Yachting 2014 Part 2

Cameron is in control!

The most exciting thing about optimist yachting was capsizing because you would get really wet. Kayla
Me and Julius went together for the first round we were going good until…. He started screaming and I got a massive fright which caused us to capsize. Mary
Something I was pleased with was that last year I didn't like going yachting that much and this year I went yachting more. Crystal
Something that made me think was which way I should go, in optimist yachting, to catch the wind. Elijah

On Tuesday we went kayaking and we had a race and Traylan and I won the race. George

Today there was a little bit of wind, I went with 3 people and then I went by myself and when you go by yourself you go faster than going with 3 people. Jack

Dear diary. I got hit by the boom really bad because I was bringing a yacht in and the boom swung and hit my head! Jacob

It was so fun - 100% James

The best yachting buddy that I had in yachting was Jack. Traylan

Something I was pleased with was being able to go on a yacht for the first time because I thought I didn't have the courage to. Maia

Me and Jack just about capsized today and it was not funny. Liam

Ok let me get right to the point, the best one was yachting because it was my first time on one and I had been kayaking before. Rosemary

It was so sad because today was our last day of optimist yachting. But the best bit is that I get to do it next year. Kyra

I really enjoyed learning how to yacht because it is very fun & hard. Zach

"Something I was pleased with was jumping out of a yacht when it was capsizing and getting tipped out of a kayak." Cameron
"Something that made me think was where to go because I didn't want to go into the wind." Tracey
"I really enjoyed the Yachting and Kayaking and I wish I could do it every day of the week!" Taylor

"I went out by myself and kept tipping almost over since I couldn't balance the boat out and I got tangled in the mainsheet." Ben
We set sail out in the deep blue water. "You're a natural Briar," said Traylan steering the boat. Briar
"I was very happy when I went back to shore, I was proud of myself for going out further than I imagined." Matilda
"Something I was pleased with was capsizing a yacht because I have never capsized before." Jaidyn

Ready to Kayak!

We are having a wonderful week optimist yachting and kayaking! Here are some snapshots taken on my phone at 8.30 yesterday morning, just before we hit the water in our kayaks. Look at the enthusiasm! More posts to come as we track down some photos...

Land Yachting?

Take it easy. Taylor's not stressed.

Tomorrow we go optimist yachting. Here are a few examples of what not to do. Check out this page for more useful information.
