Mitchell and Reece,s day


After getting up at 7 30 we ate a delicious breakfast made by the bow watch. After this we got kitted out with our oil skins (waterproof jacket and pants) and a life jacket. We got ready to sail out around the marina, this was exciting although it was disappointing when we found out we wouldn’t be able to go out of the lock gate due to a misunderstanding between the lock keepers and our amazing crew. During the tour of the marina we (Reece and Mitchell) made immense cheese and ham butties. After moving on from the disappointment we decided to change to the boats dinghy with an outboard and raced it around the marina. Unfortunately we decided to let Reece drive and he nearly capsized the dinghy. After a 20 minute drive around the lake we got back on board the Tenacity. Whilst back on board we learnt how to pull out the sails and how to tie a clove hitch, whilst the bow watch started to make our tea. Later we all decided to go on a walk around the local park and had fun on the swings and see saw. On the way back we met some cows and a horse that we called Beefy. Overall it has been great so far.
