porter, deep in thought about our sailboat trip

I’m going to be sailing. First you need a lifejacket.  If you fall off the edge of the boat, it makes you float.  Next, you need a sail.  The wind crashes into it and makes the boat go.  You also need a boat.  Finally, you need a propeller and a fender.  The propeller spins around in circles and makes the boat go.  The fender hangs on the side of the boat.  It stops the boats from crashing in to you.

I am excited for this boat trip.
