A day at Fleetwood

In the morning we went on the R.I.B. (Rigid Inflatable Boat) and learned how to drive it and dock it alongside a pontoon so as people could get on and off. We also played a game of hide and seek were we had to find Russ, one of the instructors, dock and pick him up.

For lunch we had baked potato with beans and cheese…yum. For desert we had homemade chocolate chip cookies.

After lunch we tied the R.I.B back to Tenacity. Then we untied Tenacity from the pontoon motored around the dock and tied back on to the pontoon 3 times. Russ helmed it first time and then Mira nearly crashed Tenacity! The second time he did it though was good. When we came alongside we stepped ashore ourselves without the aid of the instructors. Now Tenacity is docked alongside the pontoon held by knots that we did without the instructors.

We are looking forward to our fish and chip supper!!
