Thursday morning. After a good nights rest everyone woke up nice and refreshed ready to tackle the day ahead! After enjoying a bowl of cereal and some bacon butties we walked along Fleetwood dock to watch a trawler being dropped into the water. After that we all geared up and set off through the docks to follow in its wake.


After we had got going we were assigned jobs. On the very tight schedule, we motored to Glasson at an average of about 6 knots. James’ team gladly made us some hot-dogs on our approach to Glasson docks. We navigated through the channel using the buoys and Piers’ amazing driving skills. We arrived in the locks at Glasson Regardless of the struggle to dock, the team pulled through.

After a beautiful day, the ‘amazingness’ of the day continued, as we scrubbed the waterproofs, prepared the life jackets and started dinner. Whilst it was cooking we fished in the water and Nathan pulled a huge catch “a bin liner” and then snagged the line, again!

To finish the evening we enjoyed fish and chips, reflected on the week and dozed off to sleep.
