Summary: Fabulous experience on a full day paddle out on the sea with Masashi, some of the sea caves we entered were dark and narrow and required a bit of trust and encouragement, others were magical with the light shining through a glassy aqua sea. Being out in a rolling swell 50 meters from shore at times took some getting used to for me as it was out of my comfort zone and experience, however, Masashi was very encouraging and understanding of my hesitation which was something I just needed to overcome so I could enjoy the experience. I was so exulted that I did the trip and pushed myself. I did do plenty of paddling and weight training beforehand and was glad of it, the muscle strength in my back and arms was certainly up to the task from the preparation and this made me happy that I was strong enough physically to manage paddling the kayak for long distances and hours. We had a break for a drink and snack mid morning and a simple rice based lunchbox meal. Take plenty of water and a few quality snacks and eat a decent breakfast well before your day in the water. Thanks Masashi, it was fun challenging and unforgettable, keep smiling and enjoying life!
