Little red and yellow sail boats floated across the ocean all kept together with a piece of rope. They were all being towed by a boat with a motor that rippled across the water. Once we got to a decent spot on the ocean they'd let us go so that we could actually sail. One by one the boats were untied by the rope that kept them together, one would be in charge of the direction would go and the other one was leading the sail and choosing how fast or slow the boat would go. They then emptied rubbish bags of coloured plastic balls and rubber ducks on the surface. The children scurried after to get as much as they could, it was like when a pinata breaks, everyone fights over what had been dropped on to the surface. Once all was collected they would flip your boat and show you how to get it back up. The little red and yellow boats were once again towed and returned to the shallow and pushed back up on the sand.
One of the activities was a thinking puzzle game and a bit of a competition, you would try and make a boat that would fit as much stones as it could possibly could without it sinking. Simply the one that had the most, won. You would have to make a boat made out of tinfoil, put it on the water to see if it could float by itself, and then keep adding as much stones as you could until it's reached it's limit. Try and see among your friends who can fit the most in the tinfoil boats.
I had a good day, my favourite part was sailing and being flipped off the boats because the water was warm. Although I thought I saw something that looked like a stingray or shark and then turned out it was a sail of someone else's boat. The on land activities were fun.
