Day 31 - boating adventures, a guest post from Samuel!

By Unknown -


We had an amazing day today. We watched a lifeboat display in the sea. And we even got a tour inside . It was an all weather lifeboat and it can carry 40 people. Just yesterday it rescued 2 people . There are 7 people working on board it. Its maximum speed is 25 knots! Its length is the size of two camper vans and has an extra little lifeboat!!! 


Last sunday we went sailing with our cousin . I had a go at sailing the ship and we even saw some navy ships. 

Photos to follow, soon.
