Ketch – South Coast Exploration Adventure – KT117A
A group of 16-17 year olds join us for a 4-night exploration voyage. Follow their journey below.
Day 1
Tuesday, 6 August
Today was really an extravagant day. We sailed on the sea. I steered the boat for a while. It was really fun! We left Portsmouth and travelled all the way to the Isle of White. We cooked dinner for the crew – we had some scrumptious chicken fajitas. It was sunny. There were no clouds. The ocean was blue. Cards and games was a great way to pass time. We saw a big police boat, it made the boat rocky. Some of us felt sick. After dinner we washed up and wrote this paragraph. After dinner we are going to sunbathe and relax. We found out that lights out is at 10:30pm (NOT FUN!!). WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DAY!!! YIPPEEE!! We are all excited for what tomorrow will bring!

Day 2
Wednesday, 7 August
The water was wet. It was very choppy. We almost fell off. We went to the beach. It was sandy. The price of shampoo cost me my nan and her garden. The incredible, exciting sailing was very exhilarating. The views was phenomenal absolutely flabbergasting.martha set off my life jacket,what a sily thingn to do. Bacon slapped like a wet fish on the ocean this morning. Lunch was very srumdibidydumptios. Dinner was interesting. Me very good at spell. We ran on beach. I found a sea shell. We swam and got water from a old lady. I asked for shampoo at the beach and no. We did some sail competitions.
We used the emergency tiller (#lol no emergencies). The weather was bad. We are going to do some fishing tonight. No one was sick. Hopefully we will catch some stake. I love the boat lots and lots and lots.
Harry, Cameron, Jack and Eli.
Day 3
Thursday, 8 August
In the early morning when the water was still and the wind was calm all the inmates arose from their slumber. The morning started with a breakfast served by the one and only Rueben Crew and the raising of the anchor and the catching of a seven-foot baby dragon caught by Cameron. We set sail into the choppy waters and gusting winds. We raced along the raging seas at a top speed of 40 knots. The boat barely held itself together as cupboards flew across the room. Cameron was sick. As we surfed the waves into the harbour we smelt the sweet aroma of poo and Lymington. Lunch was just about half decent as the Martha crew cooked it. As we arrived at the marina some of the inmates had to deliver some heavy duty packages. SHOPPING TIME!! The gang pulled up to the streets of Lymington. There was mayhem everywhere. As we prowled the high-street we spotted the perfect place for all of our purchasing needs, the esteemed pound land. Cameron bought roleplay handcuffs. Freddie and the soon to be birthday boy went on a little date to (shall not be named) for some chicken strips. We returned to the boat strapped with the finest arsenal of weapons (one bubble gun) the streets of Lymington were left in ruins. Finally, without setting fire to the kitchen, dinner was served with a side plate of baby food (milky mash). The inmates finally took a shower as they all smelt like s**t. Cameron got a new hairstyle. As the sun went down the inmates got ready for bed, but jest before they did, as they played the worst game of Uno they have ever experienced in their entire lifetime. THE END
Day 4
Friday, 9 August
Today is the last day. Thank the lord. This morning we had an exquisite eggs, bacon and muffins, wow! We proceeded to do a man over board, after this I realised I should never trust Cameron. With anything. Furthermore we set sale. The sun was shining, vibes were immaculate and it was my birthday, what a way to celebrate. We decided for some reason to go in circles to make our life’s just a bit more difficult. Despite this the inmates had a great time navigating the water and dodging the sharks. Fishing went well – not. We didn’t even see a flipping fish. For dinner was curry served by Martha’s (reindeer) crew. It was absolutely “spiffing”!!! After dinner cake was served which was previously purchased at Tesco. We are going to swim now hopefully no one drowns. That would be very sad. I can now drive, YAY. To round off the day, the inmates were full of high spirits however excited to go home. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoyed the blog.
