It was evening and the breeze was soft. The sun, a golden ball, was setting. .The soft rocking of the sea was enough to lull someone to sleep and the water around them almost undisturbed looked like jelly.
yes I did it.
on the soft sea’s I was sailing today.
after a few days of preparation starting on Monday, we were getting ready.
I woke up (as you do when you are not dead) and knew that I was going ‘sailing’
I had heard only bad things about it, so my expectations were not high. (that is what happens when you listen to moody 13-year-old teens who just sit around playing games all day)
so the first day we got there, got changed and got in the boat. setting off? no, no, no, no YOU FOOL!
we must practice the setting up of the boat and rigging the sails and blah blah blah. that took an entire day.
day 2 consisted of us arriving and then looking outside and seeing the huge waves thunder over the harbour walls and thought… no.
so that day consisted of staying inside and learning how to tie knots. it was not even a full day we spent one half doing knots and then they kicked us out at lunchtime and so we had our final lesson (which was English). English had the teacher going through a book which we are all enjoying (he is a jolly good reader) and explains how things are and work. but he got to the point of off-track that the train was on another planet.
which got me thinking about happiness. ( which I mentioned in my last blog)
anyway it was all on the last day where we got out to see, in our banana costume oil things, and set off to the sea. We had fun and sailed around a bit and learnt some things about wind direction. such as how we cannot sail directly to where the wind is coming from and how we cannot go directly away from the wind. but all in all, it was time. we sailed back in.
its quiet.
we have had a new boy he is blonde, and is an ok guy nothing much to say though other than, he is going to the DARK SIDE of Duffus. with the kind of kids who would go Basher Baiting and all of that shenanigans.
I am getting tyred my eyelids are falling, its time to go to bed.
