We are in Smugglers Cove off Santa Cruz Island now in the
Channel Islands. We are about to go on a hike.
The waves a big and we are on anchor. I am kind of sea sick but
otherwise I’m good. This is an abandoned farm on the island and there are olive
trees we can see. There are a lot of boats anchored here, too. There is a ship wreck
here too but we cant see it because it is under water.
Hi. I'm Ben. I am going to be going to Mexico for 10 months on my family's sailboat named "Appa". This blog is about me and the trip. By the way, I am 8 and will be homeschooling 3rd grade on the trip!

In Ventura, California
It's super windy today. I'm going swimming because the waves are really big!! Tomorrow "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" comes out and I really want to see it. I really miss my friend and also if you don't know me you can still comment on my blog, just please don't swear. We are at the Ventura Yacht Club and I really like it here. I got a new game on my iPod Touch. It is called Terraria. Max played it too so he helps me. It is really cool. It is like Minecraft but better. School has been kind of fun lately. I've been playing with photo booth too. I'm also helping my dad de-rig a J24. He got to race on it last night.
Photo Booth - "Self Portrait" :):):):):).

In Santa Barbara
I am blogging today because I have to write some stuff for
school. If you want you can skip this. You won’t miss anything. I have to write
a short composition about this New School Year. This year is different because I
am being home schooled on my boat. I like school so far. My favorite subject so far is mythology. Science
takes a long time but it is fun. Being homeschooled is fun because after you are
done with your work for the day you can swim or go to a beach. I do miss my
friends a lot. It is fun to have not to drive every day to school. It is fun having my mom as a teacher. Its hard to concentrate sometimes when your little sister is bugging you but other times my sister can be nice. And another cool thing about home schooling is that it usually takes 2 hours.

Morro bay
In Morro Bay now it is super sunny. We went to a small aquarium and got to feed a seal and three sea lions. On the way there we went into a cool shop that sold ninja, samurai, and regular swords. It even had wolverines claws!! They are so cool. We had a over-nighter last night. It took us 17 hours to get here. I slept outside with my dad and Max. It was cold. Before bed, we watched the movie Surfs's Up.

Monterey Bay
Yesterday we left Half Moon Bay. It took us all day to get here. It was 60 miles. We played five games and my favorite was The Five Crowns card game. It was super foggy. Just now a sea gull landed on our dock with a crab in its mouth and bit it in half. There are a bunch of seals here they are loud and really annoying. Our friend Chris gave us a whole bunch of Simpson Halloween specials me my dad and my brother Max who also has a blog watched four of them last night before going to bed. Soon, after our schoolwork, we are going to walk to the aquarium.

New post
I love San Fran because every time they start a sailboat
race they shoot a shotgun in the air.
