11th August: White Watch Blog Update

Erika, White watch, 11th of August

 

Today was very interesting day. Firstly, it was the day when our race began. But before it, the captain and all crew gave us instructions about safety on the ship. Now we all know what to do if we need to abondon the ship or if someone fall of board. We know how serious it is, but it was really funny to see Emma with big red safety jacket. By the way, today is her birthday, so we sang to her and everyone signed on a card, so she get congratulations from all of us.

            Also, my watch was the first of our watches who began our „watch systém¨. It was very interesting to help crew with rigging, pulling the ropes. I know more about Kaliakra`s sails and how to do things which crew must do. Now, when Im writing this we have our last watch and it will end at the midnight. We‘re having stormy weather, but captain and the crew are determined about changing sails and I hope we‘ll win the race! And, also we have a starry night, so stars are steering our tall ship and we’re enjoying our time on deck!
