Today at ten o’clock after we had had breakfast, done our homework, got changed, made the water from the water maker and got ship shape Daddy, Catrin and I got into the dingy and went to try out the under water camera.

 

(The water maker sucks in the water from underneath the hull, through the strainer, a filter used to take out the bad parts of the water. It then goes through a booster pump that sucks in the water in that then goes through the other two filters. After that it enters into a high pressure pump and gets pumped up  to 50 bar pressure it then goes through two membranes that only let water molecules pass. The rest of the water that is salt water and contaminants gets pumped back into the sea. That is how the water maker works.)

 

We first took under water photos of the anchor to see if it had moved and to see what position it was it was in. We then took pictures of fish for fun, we also wanted to find out what type of fish they were. Our method for taking under water photos of fish is to: throw in small pieces of bread and then wait till the fish come and eat it keep on throwing the bread in the water whilst the person with the under water camera is taking  photos of them whilst they are eating.

I found out that the fish we took photos of were a type of fish called Maxarras(a type of sea bream). When we had done this we set sail from our anchorage in Formentera to Ibiza town. On our sail there were no waves just swell from other boats this made the sail enjoyable for everyone. On the sail we motored the whole way as it was not sailing weather. When we were arriving in Ibiza there were a few English people watching us arrive, the man that helped us more up told us that there is no security only a camera. As soon as we had got all ship shape and tidy we had our lunch because it was two o’clock.

 

After lunch we had some of our Easter chocolates these were Delicious! When lunch had ended we went out to a little walk around the town, the town had two parts an old part and a new part. There were barely any Spanish people about because it was a Sunday, their rest day. We walked half way around the town looking for a play-ground for Catrin. After walking and looking we came to a castle with a great view you could see the whole of Ibiza town, it was an amazing view! When we had finished our small walk we walked back to the boat so Mummy could cook our tea, Coronation Chicken. As soon as we had got back to the boat Harry and I played Lego with Harry’s Minecraft Lego. After we had had our tea and had played our exciting game of Minecraft we had a face- time call from our cousins Molly and Archie they told us about what was happening at home and things they got for Easter. When the call had ended we had to read our books for half an hour and then go to bed.
