This was the last part of our training week during seamanship practical and it also was the hardest by far.... it was difficult took alot of work and also it was so hot.... but at last we managed to do it . We also practiced throwing the monkey fist.  I failed my first attempt and it bulldozed through the so called ships Hull.

This picture was taken after it was all over and we were so tired and happy .... mostly because we can go back now ..... ahahaha you see we didn't get a full set break because of our seamanship practical but still tho . It was a fun adventure with the classmates . We learned alot of new things that we can practice in the future when we are working . A special thanks to our trainers Sir Sam  and Sir Dollah.
