The Leeuwin adventure was an experience of a lifetime. It was filled with hard work, determination, character building and lots of fun. My favourite activity was climbing up the mast and then going along the yard to untie and drop the sails. This was very scary and took a lot of courage. One thing l didn’t like was having to get up at 2 am to do the night shift, everyone got an hour to do throughout the night. On the night shift, you need to do a series of checks, this includes checking the anchor, checking the engine room for fire and making sure the fridge is still turned on. Going on the Leeuwin is an experience l will cherish forever.
