We arrived at 7pm Sunday, had tea, unpacked and went to bed. We had sausage, mash and gravy for tea. Made by Joe, Imran, Matthew and Benito. Our Skipper on the boat, Mary, helped us make a brilliant meal. After that we had a small talk on how to use the toilet and then we went to bed.
Today was eventful. Firstly, we learnt how to clip ourselves to the boat and move easily around without risk of falling off. After that we were divided into two watches. Port and Starboard. Mary made up a Rota on which watch had which chores. In teams of three, we then learnt how to put up and take down the Gibb (the sail at the front of the boat). Port then made lunch (sandwiches with fillings of our choice and Tomato Soup) and, straight after, Starboard went for a ride on the Dingy. Meanwhile Port made Cookies, which, once Starboard returned, everyone enjoyed. Filled up by Port’s brilliant speciality, we then swapped and Port went on the Dingy while Starboard learnt how to tie a variety of knots.
After Port had returned, we all suited up and went for a walk to the far side of the Marina. On the return journey we took a detour to look at some dilapidated boats, which stood rotting at the edge of the sea-line. Unfortunately, we got covered in mud and had to be hosed down when we got back. We then played cards while Starboard prepared tea. This takes us here, writing the blog - while Starboard wash up - waiting for our Chocolate Fondue. We hope you enjoyed reading our Blog for the first two days.
