On Monday the 10th of May 2021, Room 8 went on a trip to the Akarana Yacht Club at Okahu Bay to learn how to sail. During the ride I felt nervous about whether I would get through the day without any mistakes and learn how to sail.
Although the day didn't help us with no wind and rain that fell after lunch, it didn't make the senior class of St Patrick's School give up. We learned how to get the boat ready by attaching parts together, how to steer and move the boat. We didn't really have enough time to jump off our boats for fun but we had a great time getting wet, laughing and playing games.

I had a wonderful experience sailing and realised that I would like to sail again but with my family. When we got back to school we couldn't stop talking about the day because we had such a great time.
I would thank St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for giving all of us such a fun opportunity to learn some skills about sailing.
Note:
- No child got hurt - just wet.
