So we kept on trying to get the boat up the way were before, but it was still not working as it wasn't before. We were really tired because the cold water was draining our energy and the sailboat was really heavy. The committee boat which all of the coaches were on came over to us and tried to give us some useful directions. However, it was still a challenge. Eventually, Emily and I swam into place and held onto the hiking strap, while the Martha's Vineyard coach stood onto the centerboard of our sailboat. The idea was that he would be heavy enough to pull the sailboat back up. The idea worked! He pulled the boat back up and we were able to get into it. He jumped back into the committee boat without a problem. Emily and I sailed back to shore and other sailors took over our boat to de-rig (dismantle) our sails. I was the coldest I had ever been in my entire life. I could barely take off my dry suit, and when I did, my pants were soaking wet because water got into my dry suit! When I got home, I immediately took a really hot shower but even after I did that I was still shivering. I will never forget that day sailing!
