Things to Do at the Beach, Galactica Point, Friday Morning

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, everyone," Jarod smiled, standing in front of a row of small two person sailboats. "I hope you all read the information I gave you last week, because you'll need it. These boats are suitable for one or two people, but unless you have experience sailing already, I'm going to require you to take a partner, and a paddle, just because sometimes there's no wind, and you'll want to come back to shore."

"For those of you who want to do more than just sail," he smirked, "I've set up some buoys as an obstacle course so you can practice your tacking and navigation. Just remember your rules of the road so you don't run into each other." He gestured out to the ocean, to a line of red dots bobbing in the water. "Also, don't go beyond the red buoys, just for your own safety."

"If you need me, I'll be out on the water in a kayak with a rope, ready to tow you in if necessary. Have fun, and I've had a great time being your instructor."


[ooc: No Jarod interaction until 6 pm EST tomorrow, but have fun in the meantime!]

Rig the Sailboat

Please don't tie each other to the mast.

Pippi rigs up her adorable little boat.

She's a little concerned about the lack of space for booty in this thing.

"Pippi!" Molly called and skipped over to her. "Can I go with you?"

Re: Rig the Sailboat

"Molly!" Pippi waved. "Of course!"

Having done this last week, Parker rigs up her sailboat pretty well. Then starts eyeing the obstacle course.

This was something Archie could do, no problem. He rigged his sailboat with ease and looked over the obstacle course. In between this and the prospect of leaving for a weekend vacation right afterward, he was a happy, happy boy.

"If anyone needs a sailing partner, I'm glad to oblige," he called out.

"I'll race you around the course, once you're ready?" Parker offered. "Although you'll probably win...." She tried to look sad. Sad, sad.

Re: Rig the Sailboat

Archie laughed and saluted her. "Now that, my dear Miss Parker, is a challenge I can't refuse. Though in consideration of my greater experience, I feel I ought to provide a handicap."

Isabel looked up and grinned. "Me? Please?"

Re: Rig the Sailboat

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Isabel! I'd be honored to have you aboard," Archie said with a gallant flourish.

Re: Rig the Sailboat

Parker waved to Isabel. "Kennedy and Evans vs. Parker! You get a chocolate shake, if you guys can beat me!"

Jaye looks really disappointed that she can't stay on the beach. But she goes to a boat anyway.

Remember what happened the last time he got his hands on some rope?

"Uh . . . little help here?" he asked plaintively, one arm at an awkward angle over his head and his foot in the air. He had somehow managed to tie himself to the mast.

Sail

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Ride the wind!

Obstacle Course

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

As an alternative to piracy, maybe?

Re: Obstacle Course

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker maneuvers her boat over to the beginning of the course, then waits for Archie and Isabel to be ready, before she puts on her sunglasses and grins. "Winner buys drinks, capsizing is an automatic loss, and I have a head start, right?"

Re: Obstacle Course

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie made a show of pulling out his watch and examining it. "That's an affirmative. Five minutes, mind you!"

One hand on the tiller and an eye on his watch, he steered to the beginning of the course and waited for the five minutes to pass. "Are you ready to catch up to her?" he asked Isabel, grinning.

Re: Obstacle Course

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Isabel nodded eagerly, ready to pull in the sail. "Just tell me when."

If you need Jarod and his kayak to tow you in, please ping me here.

Thanks so much for being an awesome class!
