Big aeroplane with lots to look at,  it went something like this; films, games, stories, Bored, kids tv, eat, leggo, snooze, food, film, story, bored, bored, bored and then just more of the same.

 

Arrived: Tired, hot, Wait, wait, wait wait, more tired, hot, wait wait wait.

 

Taxi, supermarket, little house.

 

Sleep, but wake up when it's still dark

Cosmo has discovered a kids cartoon channel on the television, he is loving it.  Mummy says he can watch it as there with be no tv for the next 2 years.

 

Zinzan loves the Lizards and the great Shell Beach 2 mins walk away. 

 

We borrow a car and find a lovely white beach and play in the waves.

 

We watch a man climb a coconut tree with sideways spikes in his shoes and no ropes to hold on too, he is harvesting the coconuts, its amazing.

 

 

We meet a friend called Charlotte from Burmuda, she has lived on her boat all her life she is 6. Charlotte is a really good swimmer and teaches us to dive.

 

went to meet Santa in St Johns the capital of antigua.  Poor Santa looks very hot but he is very kind.

Before santa we went to a busy beach, where 2 people were getting married.  Cosmo was very worried about the brides dress getting dirty in the sand and surf.

 

On  Sunday mummy took us to a Pentacostal Church where everyone was very kind and welcoming everyone holds there arms up in the air and says Hallelujha, praise the lord.  it was very different to Bosham Church.  Cosmo and I where very tired still so we didn't stay till the end.

Mummy has borrowed a Golf Buggy for a car,  it's like driving around in a go-cart.

 

WAITING FOR DADDY TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC

 

hooray daddy is almost here, we have missed him it's nearly 5 weeks since we saw him.

 

We drive to Nelsons Dockyard in English Harbour to see Daddy, lots of cuddles for daddy and all the crew:

Joe Chadwicks daddy

Cosmo's God father Ant, who is Ted and Esme's daddy

Harry and Lukes Daddy

and our lovely friend Giles

 

It's good to see our bedrooms (berths) on the boat again we are excited about moving back in to our new home.

 

2 more sleeps till christmas and we are now on the boat.  We put up our Christmas decoration.  But us a husk of a banana tree to hang our decorations and candy stick from.

 

Will Santa Arrive .  We have posted our letters but we don't have a chimney.  we will leave the mooring light on at the top of the mast and leave glass of Rum and cookie and carrot at the bottom and leave a hatch open at the bottom too.

 

We spent Christmas moored up to a very very old dockyard called Nelson's Dockyard. It is the oldest in the Western World.  And is Named after Horatio Nelson,  we are not sure he would have a proved of all the superyachts here,  We have now started to call them Grumpy Yachts as no one ever waves even though they see us.  Critters had fun here.

 

Santa arrives and what a lovely Santa he has been to both Cosmo and Me.

There is a big party at the Dockyard on Christmas day and we meet up with some other live aboards, Charlie, Annie and Fred.  All day we are allowed to run and cycle around watching all the music and partying people.  We have a Normal Christmas Lunch on the Boat with Mummy Daddy, Giles and some Dutch Friends.  Before lunch we had people for a party from Australia, America, Holland and Britain

    

On Boxing day we sail down to a Place called Non-Such-Bay and go to a party and meet lots of Children who live on this island all of the time.  They never have snow here.  We Swim in there pool have lunch and then whizz on boats to an uninhabited nature reserve. Here we jump off the boats and swim to the beach.

 

We sleep here but there are lots of naste biting mosquitos at night.

 

Daddy pulled Cosmo and me up the mast a bit to do a job

The following day we snorkel alot and see our first Sting Ray.  We are collecting lots of shells and coral to make pictures, necklaces and braclets.

 

Pia and Jake from Bosham come Sailing with us for the day.  They are very brave and like jumping off the bows of the boat so I dare myself to do it too, it's at least 2 meters high and great fun. I love swimming to the beach and hope i will be in the swimming squad when i get back to school.

 

Sometimes it's very hard for mummy and daddy to drive the boat into island bays as they are surrounded with coral reefs,  and the waves can crash around the boat and make the boat very bumpy, Cosmo and i think this is fun.

 

We wake up to see a Volcano smoking big clouds out of the top of it, it's amazing , it's on an island called monserat.

Happy New Year

 

We Start School.

I wear my school summer dress each day and we do English and Maths, somedays we like it others it's boring.

  This is the seat where I do all my school work

  Cosmo laying out all the numbers to 12 in the right order all by himself

 

Today I started to enjoy reading stories.

 

We have been getting our pocket money in E.C.Dollars (Eastern Carribean) but tomorrow we are sailing to an island called St Barts so for the next week we will be buying sweeties with Euros, because this is a French Island.  Which means we get Yummy Croissant and Chocolate Choix for breakfast.  We will speak in French, au revoir for now
