Weather was good ~25C... with very chilly water. Took me about 5min before I brave into the water.
The plan was to try surfing but the beach (Bulli, about 90min drive) that we head to... has no surf board for rent. So, that's it - just swim in the nice cold water with great waves.
Initial part was great... I was enjoying the swim with current pushing and pulling me in and out of the shore...
Within seconds, I was been pulled farther from the shore and into a deep depth by the strong undercurrent. And no matter how hard I tried, I just can't get any nearer and it does seem that I can't make it.
For a minute, I was wondering if I should give up and get myself drown. I did wanted so much because... In my life, there has been incidents after incidents where I struggled so much and hard to fight and live on.
When will be the day that I give up?
Anyway, I didn't really panic; maybe I knew I can't and cannot afford to. ALso, it was too much for me to give up now...
I continued to swim.... of course I made it else I wouldn't be writing my blog now. :)
And I did not quit just like that; I stayed in the water much longer - to have a good time....
The price? I got a really bad sunburn and uneven tan :(
