Logging on the Steadfast

On camp we went on the Stedfast which was a sailing ship. We all had stations that we went around. They were all important to sailing the ship.

The first station that we were on was called the log. It was a measurement of how fast the ship was going.

We had to let a rope with knots in it out for 10 seconds and then reel it in. The number of knots that went out were how fast we were going. On average we were going at 2 knots the highest we reached was 4.5 knots top speed
