Well Sunday the 2nd came really fast and as I said before I was really excited about going sailing, but I was also really nervous about going.
Now if you don't know me very well, I don't get nervous about many things. In fact, the last time I was that nervous, was my and Andy's first date. As my best friend Dani will know I was pretty bad.
When we got down there (by the way Andy came with me) we had to wait a bit for everyone to turn up, which didn’t help with my nerves, I wouldn't let Andy leave my side which he found very funny.
They told me I would be on there boat called The Hawk, which didn’t mean much to me but everyone else seemed happy with it. Once we got changed and got our life jackets on, we were off. As we went out there was no wind at all which I have to admit I didn't mind a bit. After a while they asked me if I would like to have a go at helming. To those of you, like me, who have no idea what helming is, it is steering. I do have to add I got told off for calling it steering so we will keep to helming for now.
While I was helming the wind picked up a bit. I was really pleased with myself, as I didn’t make anyone fall out and I found it really fun. Still don’t think I would like to be on a smaller boat, but who knows, maybe with a bit more time, I will give it a go.
We were out on the boats for about 3 hours which flew by, for me anyway. Andy was still sat on the shore waiting for me.
Everyone seamed really nice and friendly to both of us, and I really enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing for myself what they do. I will definitely be going again, but I do have to focus on my training at the moment.
I will write again when I go for another walk or do something just as exciting. Hope I'm not boring you to much, as we still have 10 months to go.
