The Steadfast

 Bow Watch / Look Out

On camp we went on the Steadfast which is A big sailing boat.

The owners of the boat,  Grace & Laurence set up seven stations There was the Plankton Net, the Navigation, The Bow watch, speed, Lead line, Helm, Dredge. Our first station was bow watch.

For this we had to communicate with the Helm by using the face of the clock so if there was a log straight ahead we would tell the helm , log at 12 o'clock.

We were also looking for common birds/sea life through binoculars. Plus there was a  challenge for getting a picture of a seal while it was out of the water  and first to spot a dolphin.

So That was my First activity and one of my favourites. This job is rather important so I am glad I learned how to do it.
