Last week we used for the first time our great boat Olympia.
It was a very sunny and beautiful day and we left all together to the shipyard to see how the boat was carried into the water.
Firstly a boat carriage was driven under the boat and later the holders were removed one by one and the boat was put on the carriage. It was very important to be careful during this process in order not to damage the boat and to arrange it steady on the machine. Later on the truck linked to the carriage started moving and pushed the boat towards the ramp to facilitate its entry in the sea.
Once the boat was in the sea all of us volunteers had the opportunity to drive it with the motor or with the sail towards the Marina where we managed to park it.
We learn many new things such as how to use the motor, how to stop the boat, where to tie the ropes and how to ensure the safety of the vehicle while it is parked in order to protect it from the wind.
It was a really great day and we hope to experience soon again the feeling of wind in our hair and of the blue salty water under our feet.
