Now, you might be wondering what we do on passage and on anchor.
On passage, Lukie and I spend hours on the tramp. We sit down and wait for big waves to come washing over us. We put on life jackets and run, holding on to things like the railing and the floor, to the wave zone (the tramp).
The waves crash up and we try not to swallow any water. We flip, roly-poly, bounce and fly onto the deck. Sometimes the cockpit gets filled with water or the water comes up through the floorboard just outside the door.
On anchor, I mostly spend hours swinging on the ropes at the front of the boat.
If the water looks nice, it always does, me, Lukie and Daddy jump in the water and do challenges.
Some of the challenges are: jump in and swim under both hulls, see how far down you can go and who does the biggest bombs. We are all trying to achieve the Triple Yoda.
The Triple Yoda is where you jump in the air and spin three times around before you hit the water. The best any of us have done is the Double Yoda.
On anchor, we (me and Lukie) play Lego Star Wars, Lego city and Lego random (lots of different types of Lego joined together).
The thing that we do the most now is play Lord of the Rings. We play that on shore, on the boat and mostly in forests. Just yesterday we all went up a mountain to a waterfall in the middle of the forest (perfect for Lord of the Rings). We went swimming in the waterfall but we didn’t stay long because it was so cold!
I’m a fifth through reading the Lord of the Rings books.
Me and Lukie also play a game called Dungeons and Dragons. I cannot explain much because it is so complicated. I can explain that it is a game where you use your imagination and lots of bits of paper. It is a fantasy land where you can do anything you like, and you have a character that you make, and you travel around and complete adventures. I make up the adventures and Lukie plays them.
When other kids come on board we usually play Lego, Minecraft and Pokemon cards. We also jump in the water with them and draw.
