“Hey dad,” Laura asked as she skipped into the kitchen, noticing her dad was reading the newspaper, “can we go for a boat ride today, and maybe do a little fishing?” Her dad simply stated, “Go ask your mother.” Laura skipped her way upstairs and asked her mom if they could go boating. Her mom exclaimed, “Honey, that is a great idea, it’s a beautiful day for it!” Laura, her mom, and dad started packing up for a day on the water. Laura packed up her goggles, her mom packed some snacks, and her dad got the fishing poles reading, and hooked up the boat. After a half hour they had finally gotten their swimsuits on, grabbed a towel and headed outside. As they stepped out the door, they felt as if they had stepped in a roaring fire. They quickly walked to get into the air conditioned truck. Lauras dad started the truck, and they headed to the Petoskey Boat Launch. After five minutes of driving they got there. They put their boat in the calm water, and headed off into Lake Michigan. They headed towards a secret cave that hung over the water they had found that was amazing for fishing. They cast out their lines, but only for a second. “Wow, that was as fast as lightning!” exclaimed Laura. She pulled and yanked on her line until it was close to the boat, but it suddenly it jerked off. As it swam away, she noticed it was a big sunfish. Laura was really disappointed that she had lost such a big fish. Laura cast her line back in the water at sat there for about
The Elmore family boarded their plane on May 18, 2015 to head to California for their cruise to Mazatlan. Once they arrived to California, Gavan's dad went to go rent a car so they could travel to the boat docks where the cruise is docked. His dad left, leaving his wife, his oldest son, and Gavan behind in the super hot weather. When his dad finally arrived with the car, the Elmore’s hit the open road to the boat docks. They arrived at the docks and gave their luggage to a man who brought it on the boat. Meanwhile the Elmore’s had to wait in a line to get registered for about an hour and half. When they all got to the front they registered and went on the boat.
One night, they took the boat to the beach. After several attempts, they got into the ocean. They got lost at sea for a week. They didn’t
It was a crisp morning on Newport Island, or Timmy’s Island as Timmy liked to think of it. Timmy Newport was chasing Dexter, the Newport family’s Golden Labrador, around the island. Dexter was turning 3 years old tomorrow, but the Newport family had owned him for about two and a half years. Timmy’s dad, Scott Newport, had found Dexter in the market one day in Miami. Miami was on the coast of Florida and was an hour-long boat trip, there and back. Even though Miami was only about four miles away from Newport Island, Mr. Newport was a good rower and could get there in about 30 minutes when he rowed. Mr. Newport had to go to Miami Mondays through Fridays for work. Scott Newport was a fisherman who caught fish with his Timmy every morning. He didn’t
5:7. So as not to break the net and lose all the fish, they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. Even then, there were so many fish, that they filled both the boats and they began to sink.
Just a short distance of nearly a mile from the island, some heavy rapids awaited our coming. They were something we all had to just deal with, and figure out by trial and error, the best way to pass through them. A fellow scout of mine, Ben, decided he wanted to be the first to try his luck in these rapids. Ben was a first year scout, who had never been on the canoe trip before. Ben was in a kayak as well. I followed closely behind Ben so that I could be of assistance should anything go
So Carter asks his parents if we can go swimming and they say yes. You both have to stay close to the boat said Mrs Sheppard. Carter and Landon both said ok and were ready to go fishing. The Day started out pretty normal just doing normal lake day stuff. It seemed like they were fishing forever and they finally caught something it was a catfish and
So Lynnde was still being very cautious like she always is, but she did go a little ways away from her dad. There are a lot of boats that drive by the beach, and most of the time the cause big waves at the beach. Everyone love to be in the water at the times when the waves come. They always get knocked around and they always have a lot of fun except one time. Lynnde didn’t have her life jacket on at the time and she was swimming farther away than she thought. Mom yelled to Lynnde, “You better come closer to the shore!”
Lisa and Kate are sisters and they go on a vacation to Mexico. Lisa and her boyfriend had just broke up before they left for the vacation but Lisa did not tell Kate.

The sisters decide to go with them to go scuba diving. When they get on the boat Louis and Benjamin get in the cage and go see the sharks first. When Lisa and Kate are getting into the cage Taylor informs them about the meter that tells them how much oxygen they have left. While Lisa and Kate are in the cage the cable holding the cage to the boat breaks. They fall 47 meters down in the ocean. They are too far down to get in contact with Taylor through the radio. Kate gets out of the cage and swims higher so she can get in touch with Taylor. Taylor tells Kate to get back in the cage and stay in there. He says he’s going to send Javier (Taylor's first mate) down with another cable to hook on the cage. Kate is getting low on oxygen but they see a flashlight so Lisa goes to see if it is Javier. While Lisa is headed to meet Javier great white sharks show up, but she is able to hide. After the sharks leave Lisa keeps swimming to the flashlight but when she gets there Javier is not
As she spotted Waffle House several feet away, she thought about something. Never in her life did her Mom ask a friend to tell her to call her. That was unusual, especially given that her mom always called her. She made a mental note to call her mother tomorrow as she opened the door to Waffle House, letting the boy enter just before she walked in.
Later on, the kids found a nearby police station. “We are saved!” Katie said. And soon they asked for help and found their way home. They all told their parents about the adventure they had. The next morning, the kids went to the beach while the parents had wine and relaxed on the sandy shore. Brian had an idea. He said “Hey guys I have an idea”
Shana replied back “I will ask my parents.” She ran back inside. A few seconds later she came out and told Landon and I that she and Tanner could go swimming with us. I told them we were going to get Zak and Logan. We said our goodbyes and then Landon and I went to get Zak and Logan. After we got those two to come swimming with us. My brother and I went back to our camper to get ready.
They were approaching the area with the hooks. They had less than a mile to go. They made it to the hooks. They started messing around sitting on the hooks jumping over them, but was when all three of them were sitting on the same hook the felt a little pull. Then nothing happened for a few seconds, then felt themselves being pulled higher and higher up to the surface of the water where the put in a cooler with water in it.
The voice died down and Arthur’s friends stood with jaws dropped, realizing that his story was not as false as they thought. Suddenly, a boat rose out of the river and began sailing away. The stunned silence was replaced by looks of excitement as they ran and jumped onto the rope ladder of their new ride. After climbing up they stood, panting and looked around the boat. It had a small cabin in the back with two rooms and a pantry stocked with all the food they could ever imagine. Realizing just how hungry they were, the group sat down on the deck and stuffed themselves. After the delicious meal, they retreated to their cabins, girls in one room and boys in the other. Arthur laid down, once again falling asleep to the gentle rocking of waves.
My husband ran into our small house in Sonora with this look of excitement that made me wonder what has given my husband such a big smile on his face. I ask him, “Joaquin what is it what is going on?” He told me in that giddy boyish voice that I loved so much, “There is GOLD up in Alta California.” I gave him a confused look thinking “What did that have to with us.” As my confused look stayed and the seconds passed he grabbed my hands and said, “This is our chance to leave Sonora and for me to finally be able to give you a bigger home if I am able to get my hands on some gold.” Still fathomed by the idea I tell him “but our family is here in Sonora.” He laughs and goes on to say that but our dreams can be in California and if anything our family will always be here. I sighed and he jumped knowing full well that I was going to cave and tell him yes. I could never resist when he was like this. My crazy husband had a dream and as his wife it was my job to support him. We packed up some food and water along with some clothes in our little suitcase. I wish I could say we set off with dreams filling our heads and hopes on the horizon, but we had some road blocks before we were able to leave. Eventually we left heading to find my brother-in-law in San Francisco. It being my first time in San Francisco but my husbands second so he began to be amazed in how it had changed from his first visit to San Francisco. He was excited to see what these Americans have transformed the society.
“Okay everybody” began the worker, “the boat has arrived and it is time to board.”She began to lead me, my sister Madison, my dad, his girlfriend, and a few other people towards a dock. She was easy to follow due to her canary yellow shirt as bright as the sun beaming down on us.
