Nine very tired Buoys




Today we woke up early after a long day on Tuesday. For breakfast we had cereal and eggy bread which we saw later in the day. We were issued with jobs which some of us didn’t like. We prepared the boat so we could set off at noon. The first obstacle we encountered was the lock, in which we had an audience of angry locals. We spent an hour in the River Lune and when we finally reached the sea we were met with big waves. Two hours in to the journey, some people were unwell. Oliver chucked up and we saw our lunch and part of our breakfast which brought back memories. One by one we had the opportunity to go to the bow (front) and stood on the bow Sprit. Also we had a chance to steer the boat for about twenty minutes. We reached our destination after five hours of sailing and chucking, dropped the anchor and had a watery Chicken Korma. For pudding we had crispy cake and custard then we settled down for the night.
