5:00 this morning everyone woke up because Robbie woke us though we were meant to wake at 6:30 in the process waking up all crew. The departure at 8:00 was quick and smooth but we had to go back and drop off the compass guy. Then we finally actually set sail.
As we were gliding across the water, the skipper yelled “tacking” and we all grabbed the ropes we had been assigned ripping the skin of our hands. Later that day we got taught about tying different knots (gaining even more rope burn).
As we pulled up to Moreton Island, everyone stared up to the ginormous sand dune lurking ahead of us. Then we went sand boarding and so many got sand in their face while falling off their boards. Don’t forget your shoes, Ms Eb yells as we trudge through the stingray filled ocean. As 14 people run to jump into the small boat that came to take us back to the main ship, then we had dinner and started to relax. Matilda
