On Monday the 11th of November the year 6, 7 & 8's of Te - Kinga participated in the 'Have A Go Sailing' program. I myself have been sailing before because of this program from previous years so I had some prior knowledge stored in my pocket. When we arrived at the Yacht Club we were kindly greeted by Simon, the organizer of the whole program. He taught us how to set up a yacht and how to sail. I knew this stuff, so it was kind of a revision. After we suited up we jumped into the water. One person had to be an "Anchor" and the other had to put the trailer back. My sailing buddy was Bridget, here's her blog

Most of the time we were screaming at each other because the boat was either going to capsize ( well we thought ) or we were just having too much fun in general. Whilst gliding on the water we heard two squeaky squeals, we looked around and discovered that those squeals were coming out of the mouths of Jakob & Kyle. My favourite parts of the whole experience was walking on the underwater jetty and jumping off, screaming at Bridget, chucking water at other people with the bailer and sailing in general. If you have the opportunity to go sailing I suggest you go for it because it's a great experience to get involved in if you haven't gone sailing before.
