Boating

Alex raised an eyebrow. "You do boat racing?"

"Yeah," Lucas replied. "Last time I was here, I raced a keelboat. Noah had me on the mainsheet, and when we had the spinnaker up, he and Benyo took the sheet and brace, and I was steering. It was so much fun."

"Who are Noah and Benyo?" I asked.

"My friends, of course!" Lucas looked at me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. 

He then got really animated, his eyes lighting up. "Anyway, downwind, I could feel the power of the boat moving through the water. When I pushed the tiller across or pulled it towards me, I could hear the water rushing around it... and the force of the water moving around the tiller was really strong. It was incredible."

"Wow. I feel jealous..." Charlotte said, her eyes wide with admiration.

"Then just try it," Lucas replied matter-of-factly.

I looked over at him and thought about something. "How much does a racing boat cost?" I asked.
