First day frolics

When everybody gathered on the boat on Sunday afternoon, we decided we would stay at Glasson Dock for the night and make our way to Fleetwood on Monday afternoon. Monday morning came and everybody was ready to learn about how to tie different types of knots and how to set the sails up. We put tying knots into practise when we got the boat ready to leave Glasson Dock and head through the lock before heading out the Lune Channel and out into Morecambe Bay.


We didn’t use the sails today because we had to arrive in Fleetwood by 7pm, but we are very excited about using them tomorrow. We let Ian and Matt helm the boat as we enjoyed the view and had a great laugh. We soon arrived in Fleetwood where we docked the boat and used all of our knots knowledge again. Whilst the other team prepared dinner our group went with Matt to the toilets and made up a rather special dance which we did down the bridge #YOLO. So far we have really enjoyed what we have been learning over today and hope to use our knowledge in more sailing, and hope to get the best experience out of this week! Missing both of our mums and dads loads love you!
