Tuseday 30th June

We arrived at South Percy Ilse last night, anchoring in the bay with 7 other
boats. Although we were sheltered from the wind and swell, we had a small
amount of rocking.

Karl and Robyn had said previously that they wanted to experience everything
about boating life. This morning after breakfast we all piled in the dinghy
and set off for shore. As we approached shore Andrew slowed the dinghy down
to surf in on a wave. As everyone got ready to jump out upon reaching the
beach, the balance of the dinghy altered and we slid down the wave side on.
Karl fell out of the high side, launching Andrew into the air and over the
top of Sue and Robyn. With the girls on the lower side of the boat, sank
even further into the water, which sent them backwards into the water. Being
a RIB the dinghy didn't tip over but did take on a large amount of water.

We picked ourselves up and dragged the boat ashore. Luckily the cameras and
things were in waterproof bags. Still soaking wet we headed off to explore
the island. We walked the beaches and came across another ship wreck in the
sand.

Back on board Imagine we all showered and relaxed the rest of the day. By
evening the swell had started coming around the point which made it an
uncomfortable night.
