Today, we woke up at the beautiful Lee Bay and started preparing breakfast, which included bacon and eggs. Shortly after, we upanchored and traversed out of the bay, with the skipper of the day, Ellie, and first mate/navigator Maria working together to keep our heading. Despite the very windy conditions of 25 knots, we successfully raised the main sail with two reefs, followed by the jib.
After a few tacks, we headed inland to Cooper island, where we managed to moor on the first attempt. A quick lunch of pizza bagels, a personal favourite for many, and the scuba divers were whisked away for a short brief and gear set ups, whilst the ASAs got to experience the brilliance of the Colgates.
Water sports commenced with great enthusiasm and success, featuring jam-packed tubing and paddleboarding, during which lots of colourful jellyfish were spotted. Ocean showers and dinner were next, with the kids cooking up a storm with a delicious chicken tikka masala. Boat meeting and card games were the best way to end the day, not to mention the cookies and whipped cream!
