On the Thursday and Friday of week 9 the year 10 Outdoor Education class travelled to Port Augusta for our sailing camp. On the way up the weather was very cold and wet but by the time we got there the sun was shining. One day we learnt how to set up and take apart the sailing boats, then we sailed for 3 sessions learning how to properly sail and capsize, which we all really enjoyed. We learnt how to do a beam reach, which is sailing across the wind then turning around before continuing to do this. Thursday night we cooked ourselves tea, the smell of Spaghetti Bolognese and burger patties filled the air. After tea we had a dessert cook off, Jaxon and Oscar took the win with fruity dessert toasties. Day two we talked about the weather, so everyone knew that there was a chance of a thunderstorm, and what we would do if the storm began. We only had one session on Friday since the weather wasn't the greatest. We packed up the boats and washed them off then had warm showers before the journey home. We completed some reflections before saying a big thank you to Emily, Steven and Simon from the Port Augusta Aquatic Centre.
