Sorry About the Delay (Week 6 +7)

So I'm sorry I haven't posted in while, but I was out of the country and forgot.  But don't worry, you weren't missing much.  The week I came back (Yom HaShoa), I only worked one day, which happened to be the aforementioned day.  Fortunately, or unfortunately, there wasn't any work to be done, so after sitting around for about 40 minutes, we all stood up, listened to the siren, and left.

*Note: We didn't have any work to do because we were missing the pieces that attach the sails to the surfboards, so we couldn't set up the sails.

The following week (Yom HaZicharon and Yom Ha'Atzmaut), there was very little work for us to do.  On Sunday, I set up the windsurfing sails (we got the piece in).  It was a good experience because I became accustomed with the sails and got to understand how they work.  Also, some representatives from the Bat Yam Municipality came by to check that we had everything we needed to legally function as the Bat Yam Ocean School (we were good).

On Monday, there were no groups, so my time was spent learning how to windsurf.  I was pretty okay with this.  I learned how to set up the board + sail, balance on the board, pick up the sail, and move in straight line (turning was the next lesson).  It is awesome, especially when one of the beach bums confused me for Gal Friedman (he wasn't in the best state of mind).
