optimas yachting

day 1 : 14.11.2018   

I tenei ra (today) is the Tuatahi (first)day for room 16 / 17 to go optimist yachting.  Kingston and I went together and we felt like getting soaked

. After rere(sailing)  like pros we, decided to ask Mr Russ if we could capsize .

Mr Russ got us in to an open space and said in a gentle voice,

“Kingston, move to the front of the yacht and hold on to the  mast and tight.” He pulls back…” pene!

(bang)

Within seconds we are soaked and now the hard part... to flip that yacht. We hold on to the centerboard, then kick our feet up on the bottom of the bright karaka ( orange) yacht.  We lean back. plop. The yacht is ready to sail again apart from the yacht being half full of disgusting salt water.

We get called into the shore to go tubing.
