Paddling With the Intha

    Unbelievable! So you tried this Joey? If so, did you fall in? Did anybody fall in? Did you catch anything?

      Yes I tried it! Don’t think I’m a master yet though, our captain grabbed a hold of us so we didn’t fall in. No fish, but I did go swimming and catch a few hand fulls of seaweed.
