Challenger 4 - Challenger 4 Day Ten
PARTY!!!!!!!
Today has been an absolute blast! We have officially made it half way across the Atlantic and are closer than ever to St Lucia, which we celebrated in style. Ever since the crew joined the boat the skipper and mates have been going on about the half way party, and how we should all dress up for the occasion. Each watch dressed up together and it was brilliant, we had a selection of pirates, super heroes, hippies and Mary with her three wise men, all coming together to enjoy this wonderful day. Everyone did really well with their outfits considering they were created only out of stuff we could find on the boat.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day for this celebration, it has been completely flat and calm, which normally would be really annoying, but it made life a lot easier for the day. So, it all started out with our lovely skipper making everyone scrambled eggs for breakfast (thank you Sue) After that the mothers got busy in the kitchen preparing for lunch, and the rest of the crew got busy with the outfits.
In the afternoon we had a couple of party games to play organised by Mate Amelia. These included stuffing our faces with Marshmallows and trying to complete a phrase, quick cracker eating, cheesy puff throwing and balloon popping – after this most of crew decided to take the rest of the day off and enjoy lazing around with a nice cold beverage.
As we were chilling on deck and discussing how we hadn’t seen a boat for the last couple of days a super yacht turned up out of the blue and we instantly decided to try and make friends with them, but unfortunately all we got was a couple of waves on deck from them, since they were going a lot faster than us and simply couldn’t stay for our party.
In the evening we decided to observe the heavens for a while – the constellations we saw where Pegasus, Ursa Minor, Grus and Andromeda – we are trying to learn five each day.
