Went out on the TI today for the first time. When we picked up the TI the tramps were not in stock so there was 3 people on the boat 2 on the seats and me on the rear storage compartment (I'm 12 years old and mum and dad were in the seats). :lol: :lol:

Beacuse i was on the back and i decided to stand up while we sailed along the franston beach i fell out into the drink how fabulous. :D :D. because this was my first time falling over board and i also stunk in the cords i stressed so much. :x :x :x :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

Thanks guys.
When Stephanie went in the drink I thought it was all over :? No more sailing for her. But this morning she is pestering me to get out in the TI and try again (no falling in).

She has just informed me as I am typing that she intends to stand up :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Looks like she may have another swim :D

That's great Paul! Stephanie is the same age as my son Kobi, she sounds very spirited! I think Stephanie might be the first to practise MOB techniques on the TI? 8)

Well Day 2 out in the TI was great; not much wind, so we were out for about 2hours then we paddled back (nice day though).

I have an SLR camera and day 1 I had the shutter speed so slow that everything was over exposed (just a white spot). Day 2 I forgot to put in the batteries :evil: I guess that I was thinking do much about not forgetting anything for the TI.

Rebecca As told me Never to tell her off again when she asks if the battery is in. This is the first time she has said nothing because she was sick of me telling her off. Boy am I a fool. LOL
Next week will be better; but if this is as bad as it gets that I am doing well!!! 8)
