Dear Mummy
Ta very much 4 the check. I lost the first one bad when I put it in the hole in the worl but the second won was Ok in the post offis. I finded an extortionist man wot gets rid of evil spirits and he gave me an exhibition. My head was spinning afterwards! I was told to go see First, Dan Alsop He is a merlin wizard and not a karate expert like I thort he was gonna be even tho he has a beered like a Chinese wizard . He is a glue roo and he helps you when you are stuck and does specshul train days for peple with big problems like you kno I got pritty bad. We had lesons on the sea at Lime Seamist whitch was big different to our pond. We had al sorts of tests like getin out of the harbore with no water and not hitting concrete walls. You kno im not good at that mum. Then we was tort how to kno when we had slow speed from fast speed cos Dan switched the wind of. it's a good place like centre parx cos then he switched the waves on and we went up and down but still stopped. And in fog. Dan looked at wot was wrong wiz us. So we changed the crew. Jane, who was champion at the bits, knew all the ropes but stil made no difrence to us winning. She was sad. Later we changed the helm and kept the crew and that made a big difrence. Some peple are sayin they now kno what the problem is. That night we had rest and rarnted food in Dans lounge. we watchd fire works for some guy out in the bay but I stil co0d not see him. Later some peple drank fire in the pub next door. They was weird sisters, mum. I tried it at home but c0od not get the sink tap to light. Next day was good wind and water and we went faster. A man wot is solid at boats called Peking but is not Chinese either helped us lots. He told me to stop the racket on the main sheet but I did not kno I was making a noise with them. Anyway, my frend john wat does the front bits in the boat had a good time with him on there own and sed afterwoods I had a lot to lern. So ther is a nother cors in may in rutland wich is somewere neer denmark. Can you buy this for my christmas present?
