The boat is ready to go and all the lines are released from the shore. Slowly we motor out of the harbour and the wide open sea appears before us. Grey clouds and grey seas ahead and now we can raise the sails to catch the winds that take us on our voyage.
The waves are choppy and make all sorts of shapes as they form together and then disappear under the boat.
Look there is a gannet fly low down between the waves looking for a fish to catch.

And also two shearwaters flying together low over the surface.
After a long day sailing we arrived in a sheltered bay and the boat rocked gently as the sun went down

Yes I think this is just right for the young’uns – a steppingstone to imagining the colours, sights and changing face of the sea. And the pictures are exciting (we love a gannet!). Be confidant in your writing – it’s good! Children’s book to follow I think. Xx😊
