Today, at half past nine we set sail to Almerimar. We had our breakfast on the move, we had cereals, Catrin and I had Weetabix whilst Harry, Mum and Dad had cornflakes. When we had left the marina it began to get foggy, very foggy so foggy we couldn’t see land anywhere for three quarters of the journey. As we went along I learnt, that there is less tide in the Mediterranean Sea because of the moons gravitational pull is weaker than it is at home. As we went along again it felt like we were in the actual middle of nowhere, as there was no land just the fog and the sea. Today we didn’t see any fish as it was way too foggy, it wasn’t foggy just in the morning it was foggy in the evening as well. We had to test the fog horn so if we were in an emergency in the fog.  As soon as it was half past twelve it was time for lunch for lunch, I had a sandwich with walkers crisps it was yummy! After we had lunch Harry and I both had a maths lesson As soon as we got there we had to wait till four o’clock to check in, after we had checked in I had to help lower the gang plank, I had to close the sea cocks and help tidy up. After we had done all of these things, we started to explore the lonely town of Almerimar. After exploring the town, we went to a super market to get food and drink, we next went to the dentist because Dad had a loose implant cap whilst we were waiting for him we read this awful book with photos of the most gruesome real and false teeth it was disgusting! . When we got back to ZULU we had tea, stew after this Harry sang out loud “Five seconds Five!”  (from the song spoon on the table)  and threw a tea spoon in the bin! This was hilarious I could not stop laughing for two minutes! Soon after this we had to read our books before bed time witch was at half past eight at night.
