Hey everybody. On the 12th of March, to the 13th of March I Went to the Southland Champs for sailing in Te Anau. Oh, by the way, I sail my boat every Wednesday at bluff in the summers. I've been sailing for about 2 years now. I'm in a boat called an optimist and I was sailing in my optimist at the Southland Champs. I was also in the Green Fleet which is the junior group of optimist sailers. It was really good fun. Finally it was over and it was time for the prize giving. "First up we have the optimist" said the man. "Third place is no name". "Second place is no name". "And First place is Timothy smith". Yaaay. I was so pleased with myself. I went up to receive my Trophy. It was a big shield. They put my name on it and I took it home. Then I hung it up on my bedroom wall. But since I won the green fleet it means that next season I have to be in the open fleet which is the senior group of optimist sailers. Most of them have been sailing for about 5 or 6 years so this will be more challenging for me. But I think thats good to have more of a challenge. Thanks for reading. By Tim
