A Sailing Experience
It was a gloomy forecast for sailing as the Years 7 and 8 of Saint Patrick school hop onto the bus towards the sailing venue. When we got to our destination, we got greeted by the lovely people Holly, Colin, Robbie and Kim. We also got greeted by our sponsors of St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand. Thanks to them for sponsoring our class so we can experience the fun of sailing. Thank you for coming and taking the time out of your day to talk to us. As I got with my partner Giselle, we pushed our boat into the water. The ground was super slippery. We both tried our best to make it there without slipping but it was tricky. We hopped in the boat and it already nearly tipped over so we had to balance the boat, it was very hard to do. After we had lunch, we got in the boat again and Holly told us to push the boat more into the water. After pushing the boat for about 5 minutes we made no progress (I don't know why) the water was pushing us to the side. Giselle and I just hopped into the boat and tried to sail with the others and we both fell out of the boat AGAIN and stared to push the boat as we swam. When we finally got to the deep side, we got on and sailed again which ended up with us two falling off but this time the boat came along. Once again thank you so much to St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for sponsoring us and letting us have a fun experience.
