Splash! Lachie cannon-balled into the clear waters of the beautiful lake surrounded by nature. I looked across the water. It looked cold today. 'Brrr!" I said at the thought of falling into the icy water. Anyone in their right mind would not want to fall in. Except that doesn’t apply to one of my team members, Lachie. I’m pretty sure he was going to spent more of his time in the water rather than on his kayak.
I sat down in my slim, yellow plane-shaped kayak as it bobbed up and down. After a while, I got used to the gentle movements. I lifted my paddle and started pushing it through the water smoothly like the parents showed me. My boat glided through the water with each stroke.

I soon got the hang of it and as soon as I knew it, I was in a line to race Mrs Liddell, Duncan and another teammate, Tom. I came last but it was fun to race against pros. I looked over at my teammates. Emily was yelling at Mrs Liddell because that cheeky teacher had stolen her paddle. Haha. I was having so much fun, figuring out ways to do little tricks, that I never wanted to stop. But sadly, before long, the honker boomed through the whole camp to announce the next rotation.
