The Wild Wild Life

My wildlife expierences have been sooooo satisfactory. Let me give
you a list:
I've walked by bears,
Ridden past a million sea lions,
And seals.
Not to mention more seals.

I've had 2 orca whales go under my boat,
And 2 humpbacks go alongside it.
Plus, a humpback jumped straight out of the
water right in front of us!

I've seen 500 pelicans dive around us.

But the most incredible experience besides
the whale is when dolphins rode for
half an hour in front of our boat,
under our boat, and along our boat.
A whole pod!

Yet with all this stuff in the sea,
We have only caught 2 fish.

Whats up with that?

Anyway, speaking of eating,
Mom's sourdough bread is getting better.
She says, 'That's wildlife! Yeast is a really nice beast.'

As we're heading to Mexico,
it's getting hotter and I'm getting
my first taste of night watch.
What you do is stuff yourself full
of sweet stuff and tell your parents
it's because you have to stay awake.

Other than that it is boring. It is not a wild wild life.
