My Sailing!

Just last week, I went sailing at the ABC. There was a lot of wind, but it rained most of the time. That was o.k. because it's the monsoon! Anyway, mostly we sailed around bouys and did '8' and ∆. We learnt alot about beating, running, reaching, leward, windward, tacks, jibes, no-go-zone, port, starboard, ect, ect.


That's us playing 'sink the boat'- testing how many people can get into an optimist before it sinks.


That's me and the rest of the course participants sailing like ducklings in a pond.


And that's me, far, far ahead while the rest of the participants got towed by the speedboat back tto the slipway.

Well done Alec! You must have picked up some of your grandfather's nautical genes.
