Sailing

Hi everyone,

In my spare time I go sailing. It's not an active sport like hockey, basketball or soccer but it's a very nice sport to do.

It's all about concentration and looking where you're going. Also you have to know all the terms like what a boom is and where the mainsheet is and what it's used for.

The 'boom' is named after the sound it makes when it hits you're head! As it is called a BOOM!

The rope 'main sheet' is used to speed up or down by pulling the rope or releasing it.

When I return to the shore, I see the sunset like at the picture underneath. At that point I feel happy that I live so close to the sea. Sometimes fish are trapped inside my boat. At first I didn't know how to save them, but now I do.

It's too hard to hold them because the fish are slippery and misunderstand you by thinking you want to kill them. So what you should do is see where the closest  place to let them into the water is and them lay you hand at the opposite. Now you should swipe your hand towards the fish with some speed until the fish gets thrown of board.

It sounds mean but this saves them.
