Welcome dear readers, today we have set sail on the Challenger 2. On board this mighty vessel we have learned to do many different things such as tying knots.

When we got on the boat at 1PM. We then got assigned into two groups to do our tasks and we got a tour around the vessel and got briefs on safety and what to do on the boat. And just before we set sail, we got a tutorial and got our life vests fitted to ensure we do not drown.

When we set sail, two people at the front and three people at the back and three in the middle to release the roving fender and slip the stern as to prevent us from hitting of the docks. Once we set sail into open waters Toby saw bees and was astonished by their distance from the mainland “the bees of the ocean” – DR McKinstry. There was also noticeable changes to the scenery as we got closer and closer to Bangor and could see Newcastle in the distance. Noah, Toby and Jude went to the front of the vessel where they then helped Sharon prepare for parking at the docks.

What we are doing now is different for both teams as one of the teams is currently washing after our team made dinner, we are typing this blog (we includes Noah and Jude) the rest are talking about a concert and singing about magic, there is word of us going onto land to get showers but we will see how that goes later.

What we are doing tomorrow is making breakfast for both teams and preparing to set sail then start sailing towards Scotland where we can go to a giant CO-OP which was the highlight of Jonah’s previous journey on this vessel.
