To Sea

Blimey, it's been a while since the last post. Well I've been busy, but enough of that another time. Last night the sailing club went out on a tall ship for several hours, and I got shanghaied into coming along as well. Out to sea (well lake, but it doesn't sound so good) on a boat with lots of sails, ropes and other thingies that I have no idea what they do. I just spent the time getting out of the way while everyone else did their, well, thing.
Still out onto the water, and still was the word to begin. Very little wind so we didn't really get very far. It took about an hour and a half to get the sails all up and running, however it's a training ship so the crew were teaching everyone else how to do everything. Then we did sail out in the lake a little bit.Eventually we had to come back once the thunder and lightning started over the end of the lake. Coming back in we were presented with a fabulous light show from the, rapidly, approaching storm. It unfortunately got to us about five minutes before we got to dock, so it was a slightly damp end to the evening. Actually it was a very damp end, I've not been so wet in a long long time. At least not clothed.
