The voyage begins....

We woke up this morning at 6:00 to a strange alarm clock (Sam singing ‘Good morning’, which is not very good!). We think he is TONE DEAF!! We got changed and devoured some cereal quickly because we had to get on deck ready and set for this once in a life time opportunity. It took FOREVER to exit the very time consuming loch, like half an hour!! We gave the gate keeper a sausage buttie.
After hours on end we finally reached the Irish Sea. Unfortunately, we couldn’t sail due to lack of wind so we motored away on our journey to Piel Island. Simultaneously motoring, we played a very unusual game of charades where I (Ailish) acted hilariously as Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Will Smith. Hannah got tired so we went to the cock pit and had a few Hob Nobs and Jaffa Cakes! Minted. Some of us even got to steer the boat after our biscuit eating session. In this time we saw some dolphins leaping in the water. We also saw seals sunbathing on land and on buoys.
When we were full a few of us fished. Hannah (super fisher-woman) got so into it that she “aggravated the fish” and “snapped the line!” Sam had to fix it. Due to the lack of fish-and our bad skills-we stopped fishing. For we failed in catching any and we kind of sucked.
Then, we anchored near the Piel Island. Land ahoy! It took 4 hours and 45 minutes to get there. It seemed like two days. After lunch failed due to the oven going out and not cooking the jacket potatoes we had hot dogs-AGAIN (no fish caught yet).
We went to Piel Island in the RIB. All the kids played hide and seek and sardines. It was great! We had bourbon biscuits and JUICE! (Still no fish).
Once we had got back we played Poo Head (a card game). Jainee (the ultimate winner) became the Poo Head. A failure she was. But she is pretty great at that game.
Then we had a delish tea (Chicken Korma) with naan bread. (we still caught no fish) and for supper we had apple crumble!
To end the day we resolved it with a great game of poo head!!!
