5tH DaY - HeaDiNg hOmE!!

It's the end! Finally we were to head back to kl.. But first we have to still embark on our journey back to mainland.. It was declared that we shall set sail at dawn.. My CAP was found just as we were about to load the kayak.. God is all mercifull as I really didn't what I would do without it.. The trip back was expacted to take longer as we were paddling with the waves.. As before me and Ariff were paired againmuch to the dismay of Nina.. (laughs evilly)..

As we set off, we found that the waves kept putting us off-course.. ariff kept looking back which futher made the kayak unstable... guess its kind of payment as last time i wasn't much of help.. kept pushing and finally we found ourselves in sight of the inlet were heading.. As we were to over excited we paddled to hard and water flooded our boat causing us to capsize!! Luckly fareeza and mat were there to signle for help.. Trying to self rescue was impossible as the water level too high.. After the water was emptied we just applied the self resccue tecnique..

After making the last streach we finally made it and as we reached the inlet i was blessed with my first glance of FLYING FISH.. i'm not kiddinf.. they were so beautiful that i though i was imagening things.. but the instructers saw them too.. as we aproached the pier we capsized again all thanks to ariff's idea of being different and not like others.. it was then that i lost my cap for the final time!!

The trip ended with going to the bus station as i really needed the ATM mechine then.. baught some fruits and road the bus home.. on the way we stop and baught 'satah' which for me was a first!!.. What a trip.. I'm so dark my gran will deffinately have a shock seeing me like this..
