start with we woke up too late, 7 o?clock, and were told off by the
skipper, John. When we were ready we started are usual job, scrubbing the
deck! Then we went to our usual café around the corner from the shipyard,
we all had really yummy food to eat! On our way back Rishi barked very
loudly at a dog and it ran at him very fast Rishi was as scared as a cat
in water, but he survived in the end!
When we got back from the café everyone was tired, the only
thing we really did was fix the name the dinghy and had a
navigation lesson with John(zzzzzzz!).
Later on Ani, Aish, Rishi and I went for a walk to get an
ice-cream, I got a delicious corneto and Ani tried out a new
choco-taco that looked very yummy. On are way back from walking a
lady asked all of us to go to her house to see an experiment she
saw on an advert, this was a diet coke bottle and some mentos
inside and a skewer pierced in the top, she took out the skewer and
opened the diet coke bottle and a huge fountain was made, it was so
cool.
Aisha and I saw a puffer fish in the water, Rishi came running along and
we really wanted a closer look so we got a bag and tried to catch it but
it swam away. We kept looking as we really wanted to see it closer. Just
as we were giving up I was going up on the boat when I saw it! I quickly
called Rishi and this time we had a huge bucket to catch it in. We were
about to catch it when we heard Ani shout ?SEAL!!? we quickly got up and
saw two gorgeous seals swimming right near are boat!! It was amazing! They
went away so Rishi and I carried on finding fish we had three or more
chances of catching them but missed. Finally we caught one!! Our first
ever fish!! We were so happy we caught a fish and seen two seals! In the
evening we went for a quick ride in the R.I.B and then it was the end of a
great day! Tomorrow we are sailing to Portland.
