Frightening Moment

I had worked as a sub district facilitator in 2007 at Walea Island in the middle of Tomini Bay, the wonderful place that I had not ever seen this before. I really enjoyed in this moment, as a facilitator, I had chance to view the unique place and community. It also gives me another lesson about how to manage the community during the activity.
However, it is also worrying me, because this is my first job that brought me far away from my home, in middle of the ocean. I remember the first day of mobilization. I and my friend in a team did not have any idea about what kind of area that we want to go. After sailing with big enough boat at least 12 hours finally we arrived in our island, the small one, lovely but it seems like isolated area.
Both of us had responsibility to manage the program in five different villages, but in fact, we were shocked, because those villages were separated in different islands. I remember when we had to go for our task in the outer island. It was almost dark when the boat that was used to take us back. I scarily get in that boat, the smallest boat with just one little machine.
It was so very dark when we were start to sailing in middle of the ocean. Fortunately I brought my little flash light, so we can use it to give signal to the other boat that might be pass (with hope the big boat would not be hit us because of the dark). The sailing was so very enjoyable with night wind and low wave, but suddenly it was became frightening when my friend was screaming and told to us that the water in already at our boat, the boat was leaking!!!. Oh my God…it was really scared me, in the dark and middle ocean even less I am not good swimmer. Drawn in the middle of the ocean then would be food by shark and another predator fish…oh my God I never imagined that before. So I was starting to entertain my self with long pray. Anyway we were starting to eliminate the water and thank God it worked so finally we could arrived save. But this would be my unforgettable and frightening moment.
