Sailing At Kawau

I was getting ready for sailing, I was so excited because I love sailing.When our group went over to the boat shed  we went running because wanted to  get a life jacket quickly so we could have more time sailing. Then we went and sat on the wall so Peter could teach us how to sail the type of boats we were going to sail. After he talked about safety we needed to let go of the sail if we thought we were going to tip. If we did tip he told us we had to stay with our boat because it floats and then someone would come and help us. When we got into the boat we sailed to the pontoon and put the center board down. Then we started to sail to an adult in a kayak. When we got to that adult  we turned around in a special way which is called "tiller to the sail" which makes you turn around so the sail goes to the opposite of your partners head.
