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.
