Spooky spooky post

Okay, fellow blog readers. 

I’m sorry I have not written for a while. A long time. A catastrophic, long-in-the-tooth, time. I will try to write more regularly in the future. No promises. But I will try. 

The reason I have not written for a while is that I at first run out of time to post, then don’t feel like posting, then I end up not having written in a long time. 

Now, back to actually telling you about the trip.  

I’ll tell you about Fort Frederica. If I told you about every thing that has happened since I last posted, it would take too long.

Back to Fort Frederica. Today I did the ranger program. As always, it was super fun. I think this particular ranger booklet was my favorite of the many I have done. It was my favorite because it was more like a scavenger hunt than just facts in a booklet.

To start the junior ranger program, the park ranger had me chose between a bonnet or a private’s hat. I chose the private’s hat. Next I was given a satchel containing a spy glass, a wooden ball in cup (the game where you try to get the ball on the string into the cup), a map, a candle, and a protractor. After that, I was told that I was delivering a message to Captain Demere. The message was that there were sightings of the Spanish. 

Then I went all over the park to deliver the message. I went from a ruin, to a chat, to a ruin, to the fort. And so on. 

Now, about Halloween. I am going to be an orange traffic cone. Very simple, but fun.

I have been learning how to run the helm (where you steer and manage the engine from) when it is time to anchor and time to hoist-anchor. At first my dad asked me to do it, then I started to volunteer to do it. I have realized that it is quite fun running the helm to help with the anchor. 

The next step is for me to drive the boat when we are underway.
