" Drake sailed back to Plymouth in 1581,after his three-year journey round the world,but we were still in Stratford.
And so,on the nineteenth of December 1689-after twen-ty-seven years,two months and nineteen days-I said good-bye to my island and sailed home to England.
Quickly,I put my little boat in the water and sailed out to it.
This went on for about two hours,and then they got into their boats and sailed away.
And so we sailed on south for some days.
