First sailing experience

Today, it was our first real day. We started with explaining how you rig the boat. Afterwards every child rigged his own boat with our help. When all the boats were ready the children went for a swim, because some of them had never swum before. Afterwards we went on the water for the first time. It wasn’t easy because we had a land wind and we didn’t have marks. But we sent a local trainer to the shop to buy some stuff like flags, marks, robes and whistles. Now we have all the material we need!

After a tough day we could swim in the swimming pool of Tony, the owner of the real-estate.


After our training lessons we went to the city to do some shopping but the shop already closed (9:30 PM) so we took a cap to go back for 5 Euro (22 km).
Reason: Chinese translator said that the shop was open till 10:00 PM so we went to the Pizza Hut to eat something normal. In china you receive your pizzas 1 by 1.

Greets,
Shanghai team
