YTH2303- Rā tuarima – Day Five

We kickstarted today with a boot camp start where we took the dingy to the beach for some relaxing yoga, laps on the beach, and a swim back to the ship. It was an energising way to begin our day and after French toast for breakfast we rolled into learning more about sailing. From weather to celestial navigation, we were all engaged and intrigued and eager to learn more! However after a brief interruption by some freshly baked cinnamon rolls from one of our crew members Kym, we moved into some more major achievements! Everyone got up in the rigging and completed the Tucker challenge! We also got the opportunity to drive the dingy before an early afternoon pool party! Soon we upped anchor to go and explore Motu Arohia where we checked out the lookout and played some Tug-o-war. We are now in Otupoho Bay and gearing up to go play some spotlight!
