Unexpected Rock Traverse

The

he tide was high, it was getting darker, and the next next part was one of the most exciting experience in the island, very memorable to JR and Hathim I guess. We navigateded through the rocks beside the cliffs along the shore. It was fun jumping along from rock to rock, walking along shallow waters. But more than a half hour had passed and there were no sight of our camp. It was getting darker and the waves getting stronger. I wasn't worried that much on the darkness as I have my headlamp along with me, but with the two who were behind us. What was challenging where we had to cross this big dome. There was also a time when I almost panicked, I went down the wrong way and found myself awashed by the waves. My headlamp was blinking madly as the water got into it. I found myself going back a bit. I asked Eds to check the upper rocks for trail. We no longer have the option to go back as it was getting really dark. I tried to dry out my batteries and put them in a few times to see if my headlamp still works. Fortunately it lit up and I was able to light the trail of the guys behind us while they negotiate with the rocks. Shortly a few minutes it was a relief to see the lights in our camp.

I was impressed that JR and Hathim managed to keep themselves calm throughout. I told JR that she could boast to her friends the ordeal she just went through going around the island.

Dinner was served a few hours after we had our not-so-perfect Rice, which we called "Hickory Wood Flavored". But it was satisfying and a lot. I was so tired that night I wasn't able to keep up with their socials.
