2 Star Certification

Last day of 2 STAR course. The important agenda is expedition and skill assessment.

Expedition is a good 6km. I realised that paddle with some speed are as good as biking! The breeze is so nice in the water, much safer than biking on the road! The drawback is the hot weather. It can be very stuffy at times! So many people like water sports, i guess there must be some goodness in it that some of us did not appreciate.

It was an hour journey for 6km a to/fro to Merlion. It is nice to have another approach to Merlion via Sea! Get to see so many new stuff by the coastline that you will not notice if by foot. Sometime, a step back to enjoy the surrounding that was missed during the hassle of daily life. Is just an enjoyable experience.

The skill assessments are pretty straight forward. It was a brief to go through the test. The only concern i have is to go bottom up underwater for 10 seconds. Just not nature to go underwater in this way. Must do more practise if i need to get comfortable.

I didn't get to practise Eskimo row! Sigh....

I realise that i am okay with water sports. Don't mind getting barbecue. The most important is the cost must be affordable!

Most probable i will try a few expeditions in the future, decide on 3 STAR later.
