BloKarting

Today we got to go BloKarting. You get on a cart with a sail and sail down the beach instead of on the water like a boat. We went with Melanie, Terry, Diana and Jem. The sail gives you power and there is a handle for steering. You pull the sail's rope in to go faster and let it go to slow down. If you pull the rope in hard, you can go very fast. The speed record on a BloKart is over 50 miles per hour. You might have seen BloKarting on the Amazing Race.

We zoomed up and down the beach in the strong wind. We also drove our carts through a freshwater stream 2 kilometres (over a mile) down the beach. We got completely wet! Jem held on to her rope too tightly and the wind blew her completely over. She ended up hanging from her seat belt in the middle of the stream. TWICE!

We had a lot of fun and got completely soaked and covered in sand. We sure needed a bath after that!

After we got back from BloKarting, we had a hot chocolate and a piece of chocolate cake.
