Juan and his grandpa love watching sailboats sail the windy waves. They decide to make a model sailboat. They draw the plan, carve the boat out of wood, and paint it. Then they add sails to the boat and put waves in a bottle. Then Grandpa puts the boat inside the bottle by folding down the sails. Just before they put a cork on the bottle, Juan blows in the bottle to add wind for sailing.
