When we had got changed and when we had got ready to sail we set sail to Palermo. On the way we saw massive Dolphins, they came to the boat and they played at the bow. They didn’t stay for long like the last dolphins though. After breakfast we put up the main and genoa and we had the on the starboard (left) and the main on the port (right). Whilst we had both sails up we sailed and Daddy made water, when we drew close to Palermo we passed a big cruise liner and a big navy boat. You could feel the vibration of the cruise liner even though the liner was about six miles away! We had the fishing lines out, though Grandad was surprised that we didn’t catch anything as it was perfect trolling weather and we where doing a thirty six mile journey.
 
We soon took the genoa in and we had lunch, after lunch we arrived in the marina. The marina was full of cruise liners, cranes and sailing yachts, the water there was filthy and the water was covered in rubbish. When we had got ship shape we wondered into the town, we walked along the coast and we then walked amongst the flats and churches. There was a wedding going on and there where girls having there photos taken whilst sitting in a decorated horse and carriage. Whilst we where heading back we stopped at an ice cream place, the people next to our table they where having ice cream inside a bap. Harry, Catrin and I had normal ice creams whilst a Mummy and Daddy had beers.
 
When we got back to the boat Mummy and Daddy got ready to go out for dinner whilst Grandma and Grandad barbequed the beef stakes and the sausages, which we would have for dinner. Whilst Grandad was barbequing Harry made a video using an ipad, this made Grandad cross.
 
When Grandad had done the barbeque and when Grandma had made the salad we said goodbye to Mummy and Daddy and we ate our dinner in the cockpit, our dinner was really good especially the sausages. After dinner we got ready for bed and we then went to bed.
