1. It’s good to know that you were able to survive. I’m not fond of going to beaches but there are events being conducted by the office which I need to join. So, yes, I already experienced riding in a small boat.

   • It’s alright to ride small boats if it’s near shores otherwise it’s scary.

2. Long time Waiting for your new post

   • Am still thinking of topics to write and must still look for photos.

3. I can hardly recall the exact number but we’re more than 10 I think.

4. One of my earliest memories was catching a large and small snapper on the same fishing line at 3 years of age in the middle of the Manukau Harbour. We had a small dingy with an outboard motor.

   • That could be an enjoyable experience for you as a kid.

     • Yes, it was but to be honest I don’t miss the smell of fish scales on the lawn

   • How was your experience?

     • That was over 2 decades ago, but remembering it, it was not bad. I do not do bigger boats though because I get sea sick.

   • Indeed, and I decided I will not tell my parents about it but the news had already spread in the community because the fisherman who saved us told the story when he arrived at the market.

8. Glad you survived to tell us the story.

   • thank you, you are right small boats are not safe to use if you are crossing seas

     • Yes ofcourse it is a risk

       • yes and one must always use life jackets.

10. These fishing straws look like laundry dryers

    • Yeah, I was actually amused by their laundry dryers. Clothes dry faster.

11. Florel faces death but lives to tell the tale!

    • True a very scary experience until now still fresh on my mind

      • can you avoid boats in the future?

        • As much as possible I avoid small boats.

          • generally I advise folks to face their fears just for personal growth, but in your case, why not just avoid small boats?

    • Thanks for the comment, thanks be to God we were saved and nobody was hurt. Until now the phobia remains, I hope I can overcome.

      • I believe you have a phobia. Such events can not be erased from our head. I want you to get better as soon as possible.

13. You are lucky to have an experience that is rarely owned by other people.

    Welcome aboard, Florel.

    • Thanks for the welcome greet. Yes it was an experience that I cannot forget, imagine we didn’t have life jackets then.

      • You’re most welcome, Florel.
        Indeed, we must always be careful when dealing with the sea and rivers. I also have some experience of drowning in the river; like when swimming in childhood and being thrown from a rubber boat when rafting about ten years ago. I am thankful that I am still alive and have various experiences. Your experience will be a great story for your children and grandchildren later.

        • Especially when I would look at that area now, I cannot imagine how scary it was, There were not that big waves when that happened otherwise I do not want to imagine the rest.

          • How many passengers have been with you when the incident happened?
