Today we boarded the ship from Manly Marina at about 8am. The ship left the marina at 10am, our group hoisted the main sail while the other groups hoisted the fore, stay and jib sails. The main sail was eventually dropped due to thirty knot winds. We travelled 11 nautical miles for 4 hours until we reached the shore of north Moreton Island where we anchored at Bulwer. After a while we had a backstay competition which white watch won and a knot tying competition which red watch won. Dinner was chicken drumsticks, rice and carrots and peas with gravy and for desert apple danishes.
