Surprise on the sea

Hello everyone!

Guess what  happened! When I was thinking that nothing else can surprise me, on daily morning assembly , captain told us , that our ‘stop off’ in Plymouth is cancelled because of the weather. It meant that before us  there are two , maybe three weeks on the sea , again. Next planned port was in Spain.

First week was pretty calm. We sailed across the English Channel . The view was amazing. We were passing by a lot of container ships, so we had to be careful. 

It was time to swam out to the open ocean. Water was  crystal clear. Sun , breeze and wind in our sails. There is no place on earth like this. It was breathtaking. I’ll never forget it.

On the ship , nothing can be so easy. When we were sailing through place called Bay of Biscay ( near France) the storm came. Officers warned us , that there is no way to escape from the storm on Biscay. This time, we were ready!

That’s all for now, bye!

Day on the ship

Hi everybody!

You know how a typical day looks like: you wake up, go to school, go back home, eat, do homework and sleep. Sometimes it can be a bit boring. When you’re on a ship everyday seems to  be the same, but it’s definitely not true.

Whole ship is waking up at the same time - half past 7- because of the ringing alarm all over the deck. At 8 o’clock there is a ceremonial assembly and raising up the flag. Then - breakfast and everybody do their duties. Someone is helping mechanic , another one do the cleaning. It is important to share responsibilities when you’re on a ship. 

 There are school lessons of course , but hardly ever “homework”. There are also days without school – just working on a ship.

Day on a sea isn’t strictly planned and you never know what to expect. In every moment there can be sail alarm. Sometimes when you’re sleeping , sometimes when you taking a shower.. Life one a ship is strongly connect to weather , but I like surprises

.

That’s all for today. Bye guys!
