Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

The inside of the Danger Shop was set up to look like a large lake with a number of small boats bobbing on the water. Bond stood on a pier extending out into the lake, double-checking a pile of life jackets.

"Today you'll be sailing," he began once the class had arrived. "Dinghies to be precise, as they're small and easy enough to handle, especially in conditions like this, but can still provide something of a challenge for those of you with some experience."

Climbing into a nearby dinghy, Bond went on to demonstrate the proper sailing technique, explaining the ins and outs to the students. After returning to the pier he continued with "There are both two and one man dinghies here, so you can work either by yourself or with a partner, depending on how confident you feel. Do, however, remember to put on a life jacket before you get into the boat."

Listen to the Lecture - SurSki [Week 10]

[doubleohblonde]

Or just admire Bond's technique.

Liir looked at the whole matter like one might observe an alien craft landing in the middle of a cornfield.

That is to say with some trepidation, quite a bit of wonder, and absolutely no idea how it all worked.

After a couple of weeks of pouring over the Sailing for Dummies book Karal had given him, Ender was a little intrigued by the subject matter, but otherwise unimpressed, if utterly focused.

Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[doubleohblonde]

Solo, or pair up!

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

Gavin slowly climbed into a boat and hoped this thing didn't toss him out like the freaking horse did.

Hurley climbed into a boat. He sat in said boat.

"...Dude, I'm so gonna suck at this," he said.

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You and I both," he said with a wince as he looked at the boat.

"Do you want to look for someone else to help you or someone who'll possibly be more inept than you are to make you feel better?"

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Depends, dude. I'll just go with whichever of those means you'll be my partner," Hurley said with a laugh.

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

"Decidedly the second," he said as he made his way into the boat.

"My country has no oceans, and the major lakes are in something of a rather desperate position at the moment."

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Desperate?" Hurley said. "That sounds bad."

"The main water source, or rather, the area of the country that contains it, has broken away from the rest of Oz."

Free Munchkinland had some communication and trade, but not much.

"...that sounds bad," Hurley said.

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"There are others, thankfully," he admitted, "and rain, obviously, wells and such. But Kellswater is the biggest real 'lake' you'd speak of."

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"So, no real sailing to speak of, got it," Hurley said. "I grew up on the coast, but... yeah."

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"The coast... that sounds rather nice," he admitted as he settled in his seat.

"I've rather come to like the sea."

This was totally outside the realm of Helen's experience. Still, she was willing to give it a shot.

She wouldn't mind a partner though.

Triela waved and walked over.

Re: Sail! - SurSki [Week 10]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Triela," Helen said. "Please tell me you know how to sail."

Talk to Bond - SurSki [Week 10]

[doubleohblonde]

He's watching to make sure you don't drown, even with the safeties on.

"I'd like to apologize for missing class last week," Dean said. "My Fandom little brother's mother died and I went with him back to the funeral."

Talk to the TA - SurSki [Week 10]

[doubleohblonde]

After he pings in.

Gavin was there, doing his TA thing.

OOC - SurSki [Week 9]

[doubleohblonde]

For OOC things.
