Super Sailing!!!

The sun was shining, the wind finally swooped in and the lake was as calm as could be. The boats were lined up and the gear was all ready to rig up. I grabbed the blue boat and the gear and was ready for another morning of sailing. I got my life jacket and my spray jacket on, had a quick bite out of my delicious chocolate cake and stared out to the other side.


Into the cold water with the algae in between my toes I set off into the center of the lake with other sailors in front of me and behind me. The wind was not very strong but I was going by my furious moving of the rudder.


Around all the buoys I struggle to get back to shore. Now the wind has picked up strongly and people around me are capsizing on accident. Renee is near me and we are screaming until finally the rescue boat comes and rescues us. They grab our rope and pull us to shore.


I finish my delicate chocolate cake and a muesli bar and we are ready to go out on to the water again. I refuse but get forced into the boat again. Cold and wet I finish the day with a bad note, Capsizing!
