Today on the 27th of march we woke up at 7 O’clock and then we got dressed then we went to play with our friends, first we helped James fill a bottle of water for the dog to drink but when we had don that we had to set sail.  Just before that we gave them a memory stick to put a fishing book on to help me catch some fish.  We then set off.

 

I had to take the fenders in and put them away and once we were ship shape we had breakfast.

 

On the journey we saw four tuna, 4 sunfish, dolphins and thousands of jelly fish.

 

When we saw the tuna in the bay we quickly rigged the fishing line and used fred the fish our special lure to try to catch the tuna.  We never managed to catch them so then my dad put the spinnaker up but that made us drop our speed to three knots so we put it away and had to motor, then we felt a tug on the fishing rod but it was only the hook bouncing on the water. We put out another line with a spoon lure and a hydrovane so the hook would sink further.

 

We still didn’t catch anything and all we managed to do was tangle both lines together. Fred got so tangled it took dad 15 minutes to untangle him.

 

We finally arrived at Moraira at about 1600hrs, we tied up to the fuel dock and filled up with diesel. There were thousands of small jelly fish around the boat. Dad added some green liquid into the tank so we dont get problems with the diesel. The marinero showed us where to berth and we tied up. When we had tied the boat up we saw a shoal of barracuda and could even see the concrete block we tied up too at the bottom of the sea.

 

Once we had tidied the boat up we went to the office to fill in forms and then we walked into the town and went to the playground on the beach and the park.

 

We then had tea and went to bed.
