A Sailing Experience
May 10th 2021 was the day we got to experience the wonders of sailing. Straight off the bat I would like to thank St. Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for their sponsorship that made this day happen.
Arriving at our destination and stepping out of the bus we were instantly greeted by one of the instructors. He walked us to the assigned place where we were to assemble our boats. A tricky challenge but it was fun.
Straight after assembling our boats, we ate and got changed into our swimmers. We were provided a warm jacket as well as life jacket for our session. They were comfortable and did the job they were made for.
We departed from shore and sailed into the deeper water. Putting my hand in the water i felt it clash with current. Asinate (my partner) and I always laughed at all the mess ups we had, especially round 2 in the water. I pushed our boat off shore and we attempted to get in but we failed when our boat tipped over. We were laughing because it was so funny and we were enjoying ourselves. After sailing the boat around we headed back to shore and once again our boat tipped over.
Finally, once we got to the shore, we got changed and returned the jacket and life jacket. We said our final goodbye and Thank you to the instructors. Returning to school, in my head, I was telling myself what a wonderful experience the day had been.
Showing our skills!
