Sailing

Yesterday we went sailing with the volvo have a go sailing group. We arrived in the begging of the afternoon and he showed us how to rig up an optimist. After this we got into pairs and choose a boat. Me and Cameron got to go on a boat by ourselves though because we have been heaps before. When we got onto the water we found that a steady breeze was blowing not enough to tip an optimist though (unless you were really terrible). We started by following him around in our yachts for a while taking and Jibing all the time it was really annoying especially with only one person (those are two types of steering) then we played a ball game. It worked by having teams of three yachts and you had to pass the ball between all the boats on your team then you could score. I found it super hard because I had to control the steering, the sail and grab the ball by myself! overall I had a really good time and left with only two sore legs and a cut on my knee!
