Waka from long ago

We were learning about our place and about our waka.
I found it easy to finish some of it in time.
I found it hard to find out what to do for it.
I really enjoyed writing about it.
Next time I need to work on finishing all of it.

Diary Entry - July 6th 1718
Voyaging to Tairawhiti 
Years from long ago in the 1718 there was a waka about to travel away from hawaiki to Gisborne/Tairawhiti  on July the 6th  do you have all of the Vegetables and all the Meat yup what about the  Coconuts yes chef. It was time the trib had to go and say goodbye. goodbye goodbye as we all said we will see you again I hope. The trib hopped on to the boat goodbye. A few hours later the sea started to get rougher rougher  it feels like there is a storm coming towards us so quickly put the huts up so some of us can get some shorter hurry so they can hope in can I swap over from rowing me to please chef so we can have a sit down pull the sails chef said. Night and days went past colder and colder  it got threw the night and some of the were getting sea sick later on the 6th of August  the chef said I see land  sail sail were here we finally  made it i’m calling it Tairawhiti.
