Kawau Island

One morning my group called Kawau went sailing for the first time. As we were getting ready to go sailing we saw the first group putting out the food for afternoon tea. When we were getting ready they told us to come and have afternoon tea. I was so excited to go sailing in a little boat but I thought it would be scary for me because I thought I was gonna fall out. When we got there this man called Peter talked to us about safety and told us how to sail the boat.

"Who wants to go solo," Peter asked us. There were four people that were up for the challenge! Ramona was called up to hop in a boat. She sailed the boat out and as she was sailing Peter yelled out, "teller to the sail." Ramona followed his instructions but turned around too early and fell out of the boat with a splash. Finally Peter called the last person to go solo. It was so funny because two people fell out of their boat and I laughed so hard when they did.

After all the solo sailors, Peter told us to get into twos and then find you a boat to sail on. Tui and I grabbed a boat and hopped in it. When Tui and sailed off we passed people who were kayaking. Tui looked behind her and she saw a sting ray!
"Senolita lets hurry and get back were Peter is!" We got back as fast as we could. I think Tui was afraid of the sting ray.
