Okay so here it is.
We have been docked in Duxbury for like 2 days now. The people here are ike the people from Bow, have a stick so far up there butt it is pathetic. Last night they had a wicked awesome party that we were invited to after they eat dinner. Unfortunatly they had an open bar which for us "sailors" did not go over to well, all I have to say is good thing we had a later "turn to" (wake up call). Uh I was supposed to call home at midnight and just barley being able to make it to the ship I decided I would call later. Things are going good, we have been giving tours to people. Tomorrow (Sunday) we leave for Plymouth at 6 in the morning cause that is when high tide is. The channel that we are in right now is so small that we sink in the mud during low tide (not a good thing). Well I guess I will write more later. We had another party tonight on the ship and I gotta wake up early.

So here is what is up.
The trip from Chelsea to Duxbury was eventful. We had to motor the whole way because the wind was working against us. We had a couple on board because we do take paying passengers and the women got sick and puked all over the deck. Let’s just say thank god I was not there. So I did feel a little sick, okay let me rephrase that a lot sick. I didn't get sick but it was my first time on a tall ship and they say you can feel the rolling and pitching a whole lot more. So that was the trip over. Then we went from Duxbury to Plymouth which was a quick jump across the harbor. So we arrived in Plymouth at like 8 in the morning on Sat. I think. Well we got in and everyone was here to greet us. That night we went out on the town. We went to a local bar which
is owned by a British gentlemen and our first mate just happens to be British so they gave us a free round of beer, and then more people came in and were like are you the crew from the Bounty let me get you a beer. So everyone was trashed except for Dillion and I who was underage and Caroline who only had one beer. We got the pleasure of walking the "boys" home from the bar because they could not be left alone and they were being true sailors and singing shanties the whole way home. SO we made it back the boat where they were having a
party for the sponsors who brought us here and we weren't invited and they told us we needed to leave the ship which is crap b/c that is like saying hi I am going to have a party at your house and you can't come and we don't want to see you. So lets just say we weren't so quite when we came back but the stuck up poop heads got over it. So now we are in Plymouth and we are here till I think Sunday so like a week and we are giving tours. Today I got to hang off the side of the dock and paint the side of the ship, good thing I brought my paintin' clothes. Well I will talk to ya later.

Hi,
From Chelsea to Duxbury we really didn't do anything cause we motored the whole time.
Tonight they had a clam bake for us at a local restaurant. We had Chowda, Lobster, Steamers, and I got to show Caroline how to eat a lobster. It was funny. Med the guy who showed me around the first day is back on board...he is killing me he is so funny. By the way we can see the Mayflower from where we are it is down the dock. People come and ask us if this is the Mayflower and we are like uh...no. So a whole bunch of us went to go look at the Mayflower and
asked if it was the Bounty and we got to go in places that the public can't cause we are CREW!. Well bye for now. We are in Plymouth till Sat.

Quick Note,
Change in plans we are going to Greenport, Long Island now and then to Rochester we have to get an emergency bilge pump put in. We will probably get there on Sunday and be staying till like Thurs. I think. I will try to call as soon as I can. Mention it to Tom and Gail as I have no idea how far away they live, they can come visit. We are leaving Plymouth on Sat. Uh today we went rowing which was sooo cool, turns out I am pretty good. Then the rowing team brought us back to the boat yard and we had pizza. uh last night we had a really big party just the crew and uh yeah...I don't really need to say more. Today we had the day off. I slept on deck most of the day and then Meagan, Trevor, Caroline, Matt and I went to downtown Plymouth and got ice cream and laid on the grass for like 2 hours just hanging out by the bay. Then we came back to the ship and I feel asleep in the hammock...ohhhh so comfy. Bongo my quad mate has changed his plans and is leaving tomorrow and Med is leaving in Greenport so I will have the quad to myself so I think Caroline is going to be moving down which is cool. I will try to call in Greenport.
