One of the most exciting things I did on my summer vacationwas to ride in a sailboat race. My friend Lisa does this every
Wednesday evening, but this was my very first time.
Lisa worked in the front of the boat and was kept very busy manning the sails.
There were more than a dozen people in the crew,
scrambling across the deck and pulling ropes
that made the sails go up and down.
I rode in the back, taking pictures of other boats in the race.
The boats were the prettiest when the spinnaker sails went up.
This boat named "Rocket" came in Second Place.
Our 35 ft. boat "Time Bandit" WON the race!

It was a wonderful experience.
