so he gave it to me.

It was where I actually learned

sailing with my dog, Spot,

which was an excellent crew.

When I was about 10 years,

I got a Hurley 700,

a nice seven-meter

seaworthy boat.

Of course, I needed to

get a job to pay for it,

so I brought newspapers

around, I cleaned shops.

I did practically anything

that got me money.

I sailed every day and always

on the summer vacations I would

cruise through whole Holland.

Then when I was thirteen,

I actually sailed

to England alone.

And when I had done that,

I was sure that I wanted

to sail around the world.

I wanted to see

the south horizon.

Land.

After 17 days, I'm seeing land.

There.

I'm starting to slowly

get really hyper.

It's going to be difficult

to walk normally.

I think I'll get seasick

or something when I get

back on land.

Such a strange thought...

to see people again.

It's just... pretty cool.

You can't shoot fish

with a slingshot!

So close, mom!

It's clear you guys

have a screw loose.

My mom and my sister were

finally able to visit me,

which was awesome

because they were on vacation

when I left, so they didn't even

wave me out when I was leaving

on my big trip,

which I was really sad about.

So, it was really cool

to see them again.

Come on, you can try

it now, Laura.

No, I'm not doing it!

Why not?

You don't have to shoot fish.

Okay, I have a weird family,

I know.

I thought I was weird

but I believe

I'm the most normal one here.

I'm just having fun,

not shooting any fish.

You're wasting rocks.

Doesn't matter,

I have plenty of rocks.

Do you think that the Indians

shot arrows at trees?

That they would just

waste arrows?

They didn't do that now,

did they?

Yes, but I am.

Yeah, but you're nuts.

Well yeah, if not I

wouldn't have a daughter

sailing around the world.

That doesn't happen

with normal parents.

Yes indeed.

So, I was 10 years old,

I don't have too much

memories of my mom.

After my parents divorced,

she lived somewhere else.

I tried to visit her every

weekend, but I had a feeling

that there was too much things

going on in my mom's life,

and I was too much

to handle for her.

My mom, though, seems to care

a lot about me now,

and we write each other

a lot more than before.

So that's good.

Since I'm really young, I've

had a really good relationship

with my sister.

She grew up with my mom,

so we're separated

for most of our lives.

But, we always got along

pretty good.

She's totally crazy and

really funny and really cool.

Yes, we're happily walking

through the woods

and acting a bit weird.

And this is a tree!

Open up the doors, Frankenstein

What you see here

is my second attempt

at making popcorn in my life.
