Second post on sailing; and it\u2019s my ship\u2019s log!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 1 \u2013 7<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Come aboard. Tour the vessel \u2013 she\u2019s a lovely boat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Safety Briefings \u2013 what to do in the event of various emergencies: Flood, Fire, Man overboard, and Abandon ship. The general rule is alert the crew, grab your lifejacket and get on deck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On deck safety briefings. E.g. in rough weather, clip on to the safety lines that run along the deck with the harness on your lifejacket; don\u2019t get hit by the boom as it comes across; and don\u2019t slip on the slippery skylights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lifejacket safety \u2013 the lifejackets we had were self-inflating in water, but if for whatever reason they failed to inflate, you could pull the red cord at the bottom to manually inflate. They came with an harness to keep you attached to the vessel in the unlikely event that you were washed overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am PORT WATCH &amp; PORT AFT CABIN (bottom bunk). There are two watches on a boat: port and starboard, after the left and right sides of the ship. On this voyage there were five members of starboard watch and six of port watch, along with the four sea staff \u2013 Dan, the captain or skipper, Becky, the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Mate, Reggie, the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Mate, and Harvey, the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dinner cooked by port watch, so I helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We start the game of Boat Murder. This is a tradition on the <em>JL.<\/em> At the start of the voyage you draw pieces of paper naming a place, a person, and a thing from three cups. Over the course of the voyage, you have to hand that person that thing in that place, which \u2018kills\u2019 them. Kind of like active Cluedo. This is a brilliant game but may lead to everyone on board being distrustful of each other and not accepting anything from anyone without them putting it down first! For the rest of the evening we played card games, till it was time for the story and bed. Tonight\u2019s story was about the search for the perfect coffee bean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 2 \u2013 8<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wake up and have breakfast. Swab the decks and get a theory lesson about how to use the sails and other sailing equipment. Make sail and cast off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Motor out the harbour. We hoist the staysail, to balance the steering. Gybe up the Tamar river and anchor under the bridge for lunch. We have a knotting session down below, doing Figure of 8, Round turn and two half-hitches, and Bowline. All of these I know, so I got through this with ease and helped to teach some others who were struggling. [See How long is a piece of string (with knots in it?), 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Nov. 2023 for more knots.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We get back under way and motor down the river. Back at sea, we have a game where we race around the deck to find whichever object the skipper called out. Then we have a man overboard drill \u2013 luckily no one has to take a dip, we use a black buoy with a bucket tied to it as the casualty. Thankfully we are able to recover this substitute and then motor back to port, where we spend the rest of the day playing games and having fun. This evening\u2019s story was a recitation of <em>The Charge of the Light Brigade<\/em>, by Tennyson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 3 \u2013 9<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After the daily shipkeeping tasks, we go ashore for showers as the weather is horrible. I haven\u2019t got off <em>JL<\/em> since I stepped aboard on Sunday \u2013 it feels strange that we haven\u2019t been outside of our \u2018house\u2019 as it were, yet we\u2019ve gone so far and seen so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Showers over, we have a Rules of the Road at Sea session. This is less who has right of way and more who should give way to whom, though all vessels have a mutual responsibility to prevent incidents. I would recommend the Flip Cards on marine subjects (I have Rules of the Road, Code Flags, Lights and Shapes, and Buoyage system) to learn more about them. There is a long list of rules, but it would be too long for this blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Look around the engine room. The engine on <em>JL<\/em> is not fast but has a lot of torque, so it will still drive her in very heavy conditions, even if quite slowly. If all fuel tanks are full, she can be motored from Plymouth to the Isle of Wight before refuelling, but that would empty all the tanks. We must be careful not to set the fuel on fire, as that would look like you were on the losing end of a game of battleships and result in a sunk boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The final thing before we set sail is to climb the bowsprit. As you can see from last week\u2019s picture of the boat, the end of the bowsprit is a good length beyond the bow, and is above only water. So going up it is quite scary the first time. However, I manage it and get all the way up and then back on the opposite side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Set sail again. Once out of the harbour, it is very choppy and there was a swell running. We spend the afternoon tacking around the sound, before anchoring out in the bay just across into Cornwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After the sails and anchor chain go down, we put the \u2018anchored light\u2019 up. This is a single black ball, made by two interlocking circles, with a single white light under it. To all vessels, this means \u201cI am anchored\u201d. Useful if you want to prevent a collision with a moving boat after dark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dinner. We have cake for pudding as it\u2019s someone\u2019s birthday! Party games and stargazing after dinner, the sky is marvellous, and we see several constellations. Finally, we go to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 4 \u2013 10<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wake up, breakfast and deck scrub<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Points of sail lesson (the various angles at which a boat can be sailed according to the wind).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sails up and tack out, heading for round the headland and to the next town. Far too big a swell and people seasick and throwing up. Turn back. \u2013 n.b. If you are not seasick, but sea-nervous, like me, you should have a ginger biscuit, look at the deck or the horizon, and recite a poem, or a passage of a book, over and over again. Trust me, it helped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once back past the breakwater, we have some lovely sailing. The swell is less, but the waves are the right size for learning and the wind is nice. However, I still get hit right down the nose by the port outer jib sheet when trying to readjust the sails! We sail around for a bit, then head back up the river we had gone to two days before. Have lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tack and head down the river, sailing back for last night\u2019s anchoring spot. I get the inner jib down and stowed, which requires going up the bowsprit again! Less nervous this time, I had the job of stowing the sail to think about. By the time we get to the bay, it is too rough, so in the end we go back to the marina for that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Games, dinner, more games, then all ashore for showers. The ground keeps rocking and whenever I close my eyes, it has waves in it\u2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Story and bed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 5 \u2013 11<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wake up, breakfast, wash up, make sail and cast off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VERY foggy. Good lookout needed, especially as there are a cruise ship with an entourage of taxi boats to transport visitors from ship to shore and vice versa, and several ferries off Plymouth shore. On four sails we make pretty good speed, and get out quite quickly. Because it is so foggy, and the visibility at Very Poor, we are Out Of Sight Of Land \u2013 VERY COOL! It\u2019s rather fun. Even though we could have seen the land if the visibility was Good, I would count it as being away from any <em>terra firma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Brunch, and lunch. Sausage rolls and jacket potatoes, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I take the wheel. Long stint, tacking during the duration. So fun! Standing at the wheel, you have the whole ship at your command, save for the sails; you do need to turn the wheel quite a way for the ship to turn, but she will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Get the lower square sail, the coarse, up. It is hoisted by three pullies, one which also holds the staysail, and two which are also used to move the dinghy. Only used when sailing downwind, it is the second largest sail on board, and is very effective. However, you don\u2019t feel you\u2019re going fast, because you must take into account the speed of the boat downwind as well as the apparent wind speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sail back to land, downwind. Sails down and anchor the same as two nights ago. Dinner, Clear up, games, story, and bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 6 \u2013 12<sup>th<\/sup> April 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wake up, breakfast, general tidy up as we motor back to harbour. Clean the whole boat. Get everything ready to disembark, and finally leave the <em>Johanna Lucretia<\/em> at 12:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this isn\u2019t the end of the story! I intend to go back, sometime next year, and have more fun on the ocean wave. So \u201cfarewell and adieu to you readers of my blog\u201d * and see you soon!
