Adventure at Sea

Caleb Dutton9 years old

I woke up it was a beautiful morning I had my breakfast asked my dad please dad please can I please borrow your boat. Yes

you can. So I got my pocket knife and a few other things .I asked my mom to make me enough food for 5 weeks so she

packed my food and off I went.

I was ready for my adventure. I headed out for the deep sea with my dads motor boat. I was so exciting I set for the deep sea. I went full throttle. Another hour

later truly I was in the deep blue sea.

I anchored my boat and went to sleep for my first night. It was a long cold night I woke up at five AM. I

had quite a good breakfast and set of again.

I went even further I stopped for lunch and checked my satnav. There was an island quite close by I finished my lunch and set

off again. I was about two Km from the island where all of a sudden my engine stopped. I was stranded my engine stopped

. I was stranded . My fuel had finished . I had a decision to make I could either wait for help or swim to the island

Luckily I was a very fast swimmer so I decided to fill my water-proof backpack. I filled it with all of my stuff. I thought I would need for my adventure. So when my bag was full and I was sure I had all of my belongings

I needed, I set off on my journey. I had to swim 2 km . I estimated it would take me an hour. Luckily there was about 5 hours before it was dark. So there was enough time to swim there and make a shelter for the night. If I was lucky there would be enough time to

make a fire and get water and food too.

All of a sudden something was on my leg! It was a shark, I quickly got my knife and stabbed it. I was bleeding and I

didn’t want to attract other sharks, so I swam to the boat. Maybe I wouldn’t be able to go to the island after all. So I

got to the boat and wrapped my wound.

I looked at the motor. It was fine , but then I remembered I had packed another tank of petrol. I was so happy ! So I quickly filled my tank and set of to the island. It would only take me

twenty minutes so I decided to go full throttle all the way. I got there I decided to go and explore on the island. I took my boy

and arrow with me just in case I run into tiger or leopard.

I was walking in the bush when I herd the sound of a water fall. So I walked to it. When I got their was a big rock hanging over it . I saw where I would be sleeping. It was five and I was tired but then I heard The sound

of a motor.

I ran to the sea it was my dad .He had come looking for me. I was so happy ! I had a little bit of fuel left so I put it into my dads boat he was going to tow me home. We got to the half way mark into my boat and went to sleep. In the morning we

had a quick breakfast and set off again it was lunch time when we got home . My mom was so ecsited to see me.
