My Camp Recount

“Yes !! I said loudly” It’s time for kayaking.

"oh no  I said" I slipped into the water it was very freezing and bitterly cold,  it was like comparing the cold to being in a humongous snow blizzard.

The water was deep it went up to my shoulders it felt like it was as deep as the dark gloomy waters of the pacific ocean.

While I was in the cold bitterly freezing water I was trying to search for my kayak looking for where it floated. Turning my head from side to side searching everywhere. “Oh look” I said “it’s all the way over there.”

Aw man do I really have to swim all the way there it’s like swimming from room eight to room five.”come on Viola” I said to myself you can  do it.

As I was trying to get into my kayak it was really challenging  as I tried to lift myself onto it, I fell back off  into the bitterly freezing water which felt like sharp daggers stabbing me all over my body.

I once again tried to lift my leg up onto my  kayak but it was too hard and I struggled  because the kayak kept on moving and it would turn around every time my leg went on top of it. By this point I was absolutely exhausted.

So I  called for help for someone to hold my kayak. Finally the instructor saw me. “Help me” I cried, so once again I got up and tried again and up I got  onto my kayak and I was  finally happy that I was safely on top of my kayak and not in the water.

`I was so happy and excited to start paddling with the others I was very excited to start moving because I knew I could do it.
