Caught a fish it was a tuna, it had blue and darker blue!!! When we got
There we anchordand my dad cleaned the fish and my mom cooked it for
supper. In the morning we went in town and went to a small shop and got
some food. Then we went to the library. I met a friend called Zoe!!!!! And she is from France.The same name as me! She came to my boat and we played together. We also picked the fruit of the trees. There is a beach called pirates bay beach and we go there in the rubberduck and play on the beach. There
are lots of fruit trees there. The waves are very big and I love to take my
Board and go ride the waves!! It is so much fun! There was a baby turtle swimming past the boat. We picked it up to look at it. It was so small and he swam away really fast. We also swim at the boat the water is very very blue. There are 4 children on a boat from Denmark and they came to play. We went to walk to the fort on top of the hill and you can see all the boats from up top. There was a big green lizard in the tree with a long tail. On Monday we are sailing to Grenada and my friend Zoe is also sailing there on her boat called Taugl.

I am looking for a secret island.
I am planning to go live on this island It is a secret.
The island must have palm trees and there will be a beach with lots of
Mountains around it.
I will need milk, eggs, butter, sugar, rolls, buns, pasta, cereal, and other food. I will also have some wood and some nails and a
Hammer and I will build a small house for my food. I will
get boxes and put food in them and then I will build one for me
to sleep in if it is cold and when it is hot I will make a bed out of
leaves and sleep outside!!! My sister called Nina will be coming
with me.
She is 4 and I am 8 years old. I have my own rubberduck.
I will go there in my rubberduck.
I will need lots of pillows and blankets. I will need lots of
Supplies. I have a sewing kit and some plasters.
I will bring two pairs of shorts and two t-shirts.

Toboago Fun by Zoe James

16 September 2011 | Store Bay, Tobago
We are anchored in store bay with six other South African boats.
Every afternoon at 4.clock we all go swimming at the beach. We went on a picnic on a beautiful beach with palm trees. We swim there and collected coral on the beach. We snorkel on a reef where a boat sank, there are plenty of parrot fish and Angel fish! One moning we caught the bus to Scaborough. The bus had aircondioning, television and music. When we were in Scarborough we went to the fort. The fort had beautiful views looking on the ATLANTIC OCEAN. We sat on the lawn and had some snacks. One day a baby turtle washed onto another boat on their steps. They asked me to come with them and we put it on a reef so it will be safe, it was very tiny and I held it. We met a French boat and they have children and we went to their boat to play. One afternoon the coast guard came to check our passports, they even checked iniside the boat. We are still in store bay because we are waiting for engine parts to arrive. After Tobago we are going to Grenada.

My birthday surprise

27 August 2011 | Tobago
I woke up and I opened all my presents. I got a cooking book and a dvd called the faraway tree!!!!!! and lots of Winnie the witch books. And a calculator. My mom also made a Hello Kitty cake. Some friends from other boats came and we had some cake. My mom said that there is a surprise so we got in the rubberduck and went on land. And we got a taxi to a hotel. And when we got there Mom said that we are going to sleep in the hotel. The hotel had a big pool and a small path to a beach. The hotel said the beach was where Robinson Crusue landed 300 hundred years ago and his anchor is there. We slept in a big bed and there was a big bath and me and Nina had lots of baths with lots of water. We also watched some tv in the bed. We had a big breakfast with pancakes and fruit.

Bird at sea by Zoe James

27 August 2011 | Atlantic Ocean
When we were sailing to Tobago my mom called me and Nina and said there is a baby bird on the boat. It was pretty with all it's colours the colours were orange and green!! It was very small and very tired. My Dad said maybe it was lost. So I gave it some food and some water it was very hot. I gave it biscuits and it liked them. It stayed on the boat the whole day. So I made a bird bed for it with some food and some water. I put the bird bed outside. But the next day it died maybe because it was so tired and so small. We wrapped it in some special paper and buried it at sea.

The River Paraguacu by Zoe James

12 July 2011 | Bahia, Brazil
We went up the River and it was very nice. There was lots of towns. The river has lots of turns. There was lots of towns. The towns were on the river. We went to a market . The people are poor. They come in little boats. They don't have motor boats. When we left the River we saw pink dolphins. We got stuck on the sand so we had to wait until the high tide. The River temperature was 34'c.There are lots of bushes. The water is brown but you can swim in it. At the market there was alive chickens and they kill them for you to eat. The fruit was big and nice

At school in Sitio Forte by Zoe James

12 July 2011 | Ilha Grande Brazil
I visited a school in Sitio Forte. I took my books and my pencils. The teacher’s name was Danielle she was very nice the teacher taught lots of Gades. There are 8 girls and boys in the class room and some are in grade 2 and some are in grade 4. For lunch we had beens and rice and mash potatoes and a little piece of chicken. It was delicious. I had a friend his name was Henrique. We played altogether.

The town of Paraty by Zoe James

26 June 2011 | Brazil
Paraty is the oldest town in Brazil. The streets are rock because long time ago people took their ships and the people put rocks for ballast and then the rocks were used for the roads. At high tide the water comes up to the streets and you cant walk there. There are lots of very old churches. We went on a cart and the horse took us around the town. The horse was very bumpy
