Settling in...

Last night we arrived at tenacity at about 6pm. We settled in and had bangers and mash with a big fat chocolate cake it was delicious! We unpacked and settled in. We talked for a while , well all night really! We got woken up at 7:30 and ended up being very late for breakfast. Ha ha. We went up on deck at 9:30a.m. And put our waterproof clothing on and a life jacket. We then got given safety lines and secured them to a black rope on the floor. We were split up into teams Port and Starboard, and did a little assault course. We had to go over rope obstacles and clip our selves back on again after every rope. Port won 2-1. We had elevenzeeeees (11:00 snack) (biscuits and juice). We then got showed around the boat’s wheel house and deck. We threw life rings and Dan buoy in practicing just in case someone fell in! So far no one has thankfully. After we sat down for some lunch (however I (Hannah.M) wasn’t feeling so well , so I went to sleep for a while), the others did some more activities. We went back up onto deck and got showed how to tie the boat onto the jetty in the harbor. Mary drove the boat around the harbor and we all took it in turns to tie the boat to the jetty. When everyone had had their turn, we put the end of the rope into a spiral shape on the jetty, obviously Nichole. K’s was the best. Sam said they were a work of art. When we had finished we made cookies then ate them mmmmm...! Then we set out for a walk. We were telling jokes to Sam on the way but they were absolute rubbish, ha ha. We saw a great view and some plaques which showed us were some islands were. Starboard team prepared tea. We had pork chops with stir fry and rice, and chocolate fondue with fruit for dessert. Me and Sam had a fight for the fruit and it went everywhere! The washing up took a while AGAIN!! Me and Hannah took the rubbish out to the big Biffa bins twice at about 8:00p.m. In the pitch black, the first time we both got freaked out by the ghostly boat at the end of the jetty, and I said ‘wouldn’t it be scary if someone jumped out of the bin!? … ‘Then as we were walking past the toilets, the door rattled open and this freaky old duuddeee came out. Me and Hannah screamed, and pegged it to the bins as fast as we could, then ran back across the jetty. The second time, we took a torch and to keep our selves happy sang ‘always look on the bright side of life, D’DO, D’DO D’DO D’DO!’ as we were running. It was quite funny… overall it was a great day!
