Hi. We're in the Bahamas. We sailed from Bimini Bahamas a couple nights ago. It was really rocky. My sister threw up twice. Yesterday we went on a dinghy ride. A dinghy is a small boat to go to shore when anchored out. I got to drive. It was fun. We saw a sunken ship. It was cool. We also swam in the pool. When we were in Bimini we swam in the ocean. It was easy to see the bottom.

I found a lizard a while ago. I named him Stripes. My Dad built him a cage. It has a flat bottom with a screen over top. Later I found a lizard in our garage and put him in with Stripes. He doesn't have a name yet. We buy crickets at the pet store for my lizards to eat.
I've been making some friends at church. Their names are Ethan, Thomas, and Jonathan.
Guess what?! My Dad used to have a pony tail and he got it cut off. Jacquie and I weren't there when he got it cut off. When Daddy got home he had his pony tail tucked in his hat hanging down. When he took his hat off we still didn't notice. Then we finally noticed. It was really funny!

On Wednesday we moved our sailboat into the water. It was cool to see it getting moved into the water. There was a box shaped crane. It used big straps under the boat. The straps clamp together. A man drives the crane over to the water. Then they lower the boat down.
We started to motor the sailboat to our friend Howard's dock behind his house but we didn't get there til the next day. On the way we passed 2 lifting bridges and one swing bridge. We also went through 2 locks. A lock is something you motor. It has 2 doors, one at each end. One closes while the other one opens. If the water level is lower, the higher level that you're in will go down. If it is higher then the water will go into the locks and you will go up. The trip was fun, exciting, and adventurous. The weather was hot and sunburny.
Ben.
