Red Light Green Light

Outline: A good sailing session is rewarded with a trip on a fast powerboat and some navy seal training

1. Bring the kids out in the a rib and go nice and fast.

2. Stop the boat after a quick turn and shout RED LIGHT RED LIGHT RED LIGHT.. .. .

Everyone gets into position, pinching their nose and holding an imaginary harpoon gun and sitting on the side.

3. Turn the engine off and shout GREEN GREEN GREEN . . .

Everyone does a backward roll off the side off the boat into the water.

When everyone rolls off together it's awesome.

Tip: The main problem here is the engine and prop. Get around this by towing them some distance behind you in a boat with no engine. That way they can jump off while moving (way more fun and much nice and far from dangerous things)

Have a 5 meter rule. Forget Neutral, have the engine OFF if someone's in your 5 meter circle. Kids love sneaking up behind you and using the engine as a foot hold.
