The sea is always exciting and it is full of adventure.
However, we know that we should never take Mother Nature for granted.
So before we begin every sea activity, we have a Water Confidence exercise to let all participants familiarise themselves with the buoyancy and appropriate fit of their personal floatation device (i.e. PFD)
Here is VS, we believe that we are called to be 'something more'. Often in life, espcially in Singapore, we are so used to the mentality of 'anything also can' or 'chin chai'. But we want Victorians to rise above mediocrity and to know that each of us has within our hearts the ability to shine in our own individual and unique way.
Here we see Isaac Tay from 1E, although he uses a wheelchair to get around in daily life, in the kayak he is just as adept as the rest of us. With the help of his father, Mr Melvin Tay, the dynamic duo kayak and made their way round the kelongs surrounding our camp site. In fact, they seemed to be out doing our speed boat that was having trouble with its engine.
As the boys got more confident in the water, we decided to push their limits and to show them that together we can achieve things that we would fail to accomplish on our own.
Take a look here:
Who would ever think that it would be possible for both kayakers to stand upright in their craft in the middle of the sea.
Alone, it is impossible.
Together, you can do EVERYTHING!
