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!]

Pippi rigs up her adorable little boat.

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

Parker signs in. And makes an announcement.

"Our instructor is 19 today! Wish him a happy birthday!"

Re: Rig the Sailboat

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

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

Re: Rig the Sailboat

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

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

Archie signed in. "Happy birthday, Jarod!"

Re: Rig the Sailboat

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

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.

"Yay!" Molly said and then stood up straight and saluted. "Just tel me what you need me to do, Cap'n Pippi."

"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

[fates_jaye]

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

Re: Rig the Sailboat

Pippi pulled down the rigging she had done and started over from the beginning so Molly could sse and help with it all.

"So how've you been?" she asked as they worked.

Re: Rig the Sailboat

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly followed whatever directions Pippi gave her as she answered. "Pretty good. A lot better than last week. Things are getting back to normal now." She didn't sound quite as cheerful when she said that, but it was probably because she was concentrating on getting the rigging done right.

Re: Rig the Sailboat

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Normal is good." she said nodding her approval for Molly's work. "Are you going to Jarod's birthday party?"

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