Stuck to the jetty!


When we arose early this morning we indulged ourselves with a bowl of cereal and a mouthwatering sausage sandwich. After we had got dressed, we gathered around the table and discussed our route to Piel Island on the chart. After our route plan, it was time for us to make some bread which we ate for lunch, accompanied by some cream of vegetable soup.
After our delicious lunch, it was time to get to work, and one of our groups (port) filled the one thousand litre tank of water. The rest of us were out on the deck practicing tying knots. Later, when we were motoring around Fleetwood dock, we had an exciting moment when the front of the boat got caught on the jetty. Luckily Mary and Andy managed to free her by using a long rope and a winch.
Finally, we had to learn how to set the Mizzen up. Next, we had a race which team could put it up the fastest, team three won; as a prize they were able to have a shower first. After a long hard day we ate our evening meal, pasta bolognaise ready for tomorrow.
