LOCKED IN!


At the start of the day, we had breakfast. For breakfast we had eggy bread and cereal. Later on in the day we all learned how to set up the mizzen sail, the sail at the back. We learned 3 different parts in the sail, we learned the mizzen sheet, the reef line and the outhaul, and then we had lunch, for lunch we had baked potatoes, baked beans and cheese. Shortly after lunch, at 1 o’clock we tried to get out the marina but unfortunately the lock controller was unable to open the lock because the tide was too small, so they had to let us out late. Consequently we were too late to get to Glasson dock, however, instead of turning around, we all had a turn at steering the boat, and while we were waiting we ate a gorgeous Tiffan! After roughly 2 hours we returned to Fleetwood. When we got back, we cleaned up the deck. At 7 o’clock we had fish and chips for tea, for desert we had chocolate cake. At the end of the day it has got to have been one of the best weeks on a boat ever not just for me but for everyone.
