Sailing

Gazing at the glistening blue water urgently wanting to go out in the bright little sailboat with Logan. When Ken had easily shown the other kids how to sail now it was our turn.

Logan was doing the strong wooden rudder and I was doing the main sheet (the main sheet is a long rope that controls the sail) we had to go around 2 bobbing yellow buoys in a figure of 8. Logan and I were going fast my bony elbow was outside the bright boat and it got dipped in the cold glistening water sending a chill up my arm. Logan and I swapped jobs after every 2 long laps. After 8 laps I got out into the crammed safety boat with Mr Jones. So Logan could sail by himself for a little while. Logan did 3 laps then everyone had to get to the rocky shore after that we gathered up all the gear and heaved it up to get washed with the powerful hose. Then we had 7 minutes to get ready to leave for school. Mana, Travis and I were the first ones to school. We were waiting for the rest of the people to arrive at school. Mrs Broughton handed out some notices when everyone got back to school. Then the deafening bell rang and all the kids burst out of their classes ending the school week.



Impact The moment when… the coffee table made impact I couldn’t feel it at all. Suddenly I saw blood dripping off my hair like rain dripping off a tree. I touched the top of my head and a puddle of blood was swirling around my head. I stared into the mirror and seen a gigantic crack in my head fright ran through me. I ran and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my head and grabbed a bucket and put my head in it so the bucket catches the loose drips of blood.
