Today we woke up and ate breakfast. Then we practised circuits around the Whitehaven harbour. In Whitehaven there was a huge navy ship behind us, they had managed to get a rope stuck around their propeller so they had to get scuba divers to undo the rope. We are all now experts at mooring up. We showed the navy how it’s done! Afterwards we set off on our way to Piel Island.


We were all taught to coil ropes, and many knots, which were very useful.

For lunch we all enjoyed bacon and egg butties, made by Georgi and Georgia. Afterwards we baked chocolate cornflake cakes, and ginger biscuits.

We did the man overboard drill by throwing ‘Bob’ the fender over the side of the ship. We managed to get him back to safety quite quickly. We then went to the front of the boat, and had fun singing many songs at the top of our voices! Finally we sat down at the end of a long day and tucked into spaghetti bolognaise. The best day yet!
