The day started with a glorious sunrise that was welcomed by a „Laolawelle“ of Watch Two.

After a little song presented by Watch Three (also called the “old man’s watch“ because of the easy timespan it happens in), we started a little morning stretch and realized pretty quickly that we had not done this for several days.

Afterwards, some of us were allowed to climb in the rig today, which was quite the highlight.

We learned some more things as well because the school component started and within certain timeslots you could see people studying, e.g., for exams.

Moreover, we practiced our woodworking skills while building a new bottle holder (also called the „Kaninchen-Käfig für Flaschen“).

The overall mood today was really calm and you could hear the laughter of people all day long.

Well, except for Sophia’s. Because we learned that she laughs in absolute silence… which, well, ended in even more laughter.

Furthermore, we noticed that other members of our class laugh in such a funny way that we can identify them by the sound of it. For example, Jonas laughs like a dolphin and Miriam gets called “Möwen-Miriam“ because we are certain that she talks to them when she laughs.

And when Maya thinks that something is funny, which she does a lot, you always have to make sure that she really is laughing and not crying.

After a whole day of learning and laughing, Watch Two and friends finished off with something we’ve done before and will do a lot more of: taking in the sails.
