It is a hard life sitting on a 35 ft Yacht in the middle of Wellington Harbor

Holding on for my life as my side of the boat was tipped into the water.
Our Boat
One of the afternoons Rachaels step-dad aranged for us to go out on his friends 35ft yacht. This was really fun as I had never been on a big yacht before. It was quite scary for me and the rest of the folks on board when I was handed the stick thing and told to steer. (i realise that there is a proper name for the 'stick thing' and probably a proper word for steering) I have watched on TV when a yacht is going fast and one side is fully out of the water. Yea this happened to me but I didn't mean for it to happen. Plus I didn't know how to not make it happen. It is funny when you look up and the folks at the top are fighting to hold on cause they can't get any grip on their feet. I laughed out loud at them. Fun times. I would definately go sailing again.
