Ok I totally know that this topic that im going to write about is going to be totally random and has really nothing to do with the other topics that I have been writing about. But it’s something to write about. I was just thinking about something to write about and this is the only thing that I could possibly think about to actually write about that will give me a lot to write about. So any way, my grandfather was a sail boater, and when I was little I and I went to my grandmother and grandfathers house we would go to the lake (if it was warm enough). When we got there my grandfather would go right to the dock and walk right to were his sailboat was located. My grandmother and I would follow and stop were the boat was parked. My mom rarely went on the boat because she got motion sickness really bad, so it would just my grandparents and myself on the dock.
My grandfather raced in many of the races that were held at the lake that weekend, and it seemed to me that there was one about every other weekend. And every time that my mom and I would come over to their house, he would talk about the previous weekend of sailboat racing. He was actually to what I know really good at what he did. I would always see the many first or second place trophies that were placed on the mantel of their fireplace, and there were many to be seen. When I would go on the sailboat races with my grandparents, I wasn’t to big on the whole thing of when the boat tipped to the point were it was pretty close to were your feet could touch the water and this happen only when the sails were up. So to make me feel better my grandmother would tell me what she did when the boat began to tip.
I think that the sport of sailing is kind of interesting and that’s kind of why im writing about it. I think it’s interesting because it all depends on the weather. It also depends on if there is enough wind so that the sails can make the boat go fast enough. So if there’s not enough wind or maybe it might have been to windy then there wouldn’t be a race that weekend. I think that my grandfather was very passionate about sailing and im glad that he took me along for the ride on the boat.
