So this week in sailing camp i sailed a rhodes 19 in the morning and went out with the opti people in the afternoon..... i went out on an opti yesterday........... but there was no sail on it (we were being towed) and the opti got capsized (but we weren't in it) also yesterday was pirate day and Hayley and Geneva and I tired to say arghhhhhhhhhhh after every sentence it was quite hard actually and then we had a battle. We all sailed our boats (rhodes 19 or optis or prams) into the "battle field" and soaked eachother with water guns.......at first only the people who were in the optis or prams were allowed to go in the water but since it was the last day, our counsler was just like watevah you guys can go in....then in the afternoon nobody really wanted to sail we just wanted to swim and stuff so we took the prams out without any sails and our counselor, Joe, just towed us out. But since we were in prams, you still have to steer them and my friend, Jack, was in the boat behind us and he was like look at my mad steering skills and then i was like yeah! It almost looks like you're being towed.... I sorta felt bad for him cuz when we went swimming later everyone (including the other opti class) went over to capsize him and Jame's boat. But i don't feel that bad because they capsized our boat after Just in case anyone was wondering (Matt) the camp i went to was @ Edgewood Yacht Club Also i wanted to show you this really funny video that my friend showed me:

AHHHHHHHHH!!!
So today was random word (and point) day at camp and it was like a very weird day.... I only sailed for about 1 mintue (didn't feel very well) and then Hayley finally capsized but she forgot to say weeeeeeeeeee and then later that day Hayley capsized AGAIN (and again if you count the time right after she capsized and as soon as she got it up it fell over again) but she looked really good out there today considering it was a little windy out. Then this kid named Teddy capsized because he needed the bailer to bail some water out of his boat and Hayley was still bailing water out of her boat and then this kid named James kept yelling for the bailer becuase he was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy far out in the bay (sorta) and his boat was sinking. And this kid Jack's finger was wicked swollen i guess because someone stepped on it while he was playing kick ball and this girl Geneva fell through this crack in between the two docks and scraped herself and hurt her elbow (but she went sailing anyways :]) So random word day (bunny) (haha it's a random word) was like a soap opera
