TEAM SA LOGBOOK - 13th June - Bermuda

13th June - Bermuda - People, Parade and Tall Ships - Shane Barnes!!



We are still docked in the most amazing place I have ever seen – Bermuda!!! It's sooo unbelievable! With all the festivities taking place every where you look its hard not to over indulge yourself in complete enjoyment.

Today all the CAF students will take part in a Trainee Parade, which will take place from Barr's Park to Victoria Park and then after that it is a another prize-giving event and a party with live music at Victoria Park. At colors this morning Mr Allman said that we all have to be here on the ship by 17:15 to prepare for the parade. Asekho, Helen, Dayana and I went to the Crew's center where there is free internet, any type of cool drinks your heart's desire plus those free 20dollar phone cards which I immediately used when I got there. We stayed there till almost past lunch tine and came back to the ship to pick up Marx because he had port-suspension for a totally unfair reason. We went off to go to have something to eat at this restaurant just down the street, and it was very delicious and so unlike Andy's (our cook's) food. Then we went back to the Trainee's Center so that Marx could contact his parents. After that we just walked around until 5pm. We all had to wear CAF uniforms and we walked to Barr's Park where all the trainees from the various other tall ships were and it was pretty intense. So the parade got started and off we marched to Victoria Park. It was fun and we were in the spot light so all the people watched with awe as we marched. When we got to Victoria Park the people of Bermuda Sail Training presented the prizes to all the other tall ships and then after a short presentation, the party started. We did not stay, but we returned later at 10pm and then came back to the ship before curfew at midnight.
