Out and a boat

Last week I went with Owen to his friend Josh's boat. Josh lives on the boat with his little brother, mom and dad. Josh is friends Owen because they are in the same class at Beacon.

To get to his "house" you have to through Woburn which has a stinky, stinky mangrove. The day we went it smelled like egg salad threw up on cow paddies. It was STINKY!

When we arrived at the dingy launch Josh and his mom, Kate, were already on their way to pick us up. Once they picked us up we headed back toward their boat. To get to the boat you have to navigate through a maze of other boats. On the way we saw boats from pretty much everywhere. I also saw my friend Noa's dad heading to the launch.

Josh's Boat.....just kidding. But the same harbour

Getting on the boat means you need to climb up and over the side of the boat. It was a lot of fun to do. Their boat was blue and had two masts. There boat (house) is a lot more compact than I thought a boat could be. I had no idea you could fit some much stuff into 15 meters (about 50 feet). It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room and living room (these are all together). There is an other dining area on the deck.

Once aboard we went to the bow (front) and jumped off. Kate went over to Noa's boat (Noa is my friend from Switzerland who is in my class). Noa was doing his French (which is his first language) and he said he would catch us later.

So then Kate took us to Hog Island to play. We played on the swings and there was a Cabana to hang out in. We also played Bochi ball, it was really fun. About 45 minutes later Noa caught a dingy ride to Hog Island to join us. Then we went around the corner of where we were and went snorkeling. The snorkelling was really good, except it knee deep water for about 100 meters, so that was a bit tricky. But then it dropped off to really deep. Everyone had a really good time.

When we got to the boat we had sandwiches and chips. We watched a movie and I showed Josh how to do some things in Minecraft.

When my mom and dad came to pick me up we dropped Noa off on the way to the launch.

It was a lot of fun. We plan on having Noa and Josh over during the holidays- but after Auntie Ceilidh leaves.
