BBYC SAILING ADVENTURE
On the 30th of November 5 room 1 students and some room 3 and 2 students went sailing in the morning. We went on the bus to little bucks and to have a great time and learn to sail. I was sailing in the optimist solo.
I was turning and swirling around and at one point I had the bailer in my hand and I was scooping water out of the ocean and wetting the other sailing pairs.
Later we had our very first race I was holding a solid 2nd place but as we turned Douw cut me off so I came 4th overall which made me pretty empressed.The next race we had 3 minutes to prepare so i sailed around the outside of all the boys and then sailed all the way back and by the time i was in the best position to start the race was off,I was in the lead but it was hard to maintain my lead when everyone was gaining so much on me but luckily I maintained and WON! The next race I failed miserably and came last unfortunately but I still had hope next race i was leading by a mile and a half but suddenly Henry and Aidan were right behind me and they were getting closer every single minute then I let sail out and wosh i was gaining everything back and i won with a great big smile on my face.The next races I came 2 and 3 which i was pleased with,then we came back to shore and we had to use all our strength to pull the optimists on to the beach so the tide wouldn't pull the boat out to sea. I had a great day as well as everyone else.
