Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for…

After weeks of playing chess the final game is going to take place today, it is between Nik and Anton. We interviewed them before the match:

The questions:

Do you think you’re going to win this final game?
How did you prepare for your games?
Where will you put the trophy if you win?

Nik:
1. Oh yeahhhh
2. I don’t need to prepare.
3. In Antons room so he has to look at it everyday and that he is reminded constantly who the better chess player is

Anton:
1. I don’t think it’s going to be a long match…
2. I didn’t
3. I’m gonna throw it over board. I don’t need this, I just want to show my dominance

And so the game begins, look at the picture if you want to see the moves. It was a long and hard game. In the end Anton resigned after two hours of playing.

Here are the Niklas words about the game:

It was a long and hard fought match. Anton played really well and I had some doubts but in the end I came out on top. I am glad that the final match was so intense. I had a lot of fun.

But that was not everything that has happened today, we had our first “sex workshop”, we played games, the first one was true or false:

The teachers gave us questions and we had to position ourselves. The second game was “Tabu” where we had to explain different words about sexuality.

Afterwards we chose topics we are going to discuss in the next workshop.

In the late afternoon we had a seawater-shower to lower our daily use of fresh water. The captain was the first to try. Now five of us are allowed to sleep on deck in a hammock, which is awesome! The last attraction before going to sleep was the “Lost and Found-“Auction, which was funny as always and we earned ourselves some cake for the next weeks.

It was a very fun day crossing the Atlantic.
