After some navigation challenges, we went to the sick bay where some of us got to show off our first aid skills (acquired during the @RoyalNavy camps and courses) … singing to the tune of #StayingAlive 🎶🎶

We had an absolutely FA-BU-LOUS day! After having visited the ship’s cabins (oh myyyy… they were like a hotel suite!), the flight deck, we were invited on the bridge where the crew had prepared some tasks for us to complete.
