Today we set sail for the far off island called Sark. The ship’s clock was showing 4′ o clock and it was still dark outside. We could see a glimmer of light on the horizon and soon we had set our sails and the day began.
The sails were stretched out and the wind was strong and steady. We followed a straight line towards our destination.
We had some early morning visitors – a pod of dolphins came to swim alongside. They had such fun darting from side to side and disappearing underneath and out the other side. It was a joy to behold.
Halfway through the day we crossed the lanes used by cargo ships. They come from America and Asia and they carry big boxes of goods for people living in Europe. Perhaps you are waiting for a parcel carried on one of these ships?
We sailed all the way to Sark and only had to turn once to miss the Island of Guernsey. Then we dropped the anchor in a sheltered cove after travelling 100 miles. A long day sailing.
