Ian was wrong!

Today we had a little lie in. We were awoken at 8 am and we got dressed and had breakfast. For breakfast we had a modern continental breakfast selection including a bacon butty with ketchup. Then we sat down and looked at the weather forecast and another bad day for sailing so instead we went for a walk to see the sea that was to ruff to sail on. On the walk jess found a golf ball so we spent the most of the walk bouncing a ball in the wind. Ian insisted that the ball had rubber bands in it so when we got back to the boat we cracked it open to found that Ian was totally WRONG! It was actually filled with a hard plastic centre. By this time lunch had to be made and it was starboard to make it. We had sandwiches, crisps and cookies from yesterday. Then lovely Mary, Ian and James started whispering across the table to each other and made us put our fingers in our ears and hum, so we couldn’t hear them, so we did. Then they told us that instead of taking the sailing boat out we would get to ride the dinghy but then the bad news, we had to clean while the other group went out but it didn’t turn out so bad it was sort of fun. 40mins later it was time for starboard to ride the dinghy. It was amazing! We spun round in circles, made waves and just went really fast. But it started to get cold so we headed back to the boat. We then used the winches to get the dinghy back on Tenacity. We were all so tired so we had an hour of down time and played cards and headed off for a shower in the Marina. Port then started to prepare dinner (spag bol) YUM! While the rest of us played cards and chatted. Dinner was served! It was gorgeous almost all of us had second helpings. After our amazing dinner we had the best homemade rice pudding made by the best skipper ever MARY!!! Cards after dinner again, it was great fun! Everyone getting tired 10pm time for bed.
