Was at the sailing club again yesterday (its a ritual). However, the idiotic engine on First Light broke down so we couldn't bring the boat out for a spin. And there wasn't much wind so we couldn't have an 'engine-free' sailing. So.....in the end, unc Kok Hwa told me to bring David out for a spin on a Laser. I used a Laser Pico though coz a Laser would be too small for the both of us. Anyway, after a few seconds of blissful sailing, the wind like died on us. So I had to constantly turn back so we wouldn't like drift into the shipping channel and get like run over by some ferry or tanker. OK.............So we were slow, with not much wind, so the boat couldn't drain fast enough. While 'inching' back to shore, I realised that we were kind of sinking (coz both of us aren't exactly light). That really kicked me off. In the end, we were quite desperate to reach shore so david started paddling with his hand(not much help) and I started blowing on the sails(even less help), I even suggested tying the boat's rope to david and making him swim to shore to quicken up the half-sunken Laser Pico's pace. Its like the worst sailing day i've ever had so far. Hopefully the engine on First Light functions on thurs when im bringin Sarah and Daniel out.
Anyway.........had a nice bbq dinner after the idiotic sailing saga and some swimming.
