We were in 4 to 5 feet or water under our keel (and we have 4 feet of draft which is how long our keel is) and about 300 yards away we saw a Catamaran that was aground (which is where your keel hits the Mud, Sand, Rock, anything your keel hits and gets stuck) And then on the VHF (a radio for communicating with other boats) they asked us “How much draft do you guys have? “ We answered “four feet”. They got off the ground and followed us through the shallow part and then drove ahead.
When we got to the marina in Jekyll Island we saw the same catamaran people that ran aground on the docks to help us tie up the lines on the cleats on the dock. When we were done tying up the ropes Mom and I went to the catamaran and got information on where things are. We also got a tour of their boat but then we discovered they were delivering it, and that it was a $500,000 boat. It was cool.
We went up to the marina restaurant and yard to find our way around. When mom and I were coming back from looking where the bathrooms were, we met a guy named Doc. He said “We’re going to have a fire/party, so if you folks can play any instrument your welcome to come and even if you folks don’t play an instrument then you are still welcome”. We went back to the boat and Mom made dinner while Dad and went to play football pass and play. Ava went back to the boat to do some things that don’t concern me like drawing; I’m not the drawing type so I didn’t come.
So when we came closer we saw SO MUCH WOOD that the people gathered and there were like 300 or more pinecones and 50 six foot long logs. Their fire was big so we stayed there for a while and I helped with the fire. Then Doc came with the accordion and played a couple song s that sounded like pirate songs but not the happy songs sad ones. Here’s the best description I have. Have you ever watched Pirates of the Caribbean the Dead Man’s Chest? In the part when Will Turner on the Flying Dutchman (aka Ship) was looking for the key for the Davy Jone’s locker, the sea creature was playing a sad gloomy song.
Then out of nowhere I heard the violin and then I said to myself “that’s my sister”. So I went over to see what was going on. I saw Ava playing Pirates of the Caribbean music that she learned in middle school to Doc.
When Ava finished she said to me that she was “I’m getting bit up by the awful gnats”. So I said “Well lets go to the fire” so we went to the fire and Ava played some more violin music with the other people. I kept burning the fire and I chatted a bit with some new people. My mom started talking to a different person and she was telling stories of extraordinaire things and then I started suffering from boredom.
I started playing with a fire stick to put the flame on things that weren’t lit. When everybody was starting to leave I asked if I could put water on the flames and Dad said yes. I put the fire out, we said our goodbyes. We went to the bathroom and we walked back to Night Music, put our pajamas on and then brushed and teeth. Then I read for a least one hour and then I closed my eyes and went to sleep. I really liked Jekyll Island.
