The return to Glasson......


Today we returned to Glasson after a long night at Piel Island. It was an eventful journey as half of us felt sick and three of us were, we also got the jib sail out to stabilize the boat. It was quite rough with a few rolling waves but Tenacity fared well. It was a long and tiring trip, the up side was that we got to drive the boat. On the journey back we saw quite a lot seals. It took us four hours to get back to the dock. We had quite an audience entering the lock. Most of them had life insurance but it made their day. After we moored up we scrubbed the decks, all of which the crew got wet. After we played poo head (a card game). At dinner, which we had battered haddock and chips, everyone calmed down and we chilled out. Then we made pancakes and all had a go at tossing them. After we’d eaten the pancakes the instructors gave us riddles to think about. We cleared up and at half past ten we went to bed thinking about tomorrow and the riddles we were unable to figure out.
