My family likes spending time by the sea very much. When we had a holiday last year, we went to a place at the seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then we sailed and fished in the sea all day. We also had races against other boats.When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead.There were a lot of sharp rocks, and the water was shallow, so we must be careful because we did not want to damage our friend’s boat.
There were not many fish in the lake, but we caught a lot when we sailed to the sea. The fish were not very big, but they tasted very good. We sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish at the beach. All of us enjoyed our meals. It was the most wonderful day for my family.
