We’ve Moved Aboard!

Life on a boat can be many different things. Sometimes it's fun like fishing or sailing. Sometimes it's boring like helping your dad set up a wind generator pole or climbing in the bilges (boat word for stinky compartments under the floor and behind the walls in the boat). The boat is always small and is getting smaller as I grow. The boat is very limited, for example you have to take a not really warm, two minute shower with barely one gallon of water. Every now and then, I wake up, go outside, and see a manatee or seal swimming in the canal .

School on a boat is much different than normal school. The best thing is that I only have two to five hours of school a day. Another thing is that I can eat and drink during school. I can have school outside also. The last thing is that I only have to walk five feet to get to school. We are planning to leave on the twenty-eighth. That's all! Bye!
