like 75. But I had only gotten them in May. Oh well. I'm not telling my mom though, she'd get pissed.

All in all, super fun. I want to go again sometime, and of course with someone who is able to help me get into the kayak. Haha.
