Prologue,Prologue and more Prologue

Prologue Continued Again:

We made Mum 'First Mate and Cook', Laura was given the positions of 'Second Mate, Sail Repair Manager', Ben was made 'Able Seaman and Rigging and Ropes Manager' and I was made 'First Lieutenant, Chief Navigator and Logkeeper'.

After painting her new name on her we decided on a date when we would first take Swallow out: the 28th of September.

That is the finished prologue,I hope that you have enjoyed reading it!!!

Prologue Continued 2

This is the continuation of the Prologue but I have also decided on a slightly modified version of the title:

The Beginning of the Never-Ending Story

That weekend we went and picked up the boat which was named Flyer, but we all decided we wanted to call her Swallow. The next day, with Dad, we made the Ships Papers which said that Swallow was owned by Hill and Co, and everybody's position on the crew. We had already decided that Dad was going to be Captain, so we just had to decide who had the other positions on the crew.

Continued Prologue

Dad told me to tell Mum(Susan) that it was super cheap and that we would have a family conference tonight with my brother and sister (Ben and Laura) about whether we should buy it or not.

So when Dad arrived home that day we sat down and had a discussion about it. In the end, after some convincing, we all decided that we would like it and before we had even seen it, we had hit the
Buy Now icon on the online auction site Trademe. We ended up getting the boat for $2500.
