“What a great day for a boat ride,” I thought to myself. It is a cozy warm, shorts and short sleeve shirt day at the time that people are arriving onto the big bulky catamaran. The sky is light blue with some dainty see-through clouds and a slight warm western breeze. I am located on one of the tropical islands of Hawaii, Kauai. The glossy white surface of the boat is blinding because of the reflection from the early evening sun. Teeth showing grins from children, parents, and grandparents appear, looking as if it were Christmas morning. There are three workers onboard the forty-foot boat, which include two guys and a girl appearing to be in their thirties. There is a scraggly, grey bearded old man behind the silver steering wheel on the second …show more content…
The smooth wave pool tides follow behind the boat as it leaves the harbor and into the Pacific Ocean. The vessel has a second deck with five rows of white glossy benches with no shelter from the sunlight where you can also find the captain in the bridge of the ship. Once the boat hits the wide open ocean, there are five-foot waves with a slight wind. A big black thunderous cloud is on the far, far horizon. Everyone aboard the ship is swiftly jolting from handrail to handrail because the boats unsteady sway. The captain of the boat turns on the song Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. It is the perfect song for the occasion. Right away, people start making their way to the dinner for all of the passengers on the boat, which included bland white rice and chicken. After eaten, the bland food was not settling very well. An hour and a half had passed, and now the boat was swaying harder and harder from side to side. The black thunderous black clouds that had originally been seen on the horizon to the west had finally made its presence to the boat. The eyes on everyone started looking like they were in a drunk daze, because of the momentus rock. It only took a few minutes from the nice wave-pool type waves to transfer into what was now fifteen-foot waves and a downpour of large heavy stinging raindrops. Turmoil and regret as to why the captain had let us out entered my mind, even though I had …show more content…
Children faces are bright red with tears rolling down their cheeks, while some were scream crying. As being an eighth grader, I am not ready for this type of situation. Scared to my core, I am actually thinking that the boat is going to sink and I am going to DIE TODAY. The captain is the only one on the second level of the ship, while most of the passengers are down on the bottom floor hurling everywhere. I finally could not take the sights and sounds of people puking so I closed my eyes and plugged my ears with two pointer fingers for most of the way back. The same pattern of up and down, up and down, up and down went on for what seemed to be a full day, but what was only an hour and a half. The rain, waves, water, kids crying, boat knocking us like a pinball machine, puking yellow slime, finally stopped after an hour and a half as the knocked up ship had finally made its way to the safe
There were big, Watery Droplets with strikes of lightning hitting the side of my John boat in the Everglades. Our 12 Gauge shotgun was locked and loaded getting ready for Big Mama. Meat hung from the trees, shotgun shells on the floor. We were in our raincoats trying to stay safe and dry from the rain and lighting. We see little gators swimming around ,but we came out here for the one, the only, Big Mama.
Apparently the compass on board was malfunctioning due to the magnetic attraction of the shoreline and the ship was in the breakers before the island was even seen. It captain immediately put the ship into reverse but was driven onto the rocks by the trailing sea and winds. The
She jumped into their armoured boat and as they zipped across the lake she enjoyed the calm before the storm. However, when they arrived at the island all was quiet. No tents were set up no guns lying around it was just an island, a simple lovely island. “ WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON” Calla
As they set out dark clouds covered the moonlight making their escape easier. A storm came and suddenly, halfway to the shore, the boat was turned over causing the occupants
Around 1 in the morning Alvarenga and Córdoba were rocked around the boat by forceful waves. The boat began to dangerously fill with water. They unsuccessfully
The people who went to the docks to greet the ships were met with a terrifying surprise. The sailors aboard the ships were
Early June sun shone bright as I set off into town. I drove down the winding road. My mind drifted into oblivion. I knew this road's every twist and turn when CRUNCH. I stepped outside to assess the damage.
The couple and a few other men decided to stay because they didn’t believe that a hurricane was coming. They partied and drank until the winds shook and the men who had stayed left to try and protect their own homes. The storm builds
The Mackinac Express “I’m so bored, Dad.” I groaned. I slumped against the boathouse wall. Even though I typically hate boats, I vividly recall being so irritated that the ferry hadn’t come yet. I was at Star Line 's boathouse on Mackinac Island, and we had been waiting for at least 20 minutes for a ferry.
Ahh!! The ship is under attack!The third reason of why the ship could have been dangerous it that the ship could have been taken over by pirates. “You’re a girl, a pretty girl (Avi 109).” If the pirates knew that there was a rich girl on the ship, they could have robbed her. After that, the pirates could have enslaved the rest of the crew members.
Proceeding at only 3 knots, it would take forever to reach our first anchorage off the coast of Capri, near the Faraglioni Rocks. Other boats in the area also seemed to be struggling to sail in the light air. After more than ninety minutes of trimming sails for optimum boat speed but going nowhere, Vince acquiesced and turned on the motor. I was lazily asleep on deck. Awakened by the sound, I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Throughout the time that they are on the boats they become
. is the most pitiful of all. The crew becomes so dishonest that they would rather, “. . . open-mouthed in the sea , give up, . . . life at once then slowly let it wear away. . .”
As the journey goes on the crew ends up in the freezing waters of the Arctic, because Captain Ahab insists on chasing the Moby Dick. By this point, the barrels that stored the oil are rotted and all the oil they collected is now wasted. Ahab is keeping the crew “hostage” until they kill Moby Dick. They finally see Moby Dick and Captain Ahab kills himself and all the crew while trying to kill the white whale. Captain Ahab was a selfish obsessed man who only looked out for
