Today on 9th march 2015 we woke up at 7 o’clock in the morning and had breakfast.

For breakfast we had cornflakes and Weetabix. Then we started to set off to Estepona. On the way we saw a British submarine, an escape pod which is like a large life boat for a ship, a water fall and a war ship. Over our boat radio we heard a Royal Navy British ship chasing a Spanish ship out of the British waters  and we also heard an American war ship asking to overtake another ship. The sail at the stern (back) is called the main and the big sail is called the gennoa.  I had to steer because I was sea sick but I survived, before I was sea sick I was lying down in the cockpit and we were going between 7 and 8 knots.  It wasn’t that bad then finally we arrived at Estepona in Spain and we saw some strange birds there. We moored the boat so we could book into the marina. We then went to wash the washing and brought some washing tokens after that we went to get some money out of the bank. When we went to check that the washing was ready we had some good news and bad news. The good news was the washing was ready the bad news was we couldn’t fit all the washing in the washing machine so we had to get some more washing tokens. Then our boat helper Steve brought the dinghy back.
