Rizky walked to the marina early in the morning. The sun was bright, and the water was very calm. He looked at the boats and smiled. Rizky wanted to organise a group activity for his friends. He wanted everyone to go on a boat trip together. He called his friend Siti on the phone.
"Hello, Siti. Do you want to come to the marina today?" he asked.
Siti said, "Yes, that sounds fun! What time?"
Rizky replied, "Come at ten o'clock."
Then he called his other friends, Budi and Ayu. Budi was happy to come. Ayu was also excited.
"I love boats!" Ayu said.
Rizky was glad. He had four people for the trip now. He needed to find a good boat for the group. Rizky walked along the marina and looked at the different boats.
Some boats were very big and some were small. He found a medium boat that was perfect for four people. He talked to the boat owner.
"How much is it to rent this boat for the day?" Rizky asked.
The owner said, "It is not expensive. You can have it for the whole afternoon."
Rizky was happy with the price. He waited near the boat for his friends.
Siti arrived first. She carried a bag with drinks and snacks.
"I brought food for everyone," she said.
Budi came next. He had a camera with him.
"I want to take photos of the water," Budi said.
Ayu arrived last. She wore a big hat and sunglasses.
"Sorry I am late," she said with a smile.
Everyone was ready.
Rizky helped everyone get on the boat. He showed them where to sit.
"Please put on your life jackets," he said.
Everyone put on their life jackets. The boat moved slowly away from the marina. The water was blue and beautiful.
Siti opened the snacks and shared them with the group. Budi took many photos of the sea and the sky. Ayu pointed at some fish in the water.
"Look at those fish! They are so colourful!" she said.
Rizky steered the boat carefully. They all laughed and talked together. It was a wonderful afternoon.
"Thank you for organising this, Rizky," Siti said.
Rizky smiled and said, "We should do this again soon."
Everyone agreed. It was the best day they had in a long time.
