On a tropical hot summer day with the sun shining bright and beaming down on the water, boats and motor crafts make waves in the beautiful and extensive blue lake. The knees resting on the tube are trailing behind the craft, screaming and yelling due to excitement.

The people go from calm to scared, with a sense of happiness in between. As it moves left or right, outside the wake, the craft takes a tight turn. It’s on its side, but still manages to stay afloat. We lose the first, they fall in the water then hop on the craft. The others stay, continuing to go from left to right, excited, nervous, and happy — all words to describe the emotions and feelings from the various people riding in the craft or on the cylinder-shaped tube with people kneeling on the tube nervous they may fall off.

The tall, towering, large, huge, substantial and far-reaching waves are approaching us. The cylinder tube is beginning to move faster, and the waves are fast approaching. The cylinder tube rides over the waves but the waves were too coordinated, one after the other, for them to stay on. One person falls into the water, decides to get back on the craft. I remain on the tube, riding at a fast-paced speed as other crafts are creating more and more highly tall waves with the cylinder-shaped tube perhaps not going to make it. I remain on the tube, having a jolly grand time, with the feelings of delight, cheer, content and happiness all running through my head.

We eventually decide to bring the craft into the shore. As we do, we witness the other crafts peacefully moving around the waterway, with people having an enjoyable and relaxed time. The ideas of happiness, excitement and amazing that may come to mind occasionally is a perfect example of something that takes place on Benoir Lake. As we make it to the shore, we witness the amazing water qualities, the temperature, the colour and the atmosphere around the waterway. The feelings people are feeling makes for a great day on the boat and on the waterhole.
