My First Time Sailing






On Wednesday morning we went to Okahu Bay to do sailing. It was great and so much fun too
We learnt how to sail a boat and to wear a buoyancy vest to be safe. The name of the sailing coaches were Steve, Justin, and JR.

Our boat was called an Optimist (or Opti), you needed to balance the Opti because if you didn't balance the boat you would into the water. The second boat was a called Topaz (or Taz). The Taz is the same as the Opti boat but bigger and had no back to it. We did some fun activities while we were sailing. It was my first time sailing and I realized how amazing it was to ride in a boat. I know that I want to learn more and I feel happy because I learnt so much my first time sailing.

Many Thanks to the Lion Foundation, Rotary, Volvo and Zhik for sponsoring the day.
