This course exceeded my expectations. I had no idea we would be paddling from island to island. Loved the canoes! Beautiful sites we wouldn't have ordinarily gone to and lots of interesting skills taught, as well as generous information and experience shared by instructors during the week.
It's been a fruitful eight-day journey and I thank you very much for your efforts made during the week.
Not enough time to learn everything! I want to know more! Run a second course please!
Really love the course, learned lots of new things and excited to continue to learn! I know in circumstances, it didn't allow this but having some downtime, and doing a solo would have been awesome. I could have initiated this myself, but wasn't sure it was my place to.
It is a very unique course here in Hong Kong. The pacing was wonderful not as rushed on intense as other OB courses. Much better than I anticipated plus makes it different and unique.
Harrison is very happy to have joined the course which was most exciting, challenging and enjoyable, and gained valuable experience in life. He missed his caring and inspiring leaders especially Paul, Lance, Sandy and Cindy a lot! A big clap to them!
What drives me through life is always trying to find different perspectives in different situations. By doing this, it really opens my eyes and challenges my perception of the world. For example, by sailing through Victoria Harbour, it really showed Hong Kong in a different angle. I always thought Hong Kong was a very big city and it took a long time to travel to various places. But by sailing, I realised how small it is. Crossing the sea, I found myself in a completely different city, with its unique history and culture.
Thank you, Emma, the Master and Musa for all your guidance, support and training given to Isaac during the Youth Sea Course. Isaac has shared with us his wonderful experience on board the Spirit. He did enjoy his Youth Sea Course and all the challenges on board the Spirit very much. I believe this sea training will give a very positive impact to Isaac in his growth and development. I hope that Isaac can keep up his positive attitude in the course towards his study and career.
During our journey, we had to overcome lots of difficulties and it required our team spirit. There were lots of challenges that we had to conquer.
Hamish enjoyed the camp very much and he missed the group, the teachers and everything. He already asked me when to enroll the next camp. Hope he didn't bring much trouble to the team! Thanks to all the teachers and staff who took good care of him and the group especially during typhoon period.
She really enjoyed the course and is doing very well. I think she has really changed a lot since I first met her. I chose her to go to Hong Kong because she wrote in the exam for our class that during our class it was the first time she had felt valued as a person. I asked her what she learnt from the course and she said that she learnt that she could do a lot more than she thought before. Thanks a lot to everyone.
As a team, I know we had to support each other and ready to give your hand all the time.
