18th April 2008 - Queen Alexandra

I have enjoyed everything we did in the week. It was warm and cold and my favourite thing was squibs because i liked doing the ropes and driving. The staff were fantastic towards us.

The week was absolutely mind blowing. The staff were very nice, helpful and generous. The food was gorgeous and we want the chef at our college.
On Monday, I enjoyed the water activities and squibs. On Tuesday we went sailing on the picos, i enjoyed the olympic race, I fell in the water and was saved by the instructor. We also played football on the beach, it was brilliant, beautiful, fantastic, gorgeous.
On Thursday we went on a mysterious haunted squib ride with our Instructor. Then we went on a very wet fast boat ride to Kingsbridge.
On Friday we split up and made boats, my boat sunk. I look forward to coming back.

I felt really happy in the week we have had and all the staff on the boat were really helpful. I have really enjoyed all the activities here and I will miss everyone on the boat.

4th April 2008 - St Michaels

Everything was good, I liked the walk that we did up the hill and I liked all the water activities. I would love to come here again next time, thank you for having us.

Good - Powerboating, Crabbing, Food, Picos, Bonfire, Cliffhanger. Bad- Wetsuits

I enjoyed powerboating, picos and our last day. I did not like wearing a wetsuit. We also had a bonfire and went sailing, I learned some new stuff and had new experiences.

Everything was good, but I did not like the walk.

I enjoyed the trip and the activities and the cooking and the serving of the foodwas really good.

What I liked about this trip was the activities and some of the walk for the view and the respect of the staff.

My experience on the ship was Ok, meaning I enjoyed myself. It was good because of the activities and good range of foods. The activities went really well for me.
