Good evening tenacity followers! Annabel and Lizzy (Burns) here reporting for blog duty! We woke up this morning at eight. It was a bit of a struggle but we all were up within 10 minutes. We then made scrambled eggs for breakfast with toast. This was very nice. Next we got up on deck and put are sailing suits and lifejackets on. We looked very professional in our new outfits in our opinion! Next we practiced clipping on to the boat and raced along from bow to stern. Port won, as usual! (Port consists of Annabel, Lissy (Pepper), Hannah, Anna and Hannah and Starburst is Lizzy (Burns), Ellen, Izzy and Ellie. All of our names are very similar!) After a lovely lunch made by Starburst we than chillaxed on deck and sunbathed (with Rodger!)
We then split up into groups of three and did three different activities. The first was looking at the safety equipment, charts and started the engine below deck with Mary. Next we learned various knots with James and can do them all with our eyes closed (quite literally!). Finally we went out in the dinghy to learn how to steer it. This was when James cruelly threw a soon to be not so jolly Rodger overboard! We then played throw Rodger and steer too go and pick him up which was hilarious! We then returned to place him to dry on deck. We joined him sunbathing.
For the remainder of the afternoon we sunbathed, fished and made cookies. The cookies were great! For tea we made caramelized pork chops, stir fry and rice. It was really nice. We then went on a walk around the village and played some games in a field. When we set off we soon realized we had left behind the beloved Rodger. After a sprint back we recovered him. He looked happy!
We returned to the boat to cover our faces in chocolate fondue with fruit and it was scrumpdidelyumptious! We aren’t too sure if that’s a word but we like it! We are off to bed now so night!
