I will talk about how I spend my summer vacation this year.
I am part of Gakushuin Yacht club as a player.
Have you ever seen yacht sailing race?
Yacht (sailing boat) is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. There are two types of yacht : 470 and snipe in our club which run only by wind. I am in 470 team which can be seen in Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Summer is the best season for sailing so I have been spending whole summer for practice. Practice mainly takes place in Hakkeijima sea paradise and Hayama which is known as famous place for yacht.
We stay there 5 days in a week. Training camp sometimes makes me nervous because it is hard to find own time especially for freshman. And of course, practice is very hard and gets me very very tired. However I think that this life makes me stronger mentally and physically.
Our yacht season still continue so I will try to keep my self up by telling myself "hard work pay off
!"
This is a fire work that can be seen from training camp in hakkeijima!
Hello, this is Minami.
ReplyDeleteYou belong to a hard club! I have heard of yacht club a little. I also belong to a sport club, but probably your club is harder than mine. As you mention, you spent a summer vacation full with yacht. I envy you because it is attractive for me to concentrate on one thing during a specific period.

I've been to hakkeijima once and I can remember there was very far from Tokyo! Though training repeatedly is very strict and hard, it must lead to improvement of your skills. I really want to see yacht sailing race with my own eyes and you must have had substantial summer vacation this year!

Hello. This is Koichi.
ReplyDeleteI've heard the name of the club, but it seems much harder than I imagined. I didn't know that you have to move yacht by yourselves like the video clip.
Your blog makes me feel like watching yacht race!!
Hello, this is Minori
ReplyDeleteI think it is really wonderful you join the yacht club, because I do not think we have so many chances to enjoy yacht sailing in daily lives or even get a chance to know about it.
In fact, I knew nothing about yacht sailing, but after I read your blog, it made me want to have a try one day.
Sailing! Great fun. And racing is even more fun. My family had a sailboat when we were kids and we had many sailing days. It was so refreshing and good to be out on the water. I really envy you as I miss those sailing days. What's the best thing about sailing for you?
