10a.m. I saw a killer whale in the distans! It was time for me to row again. The sun was rflecting on the water, that made the water very glittery then a pack of dolfins came past.
TOM
I had to clam back in the ship it was time for lunch and we had chicken tica and rice it was lovely then my 2 hours shift started after 10 minits I was shatterd then the most amazing thing happened I saw a whale plus it was a killer whale!
KYLE
I was walking to the front when I saw some wood was missing. I went to get my toolbox but it was not there it was out at sea with all our tools in. I had no choice I had to jump into the freezing, sparkling sea.
THOMAS
On the boat in the morning I actually saw a flying fish and it looked like it was so proud and peaceful. It made me feel like my day on the boat was going to be great!

You really do not want to eat expedition food at all. It is horrible, I am really sick of this food. One it is dry, two it’s horrible, three it looks like baby sick. If I eat any more I am going to be ill.
MEGAN B
The boat was going from side to side and I thought I was going to DIE! When I had finished rowing my arms, legs and hands were acing so much I could not do eneything that used arms, legs and hands, well I could only eat. I had to eat expedition food and it was HORRIBLE!!!
IMOGEN
I started rowing at 1 o’clock in the morning and stopped at 3 o’clock and I was shatterd! It is so exhausting because I’m constantly rowing and rowing, if I just had a little bit more sleep then I could do what I like sotch as: fishing, swimming, eating, boat repairs even dancing in a chicken soot. I even might be able to have a shower but it would have to be with SHARKS!
JESSICA
It was a sunny day today and I went into the water for a dip. It felt warm so I went round the boat 5 times. I went into the water with my scruber to brush the boat and the waile came back to me and flipt around and it helpt me to wash the boat.
EMILY
It was night time and the sea was black, it was as if a octopus was sucking in the colour of the water. Finally it was my turn to go to sleep and I fainted into the cabin.
MATTHEW
At night a terrible storm came so we had to shoot the anker down. After that we hugged up and had dinner. Sorry but I need sleep.
MIA
I went to get my snorkel and I jumped into the water and I saw a Great wite wale. Strangly enough it stopped and swam off. I wunded why was I really smelly.
LOUIS
I’m getting sick of the food because some of them taste of water like chicken tikka and meditraining vegetable pasta my best food is chocolate. I need to go and row so bye for now.
WILL
I was rowing in the middle of the Atlantic sea and I lukd at the worter and it gliterd. There was also a sting ray and efreyone had speshl gluvs so efreyone got it out of the water and lukd at it and then we let it go.
DYLAN
Then I smelt an amazing smell it was the candle it was glowing like the moon. I looked up and I took a deep breath in and it was like stardust floating into my mouth I went to sleep again.
ELEANOR
Anyway I caught a 50kg fish and my sister’s hogging it. We should all share it because I caught it dad weeled it in and mum got it in the net while Katie sat and lisened to music!
MATTHEW B
Today on the boat in the morning I woke up and the sea was calm and buetiful when the sun was shining on it. It was just wonderful.

Dear Diary,
Today I saw the sea glittering from the sunlight. I felt so happy. Then I started my shift and it was hard to pull the oars. It was harder than I thought. Dave started his shift then I got in bed and ate chocolate and it really cheered me up.
HANNAH
At 7am I was cleaning the boat and then I saw a killer whale, come at me then I saw a flying fish and swam away then I got back on the boat and cooked the chicken ticka with rice then I looked over the boat and there were a bunch of cloud fish it was amazing.
WILLIAM
Dear Diary
Today I got up and it was raining so I put on waterproofs. Then I went rowing and it was cold and it as wet. Soon the sun came up it was beautiful and it made me happy. I finished rowing.
BEN
I haven’t had a shower in days and I smell like a rotten egg that has never been eaten.
