A light westerly blows. A silver of sunlight filters through the clouds.
A noble story about the award-winning adventurer Andrew McAuley who paddled a kayak solo for 1600km and spent 30 days at sea touched me.
It doubt me at first, why he chose to be in dangerous rather than spending time at home safely?
Is it the ambition of the adventurer is far far important than his family?
But we should salute him for his strong spirit and determinations in kayaking.
His wife is always by his side to encourage him to achieve his noble ambition,
although she is not willing to let him travel this far alone,
but she still chose to support him.
She need to face all those unexpected outcome all the time.
While he is out there kayaking at the sea,
her heart and soul is out there together with her husband.
The ending part of the story is totally out of what i expected
i am thinking of : He return home safely and run into the hugs of his wife and his son,
and the story is happy-ending..
but the real ending is totally different.Sad.
Lessons of the story:
Life is precious. Appreciate what you have.
