We woke upto a rocking boat the wind was raging around the mast. Max wind speed on our anemometer was 38.1 knots, force 8. Breakfast was a lesuirely affair taking longer than we thought but scrambled egg was enjoyed by all. We had a morning of finding all the safety equipment on board both down below and up on deck. We also got issued our wet weather gear consisting of waterproof jacket and salopettes. On top of this we fitted our lifejacket and learnt how to use them, not by jumping in! We all looked very smart in our red suits shame our wellies aren't matching.
After lunch the press arrived to have a look around the boat and chat to us about the first year 8 trip. There were reporters from Sailing Today, M channel and Manchester Evening News. The weather was still windy and wet and it was not very pleasent on deck, thank heavens for our magic red suits. We manged to have a nice evening stroll after a Turkey Korma dinner.
