Morning- This is Cpt. Kalil Frena. I am shipwrecked on a deserted island in the Pacific
Ocean. My ship was struck by lightning and the mast was broken. I was with four survivors in
the ocean, but now I am alone. I have been surviving off fish caught out of the ocean. I am
writing these journals and will send them out to sea hoping that someone will read them and
rescue me.
Midday- Hello this is Cpt. Kalil Frena. As I said earlier I am shipwrecked on a deserted
island in the Pacific Ocean. I have been here since I woke up on shore at dawn. I have since
gathered food and built a small lean-to shelter. I have been working on fire for two hours with no
success. I have seen predators on land and in the water such as panthers and sharks. I feel this
island is full of life. I have just made a fire and I am feeding it with a sticks. I have been eating
Sunset- It is almost dark outside. The smoke from the fire seems to rid away most of the
bugs. I made a torch to travel at night. I am about to enter my second day of being shipwrecked
on this island. I feel something or someone will help me get off of this island. I made a regular
and 2-split spear to hunt with. This is Cpt. Kalil Frena signing off for day 1.

Morning- Hello, this is Cpt. Kalil Frena. I have been shipwrecked on a deserted island in
the pacific for a day. I caught nine fish for today. I am going to check for edible plants. I have
seen coconuts, but they are too high up. I have found a flowing river to provide water for now. I
made a few adjustments to my shelter, I put weaved walls and a door around it. This is supposed
Midday- This is Cpt. Kalil Frena, My ship was sunk by lightning. I still havent seen any
of the other survivors. I took a walk around the shore and found four cans, a hat, rope, and a dead
animal. I fixed my shelter with the rope. I washed the cans, filled them with water, and put them
in the sun to kill bacteria. I use the hat backwards to shade my neck. Im thinking about going
out daily and looking for items. I caught a crab for supper tonight. I saw a couple of beehives
Sunset- I am watching the beautiful sunset. I had the crab I caught today, it was one of
the greatest thing I ate. I also found some wild berries that were safe to eat. I took my shirt off
today when I was going to bath and noticed I have bruises everywhere, I have cuts on my back
and sides, and I have a popped blood vessel on my toe. I dont know why I didnt feel any of
these injuries, but I guess thats a good thing. I kept the door open earlier to get the smoke smell
Midnight- I was awoken by a strange sound. I thought it was a big bug. I heard a small
buzzing noise that kept getting louder and louder. I went outside and checked the shore and sky. I
saw a blinking red light in the sky. IT WAS A PLANE! I ran out to the shore with my torch. The
sound was getting louder still. It was the only sound I could hear. I waved my torch in the air and
placed it in the ground. Then the sound started getting faint until I could hear it no more. That
Morning- I woke up in the morning very tired and sluggish. I was up until 4:00 a.m.
thinking about getting off this island and starting a family. Also about what my friends are doing,
what they are thinking. I feel I am starting to get into a schedule on this island. This island is
starting to come alive in my eyes. This is the time of my life when I am regretting not having
many loved ones to care or worry about me. I think I am going to have a look around this island
again.
Midday- I got luckier today on my search. I found a rag and a small half full bottle of
soap, a big piece of salt water dried driftwood (entertainment tonight), a sharp piece of metal, 6
bird eggs, and a plastic water bottle. I am going to have a nice wash tonight, watch the blue-
green flames of the driftwood, make a better spear, eat some eggs, and drink some water out of a
bottle. I caught 6 fish and speared a sitting bird to go with my eggs tonight for supper.
Sunset- I watched the sunset and felt bummed out about the plane situation again. I am
going to go to bed early. This is Cpt. Kalil Frena signing off on day 3.
