No name blog
We ran aground and it's so shallow that Daddy can stand. We had to call the marina for help and they had to tip over the boat to get us out, not so far that we capsized, though.
Daddy and I went to the beach. We saw fish--striped ones, polka-dotted ones, and I saw one with what looked like purple hairs on its head.
Sailing Away
16 July 2013
We will soon be in Sicily. I just wrote some postcards to my friends and I still have some more to do, but I am going to buy those in a different place.
We are at sea. Daddy and Belle have played chess at least three times today. I started writing a new play about five days ago, maybe less. Mommy and I have played once. One time Belle laid down her king.
I am learning how to take down the mainsail. I've learned not to let it go through my hands too quickly; if I do, I'll probably get rope burn. When Mom winches in the jib, I like to put my feet on the jib line because then my feet get tickled.
I keep on kibitzing when Daddy and Belle are playing chess, even though I'm not sure what "kibitzing" means. Mom just told me what that means.
Today I got seasick! More than three-quarters of the way there and I got seasick! The waves were very choppy, though.
I've also started a charity fund this week. I am raising money for the Lagos Children's Home, the food bank, and to help stray animals. No one on board will donate anymore right now. I will have to find some other sources of donations.
Right now I am winching; it's almost the only exercise I get right now.
I want to do another charity fund. I will go around the marina and ask for money. This fund will be for people who don't have any water.

Night Shift
Right now I am doing the night shift and I am staying up til 1:00. The night shift is when we sail at night and someone is up. We have to look out for boats and if we see one coming too close we have to wake up Dad.
Mommy and I have been taking the first watch from 10:00 to 1:00. Belle is supposed to do the second one from 1:00 to 4:00 but last night Daddy couldn't sleep so he did that one and Belle watched from 4 to 7.
I really like staying up for the first part of the night shift because that means I don't get to bed til 1:00, it also means that I have to stock up on food from dinner so I eat a lot. I also sleep late in the mornings.
We've also seen ghost boats. There's a light and then there is no light. I also saw a ghost star.
Right now we are in some town that I don't know what it's called and I am playing games on Mommy's Ipod. We have free internet here. Mom says we are staying here for as little time as possible. Maybe we'll anchor tonight.

On the Way to Croatia...Finally
I've been sailing but I've been getting a little seasick. Mommy says I'll adapt pretty quickly, though, and I think she's right.
We've been sailing pretty much the whole time but now we're in Rota, Spain, the perfect place to be to relax and have some coffee (even though I don't drink coffee).
We went through quite a lot of chops. Chops are when the waves are pretty high, just in case you didn't know. I was pretty sure that you knew, but I was just going to say so anyway. I don't care if you comment that you didn't know, but now you do. Right now we are at an internet cafe.
We had to use the motor more than we sailed, but we hope to sail more. We were hoping to go to Barbate, but we had to go to Rota because of the weather. We saw our friends Patricia and Seamus in Rota. They have been stuck here for a few days because of bad weather.
We met some Hawaiians and they are just a man family--a father and his three of them.
We just found out now what Victor and Brittany named their baby.
Isabelle got here and I am happy because now I can harrass her.
Bye bye!

Sorry that I haven't been writing since last year...
14 May 2013
Yesterday at school my class turned into "artificial second graders." This means that we'll have to do harder work and we'll get to do what the second and third graders do in their circle, which is stuff that we don't. I'm not sure what that is, though.
We went on a sailing course at the beginning of April. I saw a shark, a whale, a dolphin, but I don't think I saw a fourth whale. I learned to check the oil in the engine, the bilge, to turn on the instruments and the radio. I am also the one who does all the talking on the radio, like when we come into a marina like Marina de Lagos with the drawbridge.
Today I'm just about to go to school so I have very little time to write. My friend Artur rides with me and we entertain ourselves. On the way home we like to be shirtless and have the roof down. Mommy says she drives with crazy people--but we're not.
Everybody at school is into marbles. I have about 300 marbles. I play with them and I trade them but I don't trade my big ones. My favorite one is a mix in between turquoise and blue cat's eye. The other one I like is sort of a clear marble and it's got blue, red, and yellow curves in it.
