After lunch whilst Harry and Catrin where playing I heard a shout “Katie,
your friends are here.” I then raced upstairs to see Britican - Simon told us to
turn our radio to channel 27. When we had Simon told us that the people on the
boat next to us where their South African friends two girls called Tana and
Sienna – Britican had just come from Paxos with Why Knot. A rat had come on
board Britican – the rat had gnawed a hole in Kim’s lotion. And the same rat had
then boarded Why Knot – the rat had gnawed a cigarette and the top of a plastic
lid.
Sienna and Tana’s Mum swam to a rock where they ted there anchor line we
then motored In the dingy over to Britican to take their lines and Daddy would
then pass Britican’s lines to their Olympic swimmer. When everyone was anchored
Tana, Sienna, Sienna and I all swam around in the water. We played around in the
water for ages – Daddy even got the rubber ring out. When we had got board of
playing in the water we boarded Why Knot (a catamaran). There boat had lots of
space they had lots of windows that you have to close when you go out to sea.
When you walked on the deck you had to watch out for the open hatches, you
wouldn’t want to fall down them. When we had finished our tour of Why knot we
went over to Britican Sienna showed us her room, her paintings and the other
rooms. Simon called down to us whilst Sienna was showing us a board game “ The
children on the Catamaran next door are British go and make friends with them as
well. We made friends with them – they had three girls aged 6, 7 and 10 – the
eldest was called Ivy we showed here the flat fish and the sea urchins.
Daddy soon told us to get ready to go out for a drink with Britican and Why
Knot. When we where ready we motored to why knot where we picked up Sienna (big
Sienna). When we got there Sienna realised she had forgotten her shoes so we
dropped Harry, Mummy and Catrin of at the cafe whilst we whizzed to get Sienna’s
shoes. When we got back we brought some pastries, Beer and Fanta. When we where
looking in the chandlers Britican and Why Knot found us we brought some paper
plates from the chandlers.
We then sat down in the cafe, when we got back to the dinghies Sienna,
Sienna, Harry and I all went in Simon’s fast dingy – we weren't allowed to go
too fats because of people swimming, we where going to have tea on Why Knot.
When we got to why Knot we planned a swim show. After tea we did the swim show
Sienna and I did umps together – Tana did an amazing backwards dive! We all
tried to convince Sienna to do a jump from the first step. She didn’t have the
confidence though. When we got back to our boat we had to go strait to bed
because it was half eleven.
