Vester steers da ship toward da shore neer da beach. Once da anchor ish dwopped, timmy, Caleb an Loki dwop da ladder an lower da rowboats fur effery to go ashore. Justin an Tare begin to dig a firepit while Tita, Topaze, Topaz, Oreo and Zade walk awong da shore wit buckets lookin fur clams. Paloma and hur assts. Maddy and Simi and Willow stwart bwinging taters and corn and da days catch uf fish ashore. Once da lunch is cooking effery goes into da water to shwim or basks in da warm sun.

finaly, tummys fwull an muscles stwetched, effery feelin welaxed da gang furs begin to gaffur togeffur der bewongins and head back to da MCV Munchkin to continue der twip.

When da leftoffurs awr put away, an da dishes washed, da ladies awll go back on deck. But now dey see da scenery has changed. Da forest has faded into swamp. Tawll cypress twees coffured in moss haff taken da pwace uf da oaks an maples walnuts dey know. Da farthur the ship progresses da more swamplike it becomes. "Oh, look," Willow meows. "Ishn't dat a awwigator?" Da furs go to da rail fur a cwosur look an see da long greyish body wit da huge jaws an teeth. As dey look closer dey can shee big snakes hangin fwum da twees an darting about da water. Dey heer da cawlls uf stwange birds. Da furs look at each offur den back at da stwange sites befur dem. Many awr finking how gwad dey awr on der sturdy little ship an not haffing to walk along da riffur bank.
