When we got to Fleetwood dock after a short drive we unpacked the shopping and luggage into trolleys and walked around to Tenacity and even though there were a few close calls none of the luggage/shopping ended up in the sea. Then we choose are beds, Melissa, Hannah, Anna and Katrina at the back of the boat (kitchen/dining room) and Georgina, Gaby, Beth and Cerys at the front in the smaller room.
After we had unpacked our bags Liz served us Bangers and Mash our first meal onboard tenacity. Just after ten we headed to bed but it did not mean we were going to sleep… Hannah and Melissa did sleeping bag adverts as a laugh at the back of the boat which we all heard about this morning whilst at the front we chatted while Beth demonstrated how to be sick in your hands and decorate your sleeping bag at the same time. She is ok now though, she did not know what the smell in the room was until reminded this morning.
This morning the back of the boat had not been to sleep at all and in the front Georgina woke up a very, very sleepy Gaby. The front made a breakfast of toast, cereal and Gaby made cups of teas… her official job. Hannah and the rest were dressed and looked extremely interesting for all the wrong reasons.
In the morning Ian took us out into the Fleetwood Channel were we got our first taste of sailing. After a lunch of sandwiches and bacon butties served by the back of the boat. We went on the RIB and had a quick safety talk and learnt how to put up the sail. We have just had a pasta bake and we are relaxing on board the boat.

Well Gaby, that's it. I expect an expertly made cup of tea next time I see you :-) Great to see all your pics, sounds like you had a fab week. Glad there weren't any pictures of being sick though. Sounds like there was too much of that going on for my liking. Yuck!
