Storm bound in windy Fleetwood


Woke 9am - Peter and Robert made bacon butties for breakfast.

10am - We split into 3 groups to learn about the Genoa and Mizzen sail and the dinghy. There are lots of different ropes to loosen and tighten, main sheet, kicking strap and furling line. We all drove the dinghy in gale 7/8. Some of us bumped into the jetty but it was ok.

Lunch - Jacket potatoes with cheesy beans and bacon cooked by Andrew and Rajan. NO Spillages!!!

After lunch - We did more sail and dinghy handling.

5.30pm - Ian taught us all how to throw a figure of 8 knot. Max was the champ with 64 in a row!

7.30 - Alex, Adam and Max cooked stir fry veg and pork chops with special sauce. Yummy! We all made our own pancakes for pud and Liam's went a bit wrong and he threw it all over himself and the floor.

9pm - Colin broke us the bad news that there was no sailing tomorrow because gale force 9 is forecast!!!

10pm - played cards and then went to bed.
