<<Written by Evan, age 7 ~ Dictated to Mom>>
Our plans are to go sailing around the world. But I don’t think we can make it in one year. We are going to do so much fun stuff sailing around and finding other kids on boats. I hope we can go to Hawaii because I like the warm water. We went there once before and my mom and dad have been there several times.
We have coasters that show the Hawaiian Islands. The coasters were on the boat when we bought it.
Our boat is 40 feet long. It is a Fuji 40 sailboat. We’ve lived on it for a year now. I like it more now than when we first moved on because I didn’t want to leave my friends and my Oma and Grandpa. I feel a little bit better now because I know that we are going to stay here a little while longer.
When we leave, I will probably be pretty sad. But I will also be pretty excited for the big adventure. I can’t wait to tell you about it.
If you’re reading this and you’re a boat kid, leave a comment so that we can be friends. Let me know where you are!
Thanks for reading,
Evan
Thanks and I’ll try to catch a crab. We tried to fish some keys out of the river with the fishing pole but we weren’t successful, unfortunately. Can’t wait to see you up in the Puget Sound! Love, Evan.
Hi Evan! This is your Uncle Clay! I’m excited to read your blog post and I’ll be sharing it with my family. I know you’re going to have an awesome time on the boat. We will come visit you when you make it to Puget Sound! Hope you can catch some crabs with that crab snare and fishing pole we got you for Christmas!
Thanks for the encouragement and I hope you can share my blog with Logan and Jordan! It will be nice to have them follow my blog. From Evan.
Hope we can see you in Fiji maybe. It will be nice to have you read my blog. Thank you for the encouragement!
From Evan.
Thanks for the comment. It will be nice to tell you about it.
This will be really fun. I will have so much fun telling you about it.

That was actually my second blog post. Have you read the first one?
Thanks for the comment.
From Evan.
Thanks for the comment. It will be a pleasure to help your students learn. This is for your students to learn about left and right in boat language. Starboard means right and port means left. I think it is cool that your class will be following my blog. Thank you! From Evan.
Hi Evan! This is Logan and Jordan’s mom! You are living such a unique and amazing adventure! Hope you find many boat kids to be friends with! Enjoy every minute!
Thank you so much for your comment. Evan will be SO excited to reply to these comments when he gets home from school today. 🙂 ~Rachel
Hey Evan, I’m a boat kid although I’m actually 45 years old imagine that!! Best of luck with your travels, sounds like the adventure of a lifetime, remember these times. Enjoy Hawaii, was there when I was in the Navy 20 years ago, it’s a magical place…have fun and be safe.
PS my wife and I are following your adventures, because we hope to sail to Fiji from NY!!
This is so neat, Evan! I bet it has taken some getting used to but I’m so excited to hear of your boating adventures!
Evan! I’m not a boat kid, but I wanted to leave you a message & tell you how great your first blog post is. Wonderful job! I can’t wait to read your next one.
Hi Evan,
I am Joe’s mom. Joe and your dad have been friends since they were in first grade!
I teach second grade. I plan to show your blog to my students. I think they will be impressed with your blog.
None of them are living on a boat, but they will be amazed when they learn that you are! They will like reading about your adventures!
