We started rough with difficulties inside the minibus. Then eventually the staff came to help us. After half an hour, we hit the road. We travelled for about an 3ish hour drive we stopped for a short break. Left and reached Portsmouth. Went over rules/safety precautions and set sail to isle of Wight. Reached after 3 hours after reaching had fajita and took a shower. Finally went to sleep.

Woke up at 6ish had breakfast and one group helped with cleaning up downstair while the other group helped with setting up. We went for a short walk. Coming back from the walk we were ready to go out form cowes to poole. Reached after 6 hours. Had lunch while we were on the way. Had a walk and went to tesco express to treat ourselves. And we are now preparing dinner.​

Day 3

Thursday, 19 June

We woke up at 7:30, we got straight up prepared the boat for the day. On the move one part of the crew went below deck to cook bacon sandwiches for breakfast to eat on the move. After finishing breakfast, we were surprised by fog which made it very hard to see our surroundings. Whilst the fog was around, we played a game to spot different things in the ocean for points cure our boredom.

Then we arrived at Lymington. Whilst docked we have done a variety of different activities but one of the most thrilling was climbing the mast of the boat.

Then we went for a walk with our crew to stretch our legs to Tesco’s to get dr pepper and capri suns and then on the way back to the boat we walked calmly.

Then the other part oof the crew who didn’t cook lunch made a delicious sausage and mash.

After eating we had a bit of time to play some boards games. Then settle down to go to sleep for the next adventure tomorrow.
