Pirates need winches to work!

When we park the boat at night we drop a heavy piece of metal called
an anchor and a long chain to hold the boat from moving. The chain and
anchor are heavy. Too heavy to pick up. So I use a winch to haul it
up. Here is a picture of me tearing my winch apart. Note the mean
face. Working on winches instead of sailing makes pirates mad. Maybe
tomorrow we can put it back together and get out of Rockland harbor. I
sure hope so.

Well, kids, remember: teachers make the rules. Listen to the teacher!
