Swim across Sun Moon Lake (2)

Not really worrying too much about my father, because I was a bit angry. He wasn't really listening to the briefing last night, yet he appeared to be very into the game and the plan. He even raised questions and had conversation with the captain, how could he not understand everything? I have told him to practice swim like 6 months ago, how can he drop out midway through? Unprofessional and lazy butt, I was angry because he is just using his age as an execuse, not to be strong and train himself. He thought that's the way to get attention? Ha ha, sorry, I do not like weak people. Sorry, you get no sympathy from me. Go rest in the shore, see you later.

I swam slowly with Akiko, it is not like last year, where a large quality of people ran into the water, it was much better controled this year. I remember last year, I had to kick and being kicked in order to get forward. My goggles were wacked a couple of time, it is like playing Rugby in water. The water is cool and nice, we can see the green mountain hidding in the fog. However, Akiko cannot swim long distance, we needed to stop every 100 or 200 meters.

At the 1100 mark, I got Akiko to get on the floating platform where we can have chocolate and water. It is all very interesting scene, because getting on the platform required some energy. Many swimmers just hopped around the platform to rest, and the life guard broke the chocolate into pieces and fed the swimmers in water one by one.

While we were resting, Akiko waved and shout "Liao Pa" to the boat driving pass us. Oh my god, that's my dad on the boad, who is also waving like mania to us. Oh great, at least he was ferried to the other end, I should be able to find him there.
