Row, Row, Row Your Boat... (Out the Window III)

With Summer slowly fading away, giving way to cold showers and noticeably shorter day, activities around the Hoe, however, intensified. Maybe everyone is squeezing all that is left from the good weather to be out and rowing.

I still remembered the times in university when I took up canoing as an activity with another friend. We went for canoing practical test out in the open sea, not that far though, just off the beach of Desaru. The good old times in university.

The plethora of water vehicles were eye opening. When the weather was really good, with the sun up high above, they form an amazing picture. Boats such as these dot the sea with their vibrant colours while yachts paint with triangles of white and major vessels dashes of grey on this vibrant blue canvas.

A view of the sea from the kitchen, apparently is slowly becoming something I take for granted. Nowadays, I spend less time by the opened windows. Gone were the days when I would sip a cup of coffee while looking out to the sea. It made me wonder how long have I longed for a change of landscape.
