Today we will start our adventure and sail out of the harbour. We will be using two huge sails to power the boat forward through the waves towards the horizon. The sails catch the wind and whoosh, we are off.
There are only a few clouds today, so the sky is pale blue and the seas are a deep turquoise. Suddenly two dolphins leap out of the water and swim forward then quickly disappear again. We scanned the surface but they only wanted to get a peek of the yacht this time. Perhaps we will see them again later.
A strong breeze blew through the sails and we moved quickly out to sea with no other boats in view. We had to concentrate on the sails to keep them angled correctly.
It was time to return to the harbour because stronger winds were coming tomorrow and we had to be safe in sheltered waters. And we were not alone. Look what was anchored in the middle of the river.
And a lifeboat whizzed past on a rescue mission. We’re glad to be back after a good sail around the bay.
