DRIVE THE BOAT

 

Hi Chloe
We've had a busy day and Captain Benn and Brian are both tired , so they went to their rooms for some quiet time. Before Captain Benn went to bed he said.. PA PETE,
CAN YOU DRIVE THE BOAT , WHILE I HAVE A REST,? Captain Benn showed me all the switches and buttons and clocks and how to work the steering wheel and pointed which way to go. And I have to watch this special TV. It shows us which way to go. I have to look out for other boats, big ships and whales ( we saw 12 whales today) and turtles and most importantly... Water that is not deep enough for our boat .. We don't want to get stuck. It's a bit tricky to drive this boat, but I think I'll do a good job. I hope I don't get sleepy. Lots of love pa Pete

Time to go up a River

  Hi Chloe, today we're leaving the islands and going to another River. (Called port Clinton) Captain Benn said...  "there will be some windy days soon, so we don't want to be out on the sea. Our boat will be all wibley-wobley and we might fall over , if we stay out on the sea."....... "Let's go up a River" said pa Pete "we might see some more pelicans or a turtle " THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN, said Captain Benn. I hope you are having fun too. Love pa Pete

A lot happening on the boat

 Hi Chloe. Before we went to sleep I heard a blowing noise, I think it was the old turtle or a Dugong. It was too dark and I could not see it. We had a big dinner of fish and spaghetti. Early in the morning before the Sun came up, Captain Benn was awake, He said GET UP PA PETE, WE ARE LEAVING THIS BIG SAND ISLAND AND GOING TO TOWN. PULL UP THE ANCHOR.  Ok I said, but I want my breakfast. NO he said THIS BOAT IS SLOW AND IT'S A LONG WAY... WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.

We made it to town

  Hi Chloe, Captain Benn has driven our boat all the way to a town. We saw 6 whales on the way. We have tied up our boat at the marina. We use very strong ropes and Captain Benn checks to make sure that Brian and pa Pete have tied good knots. There's bridges and cars and houses and lots of people at this town. It's not ommie's town and it's not near your house. It's a long long way from my home. Today pa Pete and Brian will help Captain Benn clean up the boat.... It got a bit messy when we were out on the sea. It's been great fun on this boat with Captain Benn, but pa Pete and Brian want to go home now. We love our homes. Lots of love pa Pete
