We awoke to some pretty big waves this morning. After breakfast we all got changed into our waterproofs ready for our trip to Piel Island in the dinghy. When we arrived on the small Island we went for a tour around the castle ruins. Shortly after we played a giant game of hide and seek, which went on for about 1 hour where Holly couldn’t find us and Nadia, Lizzy and Danielle got stuck in the brambles and nettles! However, Holly wandered back to find us and the three girls were guided out by the help of Eleanor and Jenny in the end. Also we met the Queen and Princess who we mistook for normal people; yes they are royalty but yet were living normal lives on the Island, in fact the only people living on the Island!!
We had to get back to the boat for our lunch as our empty bellies were rumbling! Straight after lunch we set sail out on the Irish Sea. We managed to get the sails out for the first time (whoop!) Everyone got a chance to helm, practice tacking and tying knots. We fished for a small amount of time but were unsuccessful. We sailed back to drop anchor where we were staying the previous night near Barrow, Piel Island and Roa Island.
For tea we had the nicest bird korma and apple crumble EVER!! It Surpassed any other!!! It was so nice that Ian scraped the korma bowl clean! The rest of the crumble was fed to our resident seagulls!
