Choc fondue day

We are all enjoying the trip so far! Emma had a bad first day… She stood on a screw, she forgot to cook the sausages, and she nearly broke the kitchen sink, and couldn’t get enough sleep. However she is ok now.
For tea we had sausage mash and veg. it was nice!!! After we had all eaten and chatted we went to bed. Everyone slept well, but some of the beds were a little small. Steph hit her head a few times throughout the night. But overall the first night was a lot of fun!!!
Today (Monday) we all had a shower, it was surprisingly warm. After fitting life jackets and waterproofs we cleaned the deck and then learnt how to tie several knots such as the figure of eight the round turn and two half hitches and finally the bowline knot. All this came in very useful when we manoeuvred the boat to make it easier to get sailing tomorrow morning. After several rounds of the marina we pulled into Tenacity’s berth. Laura and Hannah had the task of jumping on to the jetty and tying the boat to it. They both really enjoyed it!!! Then we took down the fore sail and replaced it with a smaller one for the autumn. Even though it sounded easy it took us a good 45 minutes to complete it. We had to unfurl all the sail and fold it neatly on the pontoon. Molly was doing a very good job, of pulling the sail up - it helped Ian a lot. Eilidh helped fold and hold the sail so it would fit in the appropriate bag. Then had a wrestling match with it to get it into the cupboard.
Then it was lunch time. After we had prepared lunch Natalie ‘accidentally’ knocked all the cheese sandwiches onto the floor. Then once they had been remade and taken onto the deck she stood on one in her wellies. But we laughed it off and got stuck in!!!
We had a chocolate fondue for pud.
