I grew up on the west coast of Scotland. My father likedsailing (乘船航行) and he had a sailing boat called "Jessie James". He named it after my grandma Jessica and my grandpa James. It was a large white boat with a green line along the side. My father often took my brother and me sailing at the weekend and we always had a good time.

Now I have grown up and started my own family. I live far from my home town because of my work. And I can't remember when I last went sailing on the boat. However, I remember I was very sad when my father decided to sell the boat. He felt that he was too old to look after it.

Last summer, my family and I were on holiday. One day, when we were walking along a port (港口), we saw two boats. I noticed that one of them had a green line along the side. It was just like my father's boat. We waited for it to get closer and, sure enough, along the side it said "Jessie James". I couldn't be moredelighted.

I talked to the owner of the boat, and he let us get on the boat.  ▲  I even found my name cut into one of the seats. I took some pictures to remember the boat and the good memories (回忆) I had on it as a child.

I'm David from India. Last year, my family visited Gharapuri, an island in Mumbai Harbour, India. It was my last trip.

We got out of bed early and took a boat. When we got to the island, we climbed up many stairs to get to a temple（寺庙）. In the temple, we saw the famous sculpture（雕像）with three heads! After that, we visited the other parts of the temple, and then looked for a place to have lunch.

We found a quiet place under a big tree and got our food out. Then tree monkeys appeared. I took photo for them and a monkey took my sandwich! Next, another one took some fruit, so we drove the monkeys away. In the end, we finished eating quite quickly.

After that, we climbed a hill to see the sights from the top. We sat down to rest. The weather was very warm and soon we fell asleep. After having a break, we ran back to the stop. But the last boat has left at six, and it was almost seven o'clock. We missed the boat! So we spent the night on the island.

Anyway, it was a happy trip and Gharapuri is a fantastic place to spend the holidays. Just remember these two things: don't eat in front of the monkeys, and don't forget to catch the last boat back to Mumbai!
