Today was our first full day on this homely boat. After an eventful first day, getting to know and explore the boat, we are all ready for a good night’s sleep as we are to get up at 4.50 to catch the tide and head out for our first sail.
Today we woke up at 8 and had a very tasty breakfast of scrambled egg and toast. During the morning Colin and Mary taught us several safety drills and handed us our waterproofs and lifejackets.
After our lunch we had a visit from Mr Whitmarsh (the creator and builder of Tenacity of Bolton). On his visit he kindly gave us a brief talk on the history of Tenacity and showed us some pictures of her while she was being built.
The weather today has been very windy and we have had showers on and off throughout the day also the high tide that happened at about 5.00 or so was not large enough for us, so the tide and the weather combined meant that we couldn’t sail today. Whilst we are not really looking forward to getting up at 4.50 in the morning we are very much looking forward to getting out into Morecambe Bay for a sail.
Aiden and Luke
