Yacht Race

As the yachts Danaide, Sunstone, Truxton, Peligian 2, Surreal, Expedition Copellia and Vingilot lined up for the third leg Revs meanwhile was being a show off.  As we hopped aboard the Casteaux we began to get a bit superstitious because Rastus had bananas. It was calm but it still bounced when the water lapped against the boat.                                                                                                        
“Party poppers” we yelled. “This is so much fun.”

Then the starting horn signaled that they had a minute to go.

Beep! Go!  The fleet of yachts left Oban and we saw lots of different designs. Tim and Cameron in the Surreal cruised past us with the music blaring. Soon the boats were just dots on the horizon.


 “Its time to go back now.” said Rastus.


 “Lets play standing long jump.” I said. As we lined up everyone was excited. Now its my turn. I jump as far as I can and swing my arms and as I land I hear Ms J say “The record.”
 “Yes!” I said.


This has been an incredible day.
