Day 13 of Sailing (Tuesday)

Well today is Tuesday day 13 of sailing and definitely our last.  Brenda, David and Ariel are very excited that tonight we will be dropping anchor in Bounty day.  We are just thinking that crikey this is our 13^th day of sailing and although we are not itching to get of the ship we are just excited that the 2^nd part of this adventure is about to begin!
After dinner we just sat around waiting for the sunset debating when we will be anchoring …

Sunrise was pretty spectacular

And later on the full moon in the sky was pretty impressive

Despite the fact that it is a full moon we weren’t optimistic that it would be around when we drop anchor early Wednesday morning around 2am.  There is a lot of cloud around that may just block the moons light that would make it possible to photograph the outline of Pitcairn Island when we arrive.

That night we killed time by playing a card game called ‘skip bo’.  Bedtime was around 10pm and the next time I woke it was just after 2am when I heard Dad excitedly telling Mum that we were here, then Neil popped his head in as he had just gone to the toilet and realised that the engines were off (which means we were anchored) so he ducked upstairs and said the night sky is all cloudy but you can make out the outline of island.  So I got up and we took Mum up to the third level and we saw Brenda dancing about excitedly! 
I took this photo in the hope it would pick up the outline of Pitcairn Island in the back ground

Unfortunately it didn’t!

Went back to bed but I was wide awake and didn’t drift off so up at 6am for Brekky.
