Howdy! We kicked the day off with some hearty eggs from Sela. Soon after, we geared up for a looooong sailing day. Emma, Garry, and Sela split us up into three watch teams. Team 1: Molly, Lainey, Anna, and Gabe. Team 2: Wylie, Julia, Maia, and Arthur. Team 3: Nathan, Alexander, Bryce, and William. As we sailed, we took turns getting to know each other and sharing funny stories. Emma taught us how to set up the sails inside of the POWER TOWER, and we all took turns at the helm. We learned how to set and strike the sails, and all took turns having a role in tacking the boat.
Lainey even led the group through unfurling the jib, and Julia was at the helm for raising the main sail. For lunch, we had some delicious PBandJs (and hot sauce). After lunch, we swam off the boat. Arthur had the most elegant dives, and Gabe had some crazy flips of the dinghy. After that, we sailed another couple hours, and William and Maia started to cook a delicious 3-course meal. We are classy here on Beso- pinkies always up to accompany the jazz music in the background of our dimly light dinner with waterfront views. Starting with salad, then some scrumdiddlyumptious alfredo pasta complemented with hot dawgs and sautéed greens. Finishing with some perfectly toasted garlic bread. Best dinner so far. For squeeze, we all talked about our most memorable diving experience and ended up barking and howling to finish it off. Now we are cleaning up the boat and getting ready for bed.
