Today at eight o’clock in the morning I woke up, I then quickly brushed my teeth, after that I then did my hair and when I had done all this I put my life jacket on and I then went upstairs and I then saw that we where on our way to Sardinia! After I had been upstairs for about five minutes Catrin woke up, I went down stairs with Mummy to help get her ready for the sail. Soon after Catrin had woken up Harry woke up, when Harry had woken up we all had our breakfast – jam on toast. When we had eaten our breakfast Daddy went to check on the hand line which we where trolling behind us, he checked the line and he then said “ I think we have caught a fish everyone!!!” Daddy pulled the hand-line’s line in when we could see the end of the line we all saw a gigantic fish, Harry passed Daddy a blue cloth, Daddy then hoisted the fish on board. Harry and I both then got our photos taken with Harry’s giant fish, when we had had our photos taken with the fish Daddy got out the Dartmouth sign and he then cut the fish’s head and tail off when he had done this he took all the fish’s digestive tubes out. Daddy’s job was disgusting, when he had finished with the fish he rapped it up in Clingfilm when he had wrapped it up in Clingfilm he put the fish into a bin bag and he then put the fish into the fridge.
 
After we had dealt with the fish we passed quite a few big ships which where loaded with goods, one of the sailing boats that we passed was sailing all the way to place in south Africa! Most of the boats which we passed where at least more than thirty - five miles away!  Soon after we had seen the big ships, the sailing boats and after catching the big fish we had our lunch, when we where eating our lunch we realised that we could no longer see the Balearics as we where in international waters. After lunch Harry, Catrin and I played lots of different games with our new playmobil that we brought from a toy shop the other day. After Catrin, Harry and I had been paying games for about four and a half hours. Soon after Harry, Catrin and I had all played our games that we where playing we had out tea, Pizza. The pizza was a margarita pizza, it was delicious! When we had eaten our tea and when we had cleaned all the plates away Harry asked Daddy if we could stay up till the sun has set, Daddy told us that we could stay up that long as long as when the sun has set we go to bed straight away. Whilst the sun was setting Harry, Catrin  and I all chatted, it took the sun about half an hour set completely, when the sun had set Harry, Catrin and I went to bed whilst Mummy and Daddy sailed the boat all night.....To be continued
