Yacht Race

As we get onto the Casteaux we are excited and sad. Why? because of a race around New Zealand with 8 yachts: Sunstone, Danaide, Truxton, Peligian, Revs, Expedition Copellia, Vingilot and probably the schools favorite the Surreal. They are about to start on the third leg of the race around New Zealand.

As we head out to see the yachts leave we see some of the yachts doing 360s and other stuff. We are getting really excited now because all of the yachts are deploying their sails they are turning around coming over to the start line. They have amazing designs on some of the mainsails on the yachts. We are all outside looking at the incredible sight of the yachts.

The first starting horn has been blown and the clock has hit 1:50pm. It won’t be long until the third leg of the race is underway. Now all of the yachts are at the start line the last horn has been blown the third leg of the race is underway.

Oh no Revs are still showing off behind the rest of the boats.  All of them will get a head start. We follow the yachts until we reach the Titi islands and when we turn around Sophie and I start a game of standing long jump. Of course Billy and George get the high scores and we played that game until we reached the wharf.
