05 things you need to know to yacht.

When you go yachting you need to know some tips like when you come up to the land you need to pull up the rudder and centreboard. So it can be easy things like that.

Number one.
When you  go out in the water you must put the centreboard down and your rudder so that you can move in the water.

The second tip.
The most helpful thing is that you need to know where the wind is coming from. That is useful because if you sail into the wind you will go no where.

Sailing tip number three.  
You will won't want to get hit by the boom with is the pole that is very low so you need to stay low so that the boom does not go boom on your head.

Tip four.

When the yacht is on a lean to the left or right you lean to the side that is higher so that you don't capsize when it is cold.

Lastly.
The last thing is that if you want to go out by yourself you need to be able to work the rudder main sheet but to pull up the centreboard up by yourself.

Thank you for reading the tips and I hope that you can use these tips when you go yachting if you are by yourself or with a mate.

The shark

 THE  SCHOOL  SHARK
Smash  as the shark crashes on the side of the boat, I'm excited that I have got my 1st school shark of the day. I ask Jeff if he can hold my line and I grab the hook and pliers.I have to pierce the hook right thought the sharks head and hold it up grab the pliers and rip the fishing hook out of the sharks mouth. I chuck it back into the sea. its tail breaks the water as it swims away,And I lower my rod.
After 5 minutes I have got a snapper on my line. I tug and the snapper fights my line. I grab the line pull it up and I have to check if my snapper is bigger than 45cm and it was 54cm. I hold down my snapper and  grab the stabber find the snappers brain and drill the knife into its brain. Then lift the pot lid and chuck it in the pot and close it. Next I put my line in the holder then we sail off back to shore.

           The water cycle

The run off is the last stage to the water cycle but not the most  important in the water cycle.The sun is the most important part of the water cycle because it powers the    whole water cycle.There is 4 steps in the water cycle.


Evaporation
If i walk outside with water and split it over the ground and i come back it will be gone by the time i come back . it would be turned into vapor and it will be in the clouds


Condensation

Condensation is say if I left a dry cup of poured juice, water and ice left it there. After I have done that and came back from the movie I find out that there is water on the outside of the cup and I wonder how it does that?I know after I am a expert at this and It means that the water vapor is on         
                                  the outside of the glass.

Precipitation
Did you know that in Precipitation the clouds move by the wind. In Precipitation the clouds suck up water and once it gets to a certain weight all the water pours down such as rain,hail and snow.  

Run-off

The run off ends the all the 4 steps of the Condensation and Precipitation.The run  off runs the rain back down to the lake,ocean and river so it can run all over again.

           Conclusion
We should be happy that we have a water cycle because without it we would be dead.So I have had a good think about water you should to.
