DATE: 11 April 2024
POSITION: Deanbillb Bay, Dunwich
REPORT: White Watch
Today we woke up in Tangalooma, we hopped on the tender and travelled to shore. We climbed a really steep sand dune, and rolled down it. Oliver played some amazing tunes at the top on his trumpet. Afterwards, we ate some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Then comes the highlight of everyone’s day, the knot comp! We competed in the clove hitch knot. We obviously won, reigning champions.
From there we hoisted sails and headed south towards Peel Island. The wind got us on a really steep tilt, it was really fun and a bit scary. For lunch we had some delicious burritos made by the amazing Cath. We were going to go to Horseshoe Bay, but the wind was so strong, so we went to Dunwich instead.
Later on we had a full boat meeting to choose our new Skipper, Sailing Master, Navigator and Watch Leaders. Jake was elected to be Skipper, Samantha is now the Sailing Master and Shane is the new Navigator. Tomorrow these guys will be in charge of the boat, finally giving the staff a rest. For dinner we had stew with gravy, potatoes, and vegetables, it was so yummy! Now we are currently on watch and will be heading to bed soon awaiting the journey a head of us. Watch out for White Watch!
