A Picture of My Island Life

I liked the one with the boats racing. It looked like
the Bequia Easter Regatta. I did what I had done
last time. I looked at the picture really hard and
shut my eyes really tight until all I could hear was
the sound of the waves.

My eyes opened. I was on a small double-ender
sailing boat with an old blanket for a sail. I let my
hair go loose. I could smell the fresh air.

Back on the bay I heard people chanting the name
of my little boat: go Star Gazer go, go Star Gazer.
I looked behind me. I realized I was in the lead.
I had just won.

Wow! I was handed a medal. I gave the other
players a high-five to show good sportsmanship.

Then as I strolled along the beach I saw a picture
frame in a sea grape tree. I looked through it and
saw the restaurant and climbed back in.
