Quest





First snorkelling and wind surfing experience



During my Independence Day holidays, I went on a trip to a place in Kathadi North near Rameshwaram. It was called The Quest! The beach was breathtaking and the view was awesome. I collected many beautiful and curvy shells. I found some spiky shells, smooth curvy shells, crab claws and shells with dead hermit crabs in them.





I tried snorkelling as well! We went on catamaran and went in top speed. The water splashed on our faces. Once we reached our destination, we wore our goggles and snorkels as they gave us the instructions. Then we jumped in and saw the corals and fishes. I did not like the corals much as they were massive, grey, dull and spooky. Others said they looked colourful and beautiful. Yes, I did not enjoy them since I know that they are all living creatures. And the fish were coming near me. My mom also saw a huge jellyfish. I saw some small jelly fish very close to me. So I got really scared and came out. Soon after that, we left. We ate some mint sandwiches, lemonade and snacks as we listened to some music and sailed back. Yes the sails were up and we used the wind power to sail back. Earlier we had used the motor, since the wind was against us. Once we reached the beach we jumped off the catamaran. We jumped few more times then I swam back to the shore and collected some more shells.


In the evening, we went for Wind Surfing. I was a teeny bit scared but was excited to try something new. We wore a helmet and life jacket. I thought the life jacked was better than the normal ones because they had zippers and Velcros instead of the buckles like in the adult’s lifejacket. I found it difficult to lift the mast in the wind surfing. But I soon got the hang of it. Then I moved my feet and held on to the the Boom and was moving along with the wind. I loved it!


Then we took a shower, ate some snacks and left from Quest. I had a memorable time in The Quest!
