“Het was super mooi en eerst ga je lekker zwemmen en dan krijg je wat te eten. Maar het moment dat je de zonsopgang ging bekijken op zee ging het schip bizar erg schommelen alle kanten op we konden het gelukkig hebben maar wij werden wel een beetje raar in ons hoofd er van dus als ke er maar een beetje niet tegen kan kun je het beter niet doen want heb dit nog nooit meegemaakt op een boot maar als je er wel goed tegen kan is het een leuk uitje”
