Went to the Pleasure Island today.. we decided to give the kids a break.. and allow them to take the JY15 out.. Actually..its more like Eileen feels too tired to do anything.. cos she was sleeping in the boat.. I secretly think that when she has more energy.. she'll be there shouting away.. haha.. the kids split up work.. and she was telling me that she was impressed by their teamwork.. I'm like.. yeah.. i'm the one who trained them in that.. tsktsk.. anyway.. it doesn't matter... if she wants credit for that.. so be it.. as long as the kids are cool.. dats fine.

So.. we got to pleasure island.. midway thru she decided that she wants to set up a starting and went ahead with it.. without telling the kids.. and of course.. non of them knew.. all they know was that they are suppose to race to the beach.. how typical.. anyway.. we anchored.. and went to explore the island.. we walked one big round.. she wanted to go bash arnd.. the kids din agree.. and she decided to split up. bad idea..she gave up aftera while.. and came out and joined us walkin arnd in the waters.. tsk..

We had out lunch..and the kids found out that all their lunches were switched!! ahhha.. it was farnee thou.. sailed back.. and they decided to play pirate.. and we turned it into some sorta america's cup racing.. using rules.. and stuff.. i hopped onto alex's boat and we were unbeatable! ahhaha.. we faked a tack.. and the other boat fell hook, line, sinker for it! haha! It was awesome! Eileen was sleeping on the powerboat.. tsktsk.. ehe. she was tired.. but its nice.. some peace. hahaa.. Andrew and Jeffrey capsized..and they got their mast stucked in the mud.. she din notice.. cos she was sleeping.. we got there 20 mins later.. a jetski stopped by and help.. that was nice of him.. but i told him it was ok.. manage to get it unstuck. and the game continue!! haha.. RACE ON!!

We went back happy.. the Alex and Michael decided to continue sailing.. they rigged up their opti and carried on.... I joined the rest of the instructors thru their debrief.. and the limo came early.. and I got to sit inside a Limo for the very first time in my life!! haha.. oh  yes... the limo.. kids from Hartfort county got to come for sailing in a Limo.. cos the cost of a limo and a mini bus is the same..so why not a Limo? haaha.. Mike Mueller thought it was a hell of a kick! hahaa... I thought so too! Pretty Awesome!

Got back.. raised my bicycle seat post.. sam got out his mini scrambler and played arnd with it.. had dinner.. spaghetti with meatballs.. then came Bible study.. Genesis Chapt 40 i think... haha... bad memory.. nothing much to discuss in this chapter.. starred at the computer for a while later.. and i was too tired.. and went to bed.. Exhausted..

Thoughts of the day: I like exploring the island.. but seriously.. it is the company that matters.. i din quite enjoy exploring Pleasure island today.... *sigh*

Ah darn.. I forgot to explain Pleasure Island.. i was stoned when i typed this.. keke..

Well.. Pleasre Island.. is a very happening island 80 years back.. it is like in the form of the island in Pinocchio... where there are ferris wheel and carousel and stuff.. people used to flock there.. until a great fire wiped it out.. and it was never rebuilt since.. now.. the island is just full of trees.. reeds.. and rocks.. 2 benches.. and a huge tire.. haha
