My summer sailing camp at the Naval Academy got canceled >.< My best friend and I went there last year, and it was so much fun.

We literally ran around with a panini press and chatted with our dorm mates the entire time >.< And then the amount of times she fell out of the boat wasn't even funny. That, and she accidentally rammed the boom into another boat's skipper and I'm 90% sure she gave him a minor concussion.

Those were good times.

NO! that sounds like so much fun-
(I surprised myself from remembering what a boom is from my one singular boating lesson XD)

I just realized my chickens can see more colors than me and now I'm jealous-

Ha - yeah, it went like this:

(I will call my friend 'Pear' for the sake of her privacy. long story )

.

We were switching off being the Skipper and crew. Skipper controls the rudders, while crew controls the jib and balance of the boat. It was her turn to be Skipper, so I was chilling in the front with the sails. We where heading towards another boat that was caught in irons. Pear was shouting to someone on another boat asking them a question, and she didn't see the boat in front of us.

me: "you need to turn left -"

pear instinctively pushes the rudder left. Which makes us go right. By some miracle, she last minute manages to miss the boat, but because we switched tack, the wind changes and the boom comes swinging across. I duck, and she ducks, but the skipper of the other boat doesn't duck. It smacks him over the head and he falls out.

My friend thought she killed him, shouted frantic apologies, but we were already sailing away.

the end ^^

The guy was all good, by the way. He only needed an ice pack -

wow. Hit and run I see.

yes ma'am.

None of us could tell whether to laugh or desperatly apologize. He pretty much popped above the water and was just -

"I'm oKaY"

So we assumed he was alright. I've never let my friend live it down, though xD

If it weren't for Corona and if we wouldn't be moving to Germany I'd force my mom to find this thing so I could join you- sounds like so much fun!

Oh my gosh it's awesome! People were coming from Arizona, Louisina, Georgia, Wisconsin (I mean, it is the Naval Academy, so -). We were pretty much the only people that were Marylanders. It is kinda expensive, though, and we had to save up for it - but it's completely worth it.

Adoptions.
