Bon Voyage!

We made ourselves comfortable in the passenger area and waited for the boat to set sail.

Wilson, Antony and Tiny Toy all got very alarmed when the Captain's Safety Announcement started, so I popped Antony in the brown paper bag with TT to calm him down, then tried to distract Wilson.

I gave him a list of the Seven Wonders of the Isle of Wight to ponder over during the voyage. The Seven Wonders consist of: 

   •  LAKE where there is no water;

   •  NEEDLES that you cannot thread;

   •  RYDE where you walk;

   •  COWES you cannot milk;

   •  FRESHWATER you cannot drink;

   •  NEWPORT you cannot bottle; and

   •  NEWTOWN which is very old.
