We couldn't find any treasure on Piel island

Today we woke up to an early start (6 o’clock- oh dear). We motored from Fleetwood dock to the middle of the sea – near Peil Island. The journey took approximately 4 hours. Some of us had a chance to steer the boat and some had some necessary sleep. We saw dolphins! They were near Blackpool! When we were near Peil Island, we spotted lots of seals that were noisy. We ate breakfast on the go which was bacon sandwiches that were made by James.
We arrived at Piel Island and anchored. We then took the little boat (rib) over to the Island and took a very unhealthy picnic. On arrival at Peil Island, there were 2 gorgeous black Labradors that were very friendly (called Sophie and Meg). We ate the very healthy picnic and then went for a wander. There were chickens and turkeys that were scary. We went up to the castle ruins and helped an old man over a small hill! After that we had a long walk all around the beach with James and Callum- supposedly looking for treasure! We were very unsuccessful but we did find Oystercatcher’s eggs and a fishing wire.
Once we had finished our walk we headed back to Tenacity where Mary had baked us bread rolls to have with our soup. It was Starboard’s turn to make Tiffin cake so Port learnt how to drive the little dinghy with Callum. When Starboard was driving, Port learnt how to tie the clove hitch, bowline, round turn and two half hitches and the figure of eight knots. Then we had a chill-out session- where much reading was done. For tea we had Spaghetti Bolognese which Starboard prepared and cooked. The onions were obviously too much for some (crying was unavoidable)! Mary baked an amazing Bread and Butter Pudding. We were very unsuccessful with our fishing attempts.
