Moment in time-Kawau

Jumping off the pontoon

As I climbed slowly up the slimy, soft floating stairs, I was really really nervous and scared of jumping out into the cold, deep water with large and small slimy black eagle rays underneath me. I told Chelsea and Caitlin that I couldn’t jump so they said we will jump with you and you can jump in the middle of us.
So I leapt out in mid-air and... SPLASH! I had jumped. Then I showed Chelsea and Caitlin that I could do it all by myself. Everyone moved out of my way and I did a crazy cat walk along the splinter wood and sharp nails poking out. I did a funky monkey pose in mid-air. Chelsea and Caitlin said well done. And I did it over and over and over again. That’s how much fun it was.

Your descriptive story made it easy for me to imagine what it was like jumping off the pontoon.
