' The King of Peil!'(fifth from right)
Today we have probably experienced the most tiring and weird weathered day of our lives. We were woken up at 5 (arghhh!!!!) and we were rushed out of bed to be sailing at 6:30. After getting used to the boat we had a breakfast of sausage buns (which Abbie got the ketchup squeezed all over her by Eleanor) By 7:15 we had already had our first biscuit of the day (which was not our only)
After sailing about an hour we hit the fog and our everlasting 5 hour journey began. To keep ourselves entertained, Abbie, Georgie, Eleanor and Frankie started making up names for the parts of the boat like Neil the wheel, Roy the buoy, pope the rope and many more… During our journey we had to keep a look out for buoys and any other boats. James spotted a fishing boat that was in our path so we had to slow down and blow the fog horn to warn the boat we were coming. To make sure we were doing work and not just fun we learnt about what side the buoys should be on. Red is for port (left) and green on starboard (right)
When we came out of the fog we arrived at Piel Island only to be met by the king and queen of the island who were the only two living on the island. We went to explore around the ruined castle and had a picnic overlooking the bay and all the other boats.
While waiting for the dingy to come and take us to the boat some of us went looking for crabs. We found a dead one floating in the sea which Georgie named Fred. Abbie and Frankie found a massive one that had lots of babies around it so we let it be. Once we got back to the boat the fog had lifted and the sun was finally shining ( and yes mums we put sun cream on) so we had a nice relaxing sail back from the island and most people fell asleep.
And that’s our day a foggy fun filled day
