@CirdanTrust QG enjoying that beautiful sunset last night before our night sailing. #RHSC #stunning

[RHSCCirdan @CirdanRhsc]

Mr K and Miss O’R as well as the crew were soooo impressed with how quickly we all got every sail up and hardened.

[RHSCCirdan @CirdanRhsc]

Everything went off smoothly during our night sail, we really put all our new knowledge into action with little to no hiccups.

[RHSCCirdan @CirdanRhsc]

We are at anchor and sailed until about 2am which was fun, the moon was so full and bright that it wasn’t as dark as we thought.

[RHSCCirdan @CirdanRhsc]

Learning how to let fly, haul in and making off with David our first mate.

[RHSCCirdan @CirdanRhsc]

We hit some rough water today and had a few get sea sick but all is well. They have learned that it’s better to stay up on deck when ill.
