Bako National Park's Blues
posted by Francis Ho
I took boyish-looking Simon J out on his first sea kayaking trip to Bako National Park yesterday for Hari Raya kayaking! It was a last minute impromtu arrangement.
The rains and the wind cleared up most of the haze leaving us wonderful views of the vivid blue skies for the first time in months. It was a refreshing sight after the drabby grey skies we've had and we felt uplifted and strong as we set off from Bako fishing village just as the sunlight broke through the cloud covers.
However, Simon had a different sort of “blues” on the return journey as the 7 hours plus trip to and back from Pulau Lakei at the extremities of the Bako National Park in the open sea and basking under the fierce tropical sun proves a bit much, even for a fit 26 year old who swims 2 kilometers (or 40 laps) regularly. I trust that Simon is still talking to me after this trip. *sigh*
