Sunny sailing



After a fairly noisy night at anchor by Piel Island we had sausage butties and cereal for our breakfast. Once kitted we picked up the anchor and set off down the submarine channel out towards the wind farm. On the way we spotted some seals both in the water and on the beach.

We were on our way to Fleetwood under sail, the seas were rough stirred up by the gale seven winds. The boat rocked side to side going over at some points to 250, this caused Dougie, Matthew and Alex to be sick. The weather was lovely wall to wall sun. After tacking up the Lune Deep channel, which Dougie was especially good at, we arrived at Fleetwood to enjoy a late lunch made by Max.

We had chance to wash ourselves and the boat in the marina. Tea was made by Alex and Oliver we had pasta bolognaise and was scrumptious, most of us managed to eat it except Alex who dropped half of it on his trousers. After tea we learnt some knots and went for a wander around the marina.
