Sailing West
King George V School, Ashfield, Jamie -15
I
went on a sailing journey to the west, from Australia to the United Kingdom
I raced the ocean waves to be the quickest sailor
The ocean waves have very big motions, we were under the thunder and lightning storm
We survived. It was the night
It was in complete darkness. It was scary
I went to sleep. It was bumpy
When I woke up I saw where I was. Suddenly there was a monkey in front of me, he was a bit lanky.
But then I started to like the monkey, I named him Sam, he kept me company.
I wanted to win the race. I wanted to be the first person to sail west. I wanted to be quickest.
The monkey helped me with directions to England. But then I ended up in Finland.
