Dear bloggers,

Last Friday we started with a nice race. There wasn't a lot of wind, but just enough to let the kids start.

At the second mark one of the opis was going ahead with some boatlenghts, but soon after the second mark Jerry, who was lying third, took over the first place. Now Jerry was leading and sailed three nice rounds. But just a couple meters before the finish, the wind changed from direction and three boys overtook Jerry. Finally Ben became the winner.

The race was fantastic!

To end a nice week we learned them the knots. We also explained the different types of boat of the olympic games and to finish we let them show a nice movie about sailing.

After the lessons we had to hurry to catch our train to Beijing!! Mao here we come...
