Thursday 22nd September – Away day to Piel Island






I woke up to the sound of the engine. We got our waterproofs on and headed straight to the deck. I eat my cornflakes and I spilled my cereal and milk on the floor. After everyone finished their breakfast, we headed out of the lock gates, heading towards Piel Island.








On the way we had Alex being sick 5 times and Bill threw up 4 times and Will 4 times . After 3 hours of sailing we reached Piel Island. We lowered the dinghy into the water and headed to the Island. When we all reached the Island and checked the King of the Islandwas in (because it is an individual country), but he wasn’t in, so we headed to the castle of the island.







When we arrived at the Castle we looked around and then played tag for a bit and then headed back to the boat. When we headed off again, only Will was sick on the way back and we pulled into the harbour (Fleetwood) after another 3 hour sail.
