THE BOAT TRIP
“Jack, did you pack your bag yet?” mom said, “yes mom yes you asked like the 100 th time mom!” I said.
Me and my dad my mom and my little brother were going to a boat trip today. we rented a Cezzna 126 (a
boat). The Cezzna 126 was an 8 piston diesel boat. It was quite fast when I went in the Cezzna 126 with my
grandpa. My mom and dad and my brother were really excited to go for a boat trip but I was like “okay”
when my dad told me that we were going for this trip. I had showed no enthusiasm what so ever. “come on
jack”, “it is time to go.” mom shouted, I replied “coming”. Then I walked down slowly.
We Sat in the taxi and we went to the sea port. when we reached the sea port we all went aboard
the Cezzna 126. Our friend who works in the boat rental company lend this wonderful boat to us. My mom
and little brother took all the food and luggage and the cool box inside the cabin. And dad went up to the

each book had at least 30 pages, and guess what I read them all one by one, one after other and finished all
of them. To me it felt like already 10 days have passed. So I took my computer and started to type stories.
Then when we all sat and ate dinner on the fold out table inside the cabin.

We were moving to the north-west! I ran up to my father who was finding something and not looking at
where the ship is going, but it was too late ...............................................
We were speeding to an island and then when I reached the last step to my father the ship crashed.
