While we moored near the Amistad in New Haven we saw a guy circling
our boat in a little red dinghy. He stopped circling and came over to
compliment us on having such a pretty boat.
We thanked him and talked for a while. It turned out he was the
captain of the Amistad. He invited us to come look at the Amistad. We
went over and he gave us a tour. It pays to be friendly sometimes!
This is a picture of the guy, Captain Sean. He has spent a lot of time
on boats. He's an old grey beard like me now but when he was a little
kid, like ten years old, he and his family sailed around the world on
a boat like Cahaya. We asked him what it was like to sail around the
world with your family as a little kid. He said it was a blast. It
took them four years to get all the way around.
What do you think? Could you go live on a boat for four years sailing
around the world?
