Here is my five minute voice-to-text story using https:\/\/speechnotes.co\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So this past summer I went on a kayak trip with my partner Tony and our two friends James and Ian. We had originally plans to go on a canoe trip in the bower and lakes area of BC. Unfortunately, because of the fire fire fires that were happening throughout our Province during the summer, we had to cancel that trip. Actually we postponed it until hopefully next summer. So this trip in Northern Vancouver Island was a 5-day 6 nights Excursion that was quite challenging for me to be honest. Both Tony and Ian are quite Adept outdoor enthusiasts whereas myself and James were more in the amateur side. Next line next paragraph we set out from Telegraph Cove on day and we paddle to our first location which was a spot that we decided to stay for two nights the second night that we were there there was another group of kayakers who had a guide with them and they had planned on leaving quite early the following morning when we woke up a couple of hours after their planned departure, they were still there. It turns out that the guide had forgotten to tie up two of their five kayaks and these had shipped. Into the water and we’re lost. We definitely learned a lesson through observing what not to do. After that spot we decided to continue on to another location that we had planned on going to called the whites islets. This place was incredible and we decided to spend two nights there. During all these days we saw tons of humpback whales and a couple of killer whales. In addition we saw bald eagles many seals a couple of sea lions. What was challenging for me on this trip was having to wear a wetsuit during rainy days and in fact I was wearing the white suit the whole time during our kayak Expedition and not being able to have a shower once the smelly wetsuit was removed. We ate quite well and it wasn’t until the last night that we using our Reserve packaged foods that was less tasty than the previous night’s. Another challenge was facing a fear of potentially falling into 8. Celsius open water while traversing a few channels. The last stretch in particular stands out when we returned because a humpback whale could easily flip over one of The Kayaks are both kayaks. All in all I was proud of myself for having embarked on an adventure that most people wouldn’t have guessed that I could have done. Here’s to more Adventures where I force myself to do something out of the blue and challenging.”<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
