The Evert from Bryher
 
 Hannah and I in New Grimsby Sound

Today we left Newlyn at 6am and headed to the Scilly Isles where at around midday Hannah and I got off the Evert at Round Island and paddled a circuit of Tresco and most of Bryher (it was a biot rough to complete the NW 2km section). We also visited Puffin Island (where there are no puffins) and Sampson. The weather improved during the day and turned into a lovely summers evening. We saw 6 or 7 seals during the paddle and a couple of dolphins on the way over. The distance overall was around 20km and we were back on board the Evert at 5pm.

In order to settle in we visited Mzuzu for some shopping in a local market and visited a disabled project nearby. The students quickly adapted to the toilets with no flushes and the random power cuts. For fun we went on a boat trip to include feeding fish eagles, a trip to Kande Beach where some of the boys took a pedalo to the island 800m offshore and as there was not enough room on the small pedalo three of us swam out and back. We then undertook 5 days of volunteer work on a number of  projects including renovating 2 classrooms, running a sports day and making peanut butter and IT guides. The next R and R days we had kayaking and snorkelling and 15 st...
