Stitched up!

Ahoy shipmates! I had to do a school project on old ships this week so I went back to the Sea Wolf to do some research. But when I got there, I found the sails were still full of holes from the firework incident so I was put on sewing duty. Unfortunately when my sail was hoisted, I discovered I'd sewn it to my jeans and ended up dangling over the deck!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Shipmates!

I went to two parties on New Year’s Eve - one with my friends for fireworks over Backwater Bay then I spat on my coin and joined the crew of the Sea Wolf in time for a party with the crew. Peter had made some fireworks. Unfortunately, they set fire to the sails! Luckily he'd also made a New Year's stew. The crew put the fire out with it. That was good for two reasons. The fire was out and we didn't have to eat Peter's stew!
