e. While we were discussing where to head for, we realised, to our horror, that the wind was blowing and the sea was getting quite rough.
Our first fishing trip of the summer was a memorable affair. My brother Peter and I got up at dawn and packed our fishing equipment. (1) .... . We knew that we wouldn't be able to go back in again until the evening high-tide, so we had prepared a picnic and taken some bottles of drink.
(2) .... . We were beginning to get bored, things started to move a bit further out to sea. That was when things started to go wrong. As we were getting the lines ready again, Peter stood on a fishing hook and got it stuck in his foot. When he sat down with a bump, the boat started to rock violently and the picnic basket fell overboard. Peter asked me to get the hook out of his foot, so I fiddled with it in vain until he cried out to me to stop because of the pain. Poor Peter was very shaken and he lay on his back in the bottom of the boat until he felt better.
We didn't feel very much like fishing any more, so we decided to go back to the beach. I started the engine, but I found out we had run out of petrol. Peter opened the storage chest to get out the spare petrol can we always take with us. He looked puzzled for a moment, then he looked alarmed. (3) .... . We had no choice but to row back, and that would take us hours.
(4) .... . We felt really worried when we discovered that the life-jackets weren't on the boat either. We rowed towards the nearest beach, but after about twenty minutes we still didn't seem to be getting any closer.
Just as we were getting frightened, a fishing boat appeared round the point. (5) .... . The people on the boat saw us, and as soon as it was close enough, the fishermen threw us a rope and towed us back to the harbour. We were so relieved that we just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
