Boat Drama in Gold Coast...

My aunt and uncle came from KL on Thursday, so we had a huge family gathering again last weekend. Woohoo! The best part is that they're all in Gold Coast, all the more reason to head down south! =D Anyway, my uncle who owns a boat decided to bring us for a spin around the coast and to collect some sea cucumber. I didn't know they just lie on the sea bed! LOL!!

This is a view of Surfers from the boat. It was beautiful!!

We were supposed to leave the house by 9am, but there were some problems with the battery so by the time we actually left, it was already 11am... The sun was shining, so it was really a good time to go out on the boat. There were heaps of other people on boats too. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather and the shining sun...

Everything was going fine and according to plan, except the part when we got slightly lost. LOL! They had a good harvest... still within the legal allowance... don't worry... didn't break any rules... ;) And then, on the way back... That's when the drama began!!

The tides were going down so fast that it was really difficult to manoeuvre the boat. That was also because of the winds as well. We had to make sure we didn't go into the shallow parts and keep only to the deep part. But it's so hard to see, and we were also rushing for time... We got stuck a couple of times, but we always manage to free ourselves. So when we got really stuck, as in stuck, stuck... I didn't realise that we were... stuck...

Both my uncles had to come down from the boast, the water was only waist deep, to try free the boat. Luckily despite the strong winds and the fast residing tide, they managed to get the boat free. We thought the episode was over until we saw a sign that said, "EXIT TO COOMERA". Damnnn, we have been driving the wrong direction! Suppose to be heading down south, but we went up north! It started to get cold when the sun set with the wind blowing into our faces. But luckily we managed to survive the drama without anyone getting hurt, except my uncle who got a cold after that...

Anywayyy, more photos!!

Before the drama we got to stop at a beautiful beach! Not many people so we basically had the beach to ourselves and a couple of others. Caught some crabs... lol.. actually it was only a small baby crab...
