Once we were on board the yacht, where I was allocated the Double Forward Guest cabin, I quickly settled in and prepared for bed, before heading upstairs to say good night to Dad, who was seated in the forward lounge working on his laptop, which I noticed he made sure that I didn’t see the screen. I woke up a few hours later and headed upstairs, through a door and down the forward stairs to the galley, to get a glass of juice from the fridge. “I could have got that for you Master Sebastian,

The next morning, we did some sea kayaking, at Port Lewaigue Beach, and some abseiling, and in the afternoon we did some archery and a high ropes course and some bushcraft and team challenges, which kept us busy for the whole day, which I really enjoyed. The following morning, it was a beautiful day, with hardly any wind at all, we took a short bus ride to Douglas, where we spent about an hour looking around the capital. “Hey Mitchell, did you notice that two guys about our same age have jo

Unfortunately, all our classmates would be passing by us as they headed to their seats further back, and we received some very unusual looks from them, which made me a little concerned about this, so I made a decision. Once all the passengers were onboard, I asked the steward if I could briefly speak to our group before we departed, and she agreed to this, so I walked through Premium Economy, stopping at the last aisle there, and faced my classmates. Speaking in Manx, “Fellow students, I we

The overnight stay of the two families was a big hit which included an early morning short sail down the coast to Port St Mary, where the yacht is based, which the lad’s parents enjoyed very much. Sadly my time back home had come to an end, and it was time for me to return to Tasmania, to complete my final two terms at my primary school in Kingston, but I was also looking forward to seeing my mates again and looking forward to the upcoming school trip in early December. “Did you do anything

Keep guessing, you are sort of on the right track with first one, but think more of “The Donut”, but dont say anything if you get the clue.

“Yes hello, we have met before but it was sometime back when the boys were in preschool, I had to do preschool delivery and pickup runs often, when my wife was away at university, and also at the yacht club a few times too,” Dr Crebbin responded, “Yes, of course, and yes I do dine there on occasions, just for a bit of variety,” Dad responded, hoping that this big clue on where we are going wasn’t going to spoil the surprise. “Do you sail much?” Dr Crebbin asked Dad, “Only on the rare occasi

It was an amazing journey, although at some points the sea got a little bit too choppy, which made it a little uncomfortable for Aunt Sophia, but after a short sleep, she was fine again. We stayed overnight in Monte Carlo Bay before we boarded a train in the late morning to go to Genoa, Italy, which would take three hours to travel, after a good look around the city, we boarded another train north to Milan, which would take 90 minutes, and from there we said farewell to Italy as we boarded

I have had a very unusual life, which started from the moment I was born and named Sebastian Mitchell Amos Grantly in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, UK. Things dramatically changed when just before Christmas and at nearly six years old, my mother and I flew to Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, where my name officially became Mitchell Amos Grant, at first, I had no idea why. Mum and I moved into a 4-bedroom, study & 2-bathroom house located on 5.73 acres of land, in the locality of Howden, whi
