What do the sailors do in their spare time? Have you seen any Sun Fish yet? What is the favourite breakfast cereal on board? Can my dad get bacon and eggs every day if he doesn’t want cereal? Have you seen a Great White Shark yet? Have you seen an Angler Fish yet? How much gas have you used so far? How big were the waves when you were close to the Typhoon?
