Hi everyone. We are having lots and lots of fun. Today we did a ten hour sail from 3 in the morning to 1 pm. It was exhausting with huge waves. We were pounding into the wind and I kept asking if the hull would crack. When we got here after we anchored we threw a rotten pineapple overboard and then a nurse shark and a barracuda came to check it out. After that two more nurse sharks arrived. Also we caught two fish today. But they both got away. The first one was a Mahi Mahi. We got it to the boat but it flipped and got away just as Dad was going to gaff it. The second fish was a big tuna. But when we reeled it in all we caught was a big tuna head and we think that a shark or a big barracuda stole it. Before we caught the tuna we saw a bunch of little fish jumping for their lives. Maybe trying to escape from bigger fish. It is my birthday tomorrow. I’m excited about my birthday but I snuck a peek on a few birthday presents what are a bubble jet head squid with a rubber ballyhoo tail on the hook and also a fishing belt so I can reel in the big fish. Mom says it’s a belt to hold up my pants. I am going to have a banana bread cake with chocolate icing for my birthday.

My birthday is in one month and Tiegan forgot to say this but we threw the tuna head overboard to the sharks. The great barracuda stole it and so a shark chased after the barracuda and then the shark got confused. I hope you are having fun. I’m having fun today. The sharks came together to eat the pineapple. There were three sharks. They were Nurse sharks and now we are about to fall asleep because we had a super big day. We all are having fun but mom and dad are dead tired and so we finally got to a stop. It looks like a beautiful day tomorrow. It was wavy and stormy today. The waves were crashing over the boat. The sharks are now hanging over at the next boat. Our boat stayed alive in the waves. And it was a super long journey. And I slept through lots of wavy parts and my window almost went under water. And I dreamed my window went under water.
