Today when we had woken up and pulled some summer clothes on we motored out of the bay, we where going back to Paxos. Peter and Chris wouldn’t be there though. When we where out of the bay Mummy called down to Daddy who was making water “I think there is enough wind to sail.” Daddy then came into the cockpit and he then put the main and genoa up.
 
After a while I asked if I could put the feathers out, Daddy said I could so I untangled the line and Daddy then let it out. Catrin soon came to the stern and she sat next to me, when we had reeled the feathers back in Daddy spotted some Dolphins, they swam a few meters away from the stern – the Dolphins where quite big!
 
When we arrived in the anchorage I had to pull the dingy in so that when we reversed the dingy rope wouldn’t get caught round the propeller, I had o do this until Mummy and Daddy had anchored. My hands where red after that. After lunch we swam of the back of the boat, I dived in – my goggles always came off!
When we where all dry and changed we jumped into the dingy and we motored to the dingy dock, Mummy drove the dingy – this time she was good at it. When we arrived we walked round the town, when we had had a look we went to a cafe and we got drinks.
 
When we got back to the boat Mummy cooked the tea whilst Harry and I tidied up. After tea we watched a film - the was really funny!
