Is it still only Tuesday???

This morning the two teams (port and starboard) woke up at 7:30 AGAIN!! Port made breakfast which was made up of cereal and bacon butties. After we had recovered from our wake up we went up to main deck to do some series training. We learnt how to get out and put back the sails and then we did some races and Group 3 (Harriet, Florence & Jainee) won race 1 with a staggering 23 seconds! While the group 1 (Hannah, Ailish & Rhiannon) trailed 48 seconds. Then we moved onto the mizzen which we only had 2 goes on because we were getting a bit too competitive! Then it was time for a well earned lunch which was sandwiches, crisps and soup (which starboard made). Callum, one of our instructors left us and Ian replaced him. All the kids are obsessed with tricks we learned, including a pen trick, and two rope tricks (don’t worry we’ll teach you when we get back).
Later on we split into 3 groups of three. We rotated different activities including tying ropes, going out on a dinghy, and having a shower! We all got to steer the dinghy, however there were some very close calls, including some other very expensive yachts. While the third group was out and about in the dinghy the first group played cheat and solitaire card games. Then we had a rest (5 mins). We were called up to the main deck to clean the boat. We were split into twos’. Two cleaned the heads (loo’s), two cleaned the galley (kitchen), two hovered, and two filled up the water tanks (took about an hour). Then port made dinner which took a ridiculously long time. We ate spaghetti bolognaise. We found that two of the instructors had very annoying habits we just had to point out and tease them about:
Sam, who when picks up some food has to talk while it’s on his fork and took ages eating.
Callum, who twitches at breakfast time.
We haven’t found out any of Ian’s bad habits yet…
We have nicknames for the instructors…Sam: Samantha/Marge/Sobo, Ian hasn’t got one yet. Callum: Twitchy/Camilla.
All is well on the boat! :D
