Sailing...


Well yesterday John, Steve and I woke up to a 30knot pus wind and looked at each other wondering if they would still want 3 inexperienced crew members onboard the vessle that day. Sure enough the skipper welcomed us onboard with a sly 'its going to be fun today', and indeed it was. In our brightly different coloured suits we looked like the power rangers gang. Sailing with these men was blast, tacking and gybing combined with big waves was a blast, a memory that will stay with me forever.





After that event we got taken on a tour of Osborne House, where Queen Victoria spent most of her time after Prince Albert died. Though with my sea legs on the whole thing seemed to be a giant moving ship, but nonetheless it was a moving and very interesting estate.



Enough for now, i do not know when i wll be able to put more pictures on due to the fact from here we head to bath.





I would Like to thank Chris and Caroline dearly for Housing us for these six nights, we have had a blast, thank you soo much.

Over and out

WOW! Those are some sweet pics...I agree Power Rangers are back! Which special power would you have? (Did Power Rangers even have special powers?). Looks like a blast you guys and you almost look like a real sailor Al. I am assume Kristie was down below screaming with that fair/wakeboarding face.
