Dear Log Book,
Well, my crew seems to be settling in! They are working very hard and very excited about being on this beautiful boat! Scrubber and Ship Boy are working very hard at keeeping the ship's deck clean. A few of the crew have been quite greenish in colour, as they haven't developed their sea legs yet.
So far, the food hasn't complained too much about the food. However, we are running low on fressh food, and the biscuits are beginning to get quite dry. The days seem very long, but according to my Quadrant readings we are on the fight track! I think we will be seeing land in the next few weeks.
Sincerly,
John Cabot.

Dear diary,
Its been a long 3 weeks so far, I've settled in quite well, but weevils are gaining in on the food and if they get in my water I'll have to drink beer!! I'm getting very scurvy, maybe I'll go on cooking duty, besides I like to cook.
Maybe I'll be on kitchen duty with Poopdeckjen and Kathy!!
Oh look game time!! I'm going to play now, Bye!
Sincerly,
Kayla

dear log book,
I 'm telling John Cabot to kick Jack Sparrow off the boat because I heard that Jack Sparrow pushed Bob overboard. Everyone is mad if they don't find out that Jack sparrow did it they will think I did it but if I do they will think I'm lieing so this is a win win for the crew. So I'm in my room an lock it so know one will come in. (If John Cabot finds that I'm not working he will fire me so I have to keep low and go out and work.) So my break is over sea ya!
yours truely

It’s been three weeks since the voyage and it’s been great, I don’t get sea sick easily so I haven’t threw up yet. Wait one second I’m just going to steal some biscuits from Louise (I think it’s a secret stash.) I’m in the kitchen so it’s not going to be long. Lets see here, ooh ok that’s good, yum... thats good Biscuits, uh oh someone's coming, I think it’s Louise sorry but I need to go, bye. Now how do I get down from here?

I've been at sea for three weeks and according to me thats a long time on a ship. This mornning I made some more cinnamon buns that No Beard and pirate pete mentioned I know this because I read their log books and ya I hope they don't read this because I didn't tell them that I read their books. Anyhow last night there was a party on ship just for the fun of it and also bill and nicknack gray stayed up all night trying to get in the kitchen for more rum.this afternoon I am making the kitty scallops. well I got to go Kathy is calling me!
Dear Log Book
I've been on the ship for 3 weeks and I've feel like dieing or sailing on the ship is a optional for each one. I've been having a hard time on board but it is kinda worth it. Well ya know that bob died. Well I found hs log book and found out what he wrote. Some secrets and stuff like that. I found his log book when I accidently fell in his room.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried some of Louise's Cinnimon Buns and you know what, I might ask John Cabot if I can help Louise in the Kithcen then I can take some more cinnimon bun nad I might learn how to make it HEHEHEHEHE. Now I can read Bob's log book.
OOPS Break is over, I'll ask if I can I have some kitchen duty with Louise
YES!!!!!!

Dear Diary, June 4th,1497
There's so much things to tell you I don't know where to begin!
Well, actually I do, but it's an expression I use a lot.
I'll start with the delicious cinamon bun that Louise invented.
It's way better than the dry, damp smelling biscuits. They look like they are moving!
And Bill actually attempted to steal food from the kitchen where chefs Kathy and Poopdeckjen work!
We also had a party which went on pretty long.
The kitchen smelled really nice from the food that had been prepared for the party.
Yours truly,
Louisiana

Dear Diary
I can not find a job that fits me.Frist I tryed crows nest and I could not look down so I don't think that was a good job for me.then I wanted to try cooking in the kitchen but that did not work because there were bugs running around in the biscuit so then I went scraming out of the room.The Captin thougt that stearing the ship would be pretty good for me .5 mintues later I saw a dead whale floating by and my skin colour stared turning green.So now the Captin has given me a good job.I walk around and tell people good job but for me to stay away from places up highand from the sides of the ship.Also I have had people come up to me saying why did you push Bob off?I say it was not me!
But it was me.
Oh well
Got to go!

Dear Diary,
I've been on the ship for three weeks now, and I haven't got home sick yet. Today my job is to scrub the floors, I love it cause its part of my name! Jack Sparrows getting a bit better on the boat, stomach wise. I've given up with eating the biscuts, theres so many bugs in them, and last time I ate one there was a big juicy bug in it, but I spit it out faster then you could say gross! Other then the crew throwing up and the biscuts everything is beautiful. Me and Jack Sparrow just saw a dead whale floating around when I was helping him find a job to do. It was wacko! Well I better get back to scrubbing the floors, bye.
Yours Truly,
Scruber!

Dear Diary,
There's a really juicy rumor afoot; the rumor is that Jack Sparrow murdered Bob! Now I've got to be extra careful around her. We are getting slightly close to the eqautor according to our Captain. Dissapointingly, I'm litterally "Going Green", I need a shower! I really miss my family, I wish I could send them a telegram, but alas, I'm in a boat. I think were going to celebrate tonight, so Sweets For Dinner; I'm thinking 2 cinnamon buns witha couple glasses of rum each!
Gotta go, my new friend Juliana's waiting!
I hope I can write soon

Dear Diary,
It' s been 3 weeks since I' ve been on the journey. As Captain Cabot said, we think that after a few weeks, it will be the day for us to see the land. Without the fisherman Bob, Louisiana and I are having a hard time fishing. Actually, we haven' t complained about the food, but water is getting lower and other main food is getting less than what we were having in the beginning of the journey. But only Kitty' s fat enough for her age because she has been eating fishes a lot! We were working hard on The Matthew so Captain Cabot said that we were having a party! We played boardgames and stuff. What a fun day it was! Now it' s time for me to work~

dear logbook
I have been at sea for 35 days now and I have been working on the ship with jobs like scrubbing the deck and fixing holes in the ship.
It sounds not so fun but actually you can have a good time fixing holes. Once, I had to cut a small hole in a cellar door because it was rotting, and behind the wall there was our last barrel of clean water and rob the blacksmith was drinking from it. I cut the barrel and both of us got soaked! We decided to keep it a secret because people would get mad if they found out we wasted the last barrel of clean water, but we are kind of happy because we get to drink beer now. Well I have to go fix another hole, I hope I do not get sprayed with dirty water! Yuck!
see you next time!
Billy Joe
