Aw...... isnt it lovley. Sunset...... on the sea. It remindes me of home.................... you know when i was living in england, every night i would wake up at 6 am to wach the sun rise. But here after every one go's to bed. I go to the kichen............ get a cocks biscite............. and wach the sunset .............crying my eyes out.

Eww... well thats what most of us cabin boys got, frostbite! But unfortunatly i got the worstpart of it this is what i got. Grossom huh. Ye i agree, it took one month to disapier and i had to cute my little fingger off. Now i real y apriciate that i used to have it. But you learn from your mistakes, so i learnt from mine.

Bur.... its freezzzzing since we're now in winter,the wind is unbearably cold. Imagine this: your a cabin boy, you have to clean the deck the winds blowing in your face, your hands are shaking. Now how are you supposed to work! Huh, well its not easy, first you have to layer your self with lots of clothes. Then you have to work work on stop, otherwise you'll feel sick the whole day long.

Wow...... dolphins. That means were getting close to our destination. Well close. Our captian said that we were 2 mounths away from america and 7 months away from home, well england. I saw the dolphins when i was cleaning the deck this morning and i called to whole crew!! Now im famous for the dolphin finder!!! No actually im just showing of, i just called to captian and he called the crew. But amn't i lucky not most people get to spot dolphins

Isn't he cute!! This is buster, my animal friend. Hes actually the captians dog but he sleeps with me and keeps me company through out the day. So that im not the lonley fat boy, insted im the "fat boy with the dog". Buster's actually makes being a cabin boy berable, its some times really fun because buster tries to carry the buckets but insted, she drages them. Plus, when i try to go to sleep, insted to pass the time i dress buster up. This is him as a pirate, cute huh.

Yumm...... dosnt it look nice! Well since we've been sailing for about a month now, most of our fresh food has been eaten. So instead we have to survive on this; its called the ships biscuit. Dosnt look that nice does it, well after you've worked on your arms and legs all day its actually quite filling. WELL at least its better than nothing. But the thing thats crusom is that after 1 hour of leaving it in the tub or on the boat....... it gets filled with squirming magots!!!!!!!! Thats why i have to keep it in my pocket!!

Say hello to my best friends( my only friends) are Mr mop and Mrs Brush. Ok..... , you get the picture, well what im trying to say is that since im a normal girl dressed in a fat boy suite nowone would really like now would they. No i didnt think so, well so since i have nowone to talk to...... i talk to the things i work with. Look im not going insane its just that im lonley..... cant you see that. Im having kinda of a hard time here, i mean knowone knows im a girl so they dont exacly take simpathy on me.But im now starting to see that and im thinking of ripping of a bit of the extra layers so that i can, have some real buddies.

Now does this look comfortable for your fist day sailing, no i didn't think so. Well that was what i had to deal with! Bad weather, stormy seas, the whole pack. For you first day, i mean how bad can it get huh! Plus everyone was treating me like i was some dirty old rag, i mean i was dressed for the part, right? i mean that's why i got the job. Oh Jane stop pulling yourself down! Yes i agree....... oh i completely forgot to mention my name to you, oh well its Jane nice huh........ no its horrible!!! So as a guy i called myself a very handsome name: Jacob! OH, i hate this picture it makes me want to cry. Oh well now you know that wherever i go bad luck followes my footsteps. Well in this scene at least!!!

Now, the reson for money was not the only reason for why i left and dressed up for this job. Well, the second reson is because the ship was going to america. Whats america? I asked my family when they told me that was wear i was hedding. "Oh, america is a place even bigger than england; and the reason this very glamerous ship is hedding ther is because america is the country of hopes". Said my gandpa........ and since then ive been inspised. So with me and my tub we will make it to america!!!!

Oh, and isn't this heaven! Lying in an old bath tub filled with rats, cobwebs and MAGOTS!!!! No this was not my cup of tea. I mean ye i needed the money for my family, but that dosent mean i have to be sleeping in this dump!
So i work hard all day so that when its time to get a wink of sleep........ i wont notice the smell, rats, magots,and creepy crawlies!!!

Wow! Isn't it a beaty, well no: to an experienced cabin boy, this would be his nightmear. Well how was i suposed to know that the reson i got paid more was because i had to do tripple work, i mean there was only five cabin boys on bord so litrally- i was aching all over by the time i had finished my first day. But there was a hole more month of cleaning and scrubing to do before the ship could sail!

Well, this is me. Not that attractive am I ,oh well its not like i think about that since i am supposed to be a boy. You say your lifes unfair well what about me; I have to be a scruffy, fat looking, dirty, cabin boy!! I am forced to wear these dirty looking clothes and i was forced to take this job.
