Today we motored across to Piel Island in the dinghy after spending the morning chilling out and eating eggy bread. When we arrived there we walked over to the castle ruins. Rehanna and Ragini decided it would be fun to explore inside the historic castle, unfortunately when they tried to get back out they discovered that they were faced with climbing a wall that was higher than they expected! Rehanna eventually managed to climb out and after several attempts, Ragini finally made it out to safety. What a kerfuffle!!!
We then decided to play a game of sardines. Matt or “Smokey” hid first and no one could find him for ages, until we eventually uncovered him hiding in-between two enormous rocks, on the beach. Even though it took so long, this was great fun! On the way back to the jetty we were met by two adorable black Labradors and their puppy called Emily. She was incredibly cute and clumsy so we stroked and took pictures of her and her parents whilst we waited for Mike in the dinghy to take us back to Tenacity.
When we got back on Tenacity, Rehana and Georgina made us a lovely lunch of jacket potatoes, cheese and beans. Then the Port watch had a go at driving the dinghy and did some “coming alongside” and a “man over board” exercise with a fender named Bob! Meanwhile the Starboard watch did a spot of fishing using left over sausages for bait. The sausages didn’t help them get any fish but they did pick up quite a few cheeky crabs which enjoyed the meaty bait.
After tea we relaxed and watched the local RNLI crew launch for some training exercises in Morcambe Bay. Then we all sat down and listened to Smokey’s beloved pan pipe CD.
Bye,
Luc y & Rehanna
