Windy end to our first year 8 group

The forecasts on Thursday night led us to believe that the wind would drop during the night leading to an almost guaranteed sail back to Glasson. Unfortunately as happened every day during this week the wind continued to blow, and in fact got stronger and reached our weekly high during the Thursday night of 39.1 knots so our plans had to be changed once more. We stayed on in Fleetwood, missing the tide slot that would have led us to get back to Glasson and cleaned and packed the boat up at Fleetwood, rearranging our pickup backto school.

Before the boys left they wrote in the crewbook about their experiences on board and included some advice for future groups:

• For those lucky enough to sleep in the stern remember your midnight snack!
• For those in the bow bring a crash helmet
• Never go below deck at sea - its horrible!
• Unfortunately we had terrible weather and didn't get to sail but we still had a great time

Good Luck and Enjoy!
