Burning calories in a gale!
















An early morning breakfast highlighted with warm bacon baps. Mean while radio 1 was blasting in our ears, so we thought what more of a right time to text into radio 1 requesting don’t trust me- 3oh!3.
As the winds were still blowing a gale and the boat still rocking we learnt how to tie some more knots we also learnt more dingy skills with James and we were all ready for a rowing race with the sea cadets but they feared Eleanor’s amazing skills so they backed out!
While some were travelling the seas in the dinghy, other fellow sailors (Georgina, Grace, Abbie, Scarlet, Lottie and Ellie) were making the beloved tiffin cake!
Then we had lunch -jackets and beans.
We then went on a long energy consuming walk along the water front to the beach to burn off those dreaded calories collected from our tiffin cake. We could see the huge crashing white waves of Morecombe bay in the distance. On our walk we had an ice cream followed by a play on the park.
Lottie decided to bring a memory back from the walk- the beach in her wellies!
When we came back we made, then ate fish and chips (basically finishing the ketchup). Instead of cleaning up Lottie and Scarlett practiced their dance to ‘Boom Boom Pow’. After ‘everyone’ had cleaned, we watched ‘The Simpsons Movie’ whilst eating pancakes; meaning Lottie ate the rest of the Nutella.
Finally, we cleared most of our mess, and ‘hit the sacks’. The boat was silent whilst the Stern dorm meditated and did their ‘strength training’ (???). Eventually very early in the morning the boat was peaceful, only disturbed by the rocking of the restless wind.
See you soon
Lottie and Eleanor xx
