On the 2nd amazing day of camp we went on the Pennicott cruise.  When we went out of the bay, the wind felt like it was slapping us.  The engines roared and the boat was launched so high that we felt like we were flying.  The cliffs were as big as sky scrapers.  When we went into the caves I felt like we were going to get stuck.  The water flowed down the cliff face.

The boat hit the waves as we flew and the sea was splashing in our faces.  All of a sudden we stopped the boat and saw a huge Humpback Whale and then more started coming in.  There were 3 whales.  One whale was popping out of the water, showing us its massive back.  The smell of the whale’s breath was making me try not to vomit!

Camp was so fun; it was even more fun than I imagined!  There was deep, rippling water under us.  We visited some amazing sights and they were just incredible.  The boat started to turn, and I felt like I was going to fall off.  MOst of us screamed with delight, joy and fear.  We went up the light blue waves and came back down a lot of times.  The one wave came at us.  We went up it and BOOM!  We came down hard and water came up with a huge spray and it felt like a whip on my face.  We saw the gigantic cliffs that were taller than sky scrapers and towered over us.

Sea spray and wind whipping my face, my hands as cold as ice. The boat swaying side to side in the choppy water. I was on the Pennicott boat cruise with my class at the Tasman Peninsula. The boat was plunging into the water and I could hear peoples piercing screams. The sea cliffs were as high as mountains, waves as rough as gravel. The boat made a sharp fast turn that made my stomach twist and tie.

Once we got around Cape Pillar to Tasman Island, it was a lot rough and bumpier because it’s where the Tasman Sea meets the Southern Ocean. The boat was turning and rotating constantly and when we launched over one of the wild waves, the boat was in mid-air and it felt like we were falling forever until we came down with a big smash, voices screamed with fear, thrill and amusement. Cold icy water sprayed onto us and soaked my glasses and everybody elses hair, all of our hair was wet and drenched. I licked my lips and they were all salty. My hands were cold and numb and my face was as cold as an icicle  because of all the wind being pushed against my face.
