We started our day by getting on the bus and going to the pier to meet the Swan. At the pier there was a big ship which was loading old cars to take them away. We went off on the Swan in two groups, one went in the morning and the other one went in the afternoon.

Both groups sailed the Swan from the pier, around an island and back again. The morning group got hot chocolate and the afternoon group got to have their lunch on board!

We learned how to put up the sails (well.. the first group did, the second group had some problems with a knotted up sail!!), tie some different knots, coil ropes and steer the boat. It was really fun and we got to see  seals and we passed the ferry going back to Unst. The ferry beeped its horn at us!
