And yes, still no school for me!

Well, I do have a lecture at 9 buts it's online and recorded. So today I'm going sailing instead!

I found this volunteering spot. That sail and take out elderly people or people with disabilities, and I applied for the role as a skipper. This was a trail to se if I liked it!

When I arrived I met Martin, the guy I had been in contact with.

I forgot to take a photo of the actual boat, but I had this video of a guy wiggling his boat into the harbour. He didn't use a motor, but instead shook it back and forth to generate speed, which was fun to see, because the boat is quite big but very lightweight. It weighs about a tonne. So not the same boat, but this is representative of the boat we were in.

Captain Marcus at the helm!

Through there you would exit out into the ocean. But here is where we turned around to go back in.

Me, with the Opera House in the background.

Watson bay

That's Parsley beach that I really want to go to! See the small bridge?

I saw multiple IFs (the boat I owned). Which was crazy to me because they are (were) produced in Sweden. Now the Norwegian guy who bought mine and is transporting it in a trailer doesn't seem as crazy anymore.

Martin was super nice and introduced me to Nick at another sailing club who does races. Nick is going to show me around the harbour and see if anyone wants a skipper, specifically any of the IFs.

Martin mentioned it, which made me reflect. It's really fun how a hobby lets you connect. Mentioning a boat model and immediately you are connected to people and get opportunities. I'm excited for more sailing! Probably going to be that instead of surfing while I'm here.

When I arrived, he explained that he wanted to train me for about 6 months before I could do the volunteering, so that won't happen. He still wanted to take me out for a ride. If I want to keep doing it it's 20AUD as a non-member concession price, and then I basically just go as a guest. So yes definitely, but not as a volunteer.

Cooked lunch and watched the recorded lecture.

Then I started on one of the first assignments

They had a "Faculty Night", where people who study the same things get together får som snacks, cheese and wine. Didn't take any photos of that.

And we played 'rundpingis' but with the 8-ball and the cue ball, which you play with your hands. It was quite fun and very easy for people to learn and get a hang of. Also more fast paced. Definitely a good activity if you want yourself kicked out
