Thursday 1st July

Today was sail day!

We were split into four groups - 2 groups of 8 had a big pirate-looking boat and the 2 other groups of 4 had a small sail boat. 

For the first part of our sail, we sailed along to Hamworth park so that we could eat our lunch. This took a while for those without a motor on their boat as there was not much wind this morning. They enjoyed being towed along and working hard with their paddles to try and get moving. 

We enjoyed our lunch in the park, behind the beach huts, which have an 18 year waiting list! 

After lunch, we sailed across to the island to see if we could find any seals. Unfortunately, we weren’t so lucky today. 

The wind was strong this time around and the small sail boats were flying along the water! It got quite choppy at times but the children loved this and were leaning back in the wind, dipping their hands in the water. 

We made it back safely and are now looking forward to having a BBQ on the beach for dinner! A fantastic last meal!
