The weather is so hot. Sun burns are all over my body, despite pitting three to four layers of sun block. It is either the sun block is too lousy or the sun is far too scorching. After coming back from the sea, I look like a lobster, because my skin turned red due to the scorching sun.
Sailing, windsurfing and power boating was what I did out at sea. It was really fun and I have not been doing it for quite some time. In the morning, my father brought me for breakfast at a nearby coffee shop and we ate fishball noodles. After that, I drove to fetch my friend from his house at Clementi before going to pick my brother up from his scout camp.
Practically, I spent the whole morning in the car traveling up and down the country from east to west. Luckily the traffic was not heavy, so my father managed to drop me and my friend off at East Coast Park.
The wind in the morning was very light and it made me and my other friends that are windsurfing very frustrated. We could hardly move in the water and we have to keep pumping the sail to move just a little bit. By lunch time the wind still did not pick up, but it was expected to pick up only in the afternoon. We all went for our lunch before going out to sea again.
In the afternoon, instead of windsurfing, I took the power boat out to sea to cover the trainees on the sailing course. It was really tiring to use the power boat to go around and make sure that the trainees are not in danger. I hope tomorrow, the trainees will be more cooperative so that my job will be easier.
