Wednesday 15th August – A day of rest.


We got up and had breakfast, today was a bank holiday so all the shops were closed at lunchtime. Rich & I went out at breakfast to get everything for the day. We had more breakfast, played Amelie’s Harry potter lego game & just chilled out till midday.
Then it was time for Amelie’s windsurf hire, so a quick sandwich for her then off to the beach. Mum & Dad offered to cook the bolognaise before the mince went off and it would’ve been rude to say no!

Today we could only get a 2m sail so it was hard work, but Ed wanted a go so we got him into his wetsuit too. Even that was hard work, he got hot and bothered so we sent him into the lake to cool off.
I tried again and again but there was no way, I checked the label & lo and behold it was Amelie’s small wetsuit – no wonder! (Note to self, buy them different wetsuits)
After Amelie was worn out, we swapped wetsuits & Edward had a go on the windsurf.  He wasn’t bothered about having a go, but once on he was determined to do well & well he did, returning to almost the same point on the beach each time he turned around!
After a while he too was tired so I suggested we go in and give Amelie another go, he kept dropping the sail, I suggested he was trying to stay out longer & he said “It’s like having a shower, I don’t want to do it but when I start I don’t want to stop!”
We finally got him off the board and Amelie had another go, she did well but then fell in out to sea & just sat on her board. Rich went over to her & she sailed in but then came over crying. Apparently she’d fallen off and got her foot stuck under the mast which scared her in the water.
