Optimist Yachting by Michelle.

Salt water all over my body flows all around me, drips coldly tears of the ocean into the yacht.

The boom swings from side to side, almost hitting us in the face. Seagulls bossy and loud.

The awful, yuck fish smell combined with sweet, aroma air catch my nose.

Tangy salt water goes down my throat for no reason.

Getting closer to shore now and we are the last ones coming in.

 

Optimist yachting by Piper

On Monday 10th year 6's went optimist yachting.

 The water was very cold.Michelle and I nearly capsized. It wasn't that windy that day
so it was hard to sail.

YACHTING by Summer

 I sit on the side of the boat, very excited as can be, as the wind is blowing in my hair,and I can smell a very salty smell coming from the ocean.

As we go out into the ocean, I feel the boat going really fast and the water constantly goes into my shoes.

OPTIMIST YACHTING for Year 6

We are still keen to hear from anyone who can help with transport or supervision in the afternoons down at Pandora Pond this week.  Unfortunately we won't be able to take all the year 6s each day, as we had hoped, because we still don't have enough parent helpers or transport. So we will be rostering the students instead. But it is important that they bring their GEAR EVERY DAY, even if they are not on the roster for that day, just in case we are surprised with extra transporters or supervising parents.
GEAR LIST: Sunhat, sunscreen, sweatshirt, togs and towel. Old smeakers (for wearing in the water), an old woollen jersey or polyprop (next to the skin, to keep warm when wet) or a wetsuit if you have one. A bag to put things in.
We will be leaving school at 12 o'clock each day, if you are coming to help.
It should be a great week!
