After Year 10 student Connor's tall ships boat experince last year, where the skipper was really impressed by Connor's seaworthiness, Connor was invited back on another boat trip recently as a junior watch leader.
Connor said: I wasn't too sure what being a watch leader involved, but once it was explained to me I was really excited. The trip started out a bit rocky because of storm Dennis, but once we set sail to the Isle of Wright from Portsmonth I soon got into the swing of things. It was a great experience and I learnt loads over the four days sailing.
