Sailing

On the 1st of May our class went sailing at Okahu Bay for the whole day.

When we arrived at sailing our class got a pep talk from the

instructors who were Steve, Justin and JR. They showed us

how to rig up the Optimist. After they showed us we had to rig our own

boats. Once the boats were set up we got changed into a wet suit and had morning tea.

Once morning tea was finished we launched the boats. After the boats were

launched we sailed around for an hour or two. During sailing I enjoyed the

blue water but the best part was sailing by myself because I had more control.

When we were done we dragged the boats back onto shore and had lunch. After

lunch we sailed for a half and hour or more then we dragged the boats in again to

disassemble them  and get changed. We said bye to our instructors then left.

Many thanks to the Lion Foundation, Rotary, Volvo and Zhik for

sponsoring the day.
