Day 4 - "We are sailing.... again!"

Day four has turned out to be yet another fun filled day for us! We walked down to Fairlop Waters again, all excited at the activities that laid ahead.

When we arrived at the sailing centre, Phil (the instructor), told Miss Simmonds we were going to be doing the same thing as Tuesday but Miss Simmonds wanted us to try something different so today we had the chance to go sailing again, but with the large and small sail on the boat this time and then open canoeing in the afternoon.

We were shown how to attach the large sail to the mast and how we were going to steer it. It looked very complicated and we found out it was when we got onto the high seas! A few boats had trouble steering and ended up crashing into the boats and the island but it was great fun!

Here are some pictures of us sailing:

After lunch we went Open Canoeing. We had to go into pairs and steer a canoe. It was hard at first but a lot of fun. Phil told us that there was a higher chance of us falling in the water from this activity and gues what..... 5 of us did! Inquiyad, Ian, Callan, Iisa and Felix all had an early bath!

Traffic Jam!

Man overboard!

I don't think Callan enjoyed his early bath!


Videos of the day.

Another great day was had by all.

We are actually quite sad that the week is nearly over, but we are looking forward to the team building morning and cinema afternoon tomorrow!
