First of the Year 8's!

We arrived at Glasson Dock to get on Tenacity of Bolton the boat that we will be staying on for a whole week. The first thing that we did was to find our bunks and put our stuff on them and unpack. Storage for each berth is very large if you are at the back of the boat and if there isn’t enough space to fit your whole bag in the locker they are big enough for the contents of your bag.
After unpacking we had dinner of Bangers and Mash, which was very nice and we discovered later one of the only meals that Colin and Mary (our skipper and crew) will make this week. After dinner had been served Ian(the third crew member) arrived and nicked some food off us.
Following dinner we went for a little walk around the basin and saw a boat go through the lock that we will be going through on Tuesday morning and Colin explained how it works, then we went to play football and frisbee on the local (rather overgrown) footie field.
After our walk we made hot chocolate - very nice, and then took the piccie above. Over hot chocolate we discussed our watches for the week, Port and Starboard, and how the teams take turns in scrubbing the decks, making meals and washing up etc..
Now we are off to clean our teeth and then off to bed!
