The voyage to Piel Island

This morning we got up at 7:30 which was easier than yesterday (6:00AM). We had a quick breakfast where we just put all the cereals on the table on deck and chose which of them we wanted whilst Krystl made toast.


We then reversed out of the dock which Ian said usually doesn’t go very well as the boat doesn’t steer very well backwards so it doesn’t like going the way that you want it to.

We sailed all day from then but as we were in the middle of the sea there wasn’t much to see and no one was in the mood as it was very rough, everyone was tired and feeling quite sea sick. Steve made us some sausage sandwich’s to try and perk us up. We happily ate them and then a few people went to sleep on deck.

After we had all caught up on some sleep and were feeling better Maisie and Zoe made lunch which was jacket potatoes. This made everyone feel better and we all cheered each other up throughout the afternoon by asking each other riddles, singing and telling rubbish jokes.

As we arrived at Piel Island we saw lots of seals. Then we tried to put the anchor down and had a few difficulties but in the end we managed. After the anchor was down we could all relax. Then Ciara, Amie, Amy and I made tea which was curry and rice.

We now have time to chill out for the evening before going to bed for the night and having a long sleep as we have a lie in tomorrow.

Hermione, Ciara, Amie&Co.
