They rounded the Bull in the dark in my absence!! I was fast asleep in my bunk, very unlike me. Maybe I have confendence enough to dose off. Shame I missed it though as I had never been up close and personal to the beast in the dark and as expected the lads said it was impressive in a kind of ominous 'I am big and you are small' kind of way.
I was woken up just before 3am to be told we are at Pipers Sound and I sleepily crawled out of my pit to supervise the nights anchorage. Needn't bothered- they were fine.
We had a late start and after breakfast Hugh skippered us back through the sound to Adrigole. We gave Jessy her weekly scrub down and Noel Fiona and Hugh took her off the pontoon and put her back to her mooring while I prepared lunch to be served on the balcony at the centre. (pics attached to prove we dined al fresco)
The Pink Princess was paddled ashore in tru Pochahuntus (spelling!!) style by the boys and she didn't even get her tootsies wet on the slip.
After lunch Gail got serious and gave the trainees the yachtmaster exam paperwork which was taken away to be studied over the weekend.
Next week we get down and dirty for Yachtmaster prep- lets see how they get on???
