First, we all met up at The Jolly Sailor and some of the other kids and I had a practice water-fight on the pontoons; they all ganged up on me, the older kid, and I became well and truly soaked! We went up the Hamble River in our tenders and dinghies, and spent a few hours in a sunny field, relaxing in the warm, picnicking, playing cricket and rounders and then falling down holes in the marshy banks when we tried to get back in the boats! I think that several of us were permanently wet the entire day... It’s not often that a kid gets to shoot an adult in the face with a water blaster, so my sister and I (not to mention lots of other kids) certainly took advantage of the opportunity! It was certainly the most fun we’ve all had in ages; even my parents really let go and enjoyed shooting other yacht-clubbers in the faces or chucking buckets of water over them! Overall, it was a fantastic day – one that will certainly stick in my memory and next year certainly can’t roll around fast enough for me. Anna Boulter (13)
