We Caught a Fish!

Finally, a fish! Hannah M and Hannah W caught a fish with their teamwork skills; they called it JimBob McCracken-Waters!


This morning, as a team, we all cleaned up the boat. Next, we all had a drive of the dingy. We each got a score out of 10, from Ian, of how we drove and parked the dinghy. Harriet got 9 ¾, therefore becoming the winner. Several games of poohead (card game) later, we went on deck to wait for a lifeboat to zoom down the ramp. Unfortunately, we are still waiting. Mary was very disappointed as she had waited from previous Tenacity trips to see this.

We couldn't sail today because there was not enough wind. Starboard cooked flapjacks and rocky road and they were both YUMMMYYY! After having spuds and several fillings for lunch, we went on another trip in the dinghy to the island. For three whole, fun, hours we played Sardine Protector! Hannah M was upset when she got found by everyone twice. We then had a snack and continued playing. After collecting mussels and getting very muddy we climbed back into the dinghy and headed back to Tenacity. We then cleaned ourselves with sea water.

For the rest of the evening we fished and chilled out while Port made tea. We had fish, chips, peas and sweet corn, which we were very surprised with when Rhiannon ate her vegetables.
Sadly, we had to set JimBob free in the evening. We all got our lifejackets on and had a ceremony for the fish, but then noticed he wasn't there. We all cried. Then Sam owned up that he had hid the fish in another bucket of water. We all cheered! On the other hand, we still had to set him free. We all said goodbye to JimBob and set him to the big blue ocean where he belongs!
