America's Cup: But Wait, There's No Wind!

During the America's Cup we had the opportunity to watch a couple of the races and travel under sail ourselves. Or, we tried at least. The racing ended up getting cancelled so our excursion became a quiet afternoon on the water instead.

 

Sailing

Hi Again,

We joined a homeschool sports club that was started in  term 1 this year (Homeschool Sports Auckland South to be exact i think) which did three weeks of sailing at the local sailing club.

I went out on one the boats once, but decided not to go out again.

Lined up being given instructions, etc, before
going down to where the boats are.

The one in the pink hat is Monique, I'm in the black cap,
 holding the rudder.

wierd picture of Monique - she looks like
Thompson and Thomson from the
Tintin comics! =)
