Monday 11th October

We woke early to find we had a busy day ahead…starting with breakfast! We had the chance to head for showers but all decide to pass and just clean our teeth instead. At breakfast we talked about our plan for the day and discovered we were going to sail to the Isle of Man, somewhere none of us had been before! We were aiming to sail to a place called Douglas on the Isle of Man, and it was going to take us about ten hours to get there. Along the way we all helped to get the sails out, and learnt how to tie knots and coil ropes. While sailing we made tea – so we could eat on deck while still heading for the Isle of Man. This proved very challenging but we all enjoyed the meal at the end. After tea, the sun had set and the stars came out – we had an amazing view of all the stars in the sky as we sailed along in the dark and could see the whole the the Milky Way. We arrive in Douglas late but happy, and glad to work towards our beds.
