Today at ten o'clock in the morning when we were all up and ready to start our sail we set sail to a place called Santa Eulalia. On the journey it was really windy and stormy so we had to hold onto something or we would fall over onto the floor. After we had been going for a few minutes we realised we had forgot to put the dingy somewhere where it wouldn't fill up with water. Daddy had to leave Mummy steering and move the dingy round to the back of the boat where there weren't big waves. On the journey we couldn't go fishing or see any dolphins because of the wind and the metre and a half waves.

As soon as our windy and wavy sail had ended we all helped tidy the boat up, as soon as we had done this Catrin, Daddy, Harry and I all went to a small marina office to check in. After we had checked in we went back to the boat and moved the boat to where it was meant to be and had our lunch, when lunch had ended we decided to look around the town and look for a play-ground for Catrin. After we had been playing in the play-ground we had found for quite a while we saw a girl from school, Trixie. Mummy and Daddy chatted to her parents for a while whilst Catrin, Harry and I all drank our water we had got from a small Cafe. When Mummy and Daddy had finished chatting we we had to back to the boat so we could have our tea. After tea we read our books whilst Catrin watched TV, when we had read our books we had to go to bed as it was Eight o'clock.
