I always thought it was unsafe, too. Wasn't it Sam, though? I like when Dawn or whoever it was said, "Well. He didn't inspect the island thoroughly at all." Yet he had time to b*tch at Mallory that she was taking too long tending to her bug bites and to make a smarmy remark to Stacey before he left.
It cracked me up when Dawn was like "You know, the temperature drops when there's a ghost hanging around" and Kristy came back with "UM, the temperature also drops when you're out on an island in the middle of the night!"

I don't know anything about speed boats and I'm know there are different kinds but did it strike anyone else as odd that both the Faith Pierson and the other boat they borrowed looked the way they did? In the Illustrations there is a two seater in the front and like a three seater in the back and the middle is closed off. I understand that the motor could potentially be in there, but It would've made much more sense to just have it be a normal open boat. They would've have to mess with borrowing a boat or anything and that could've been space well spent on developing the storyline some more.

Edit: WTF is up with the bedrooms in this cabin?! They have like 90 bunkbeds in each one... why on EARTH did Watson's aunt/uncle (right?) put bunkbeds in like that? Who were they having over all the time? Yeah, it was a freakin lodge. How convenient for their nephew to bring his entire family and all of their friends. I bet they had so much use for the 30 extra beds. In reality, they'd all be roughing it on the floor with one bathroom between everyone.

I loved that Mallory was annoyed that the boys each got a whole bunk to themselves while the girls used all but like one bed in their room. Shut up Mal. Like ktag said, she should be on the floor or, you know, at home where she belongs. Wasn't Emily Michelle in the girls room too? I'm sure she was cause Watson and Elizabeth were exactly the type to stick their two year old in a room with 10 other girls.

YES, I have always thought those boats looked weird!! I don't know anything about boats either, though, so I figured maybe it was normal? But really...they seemed so tiny and wimpy and from looking at the picture you expect to see the girls rowing around in a circle in the shallow end of the lake or something. And seriously, LOL at the bedrooms in the cabin. Why did that never strike me as odd before?! They were even described as "dorms". Yeah, dorms in a cabin at the lake. What the eff.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Emily was in the girls cabin. Didn't she wake the girls up one morning? Or maybe that was Karen.

The boats looked like toys. In one illustration Jessi and Mal are leaning so far over the edge they were likely to fall in the water. (And be captured by Nessie...cue Dawn with her blood-curdling scream!)
I think Karen did wake them all up because she thought she'd seen a spider. Andrew also wakes the boys up in their cabin, because he is singing a song early one morning that goes something like "Doop de doop, gummity gummity woop." OMG, that cracks me up everytime. Obviously picked it up from Karen.

Yeah, Emily Michelle was in the girls' cabin. One of the narrators was saying that EM had to have a bottom bunk, but there were still enough bottom bunks for narrator to have one too. I never thought the dorms/EM-in-girls-cabin was strange until I read this thread! Oops.

For your enjoyment, I shall post some of the "Gummity Woop Song" passage, which is in Sam's chapter:
At first he thinks it must be Karen, but then he discovers it's Andrew:

Is 9:30 really considered "sleeping in" for a teenage boy? When I think of really sleeping in, I think of 11 or noon! I myself can only go until about 8am or 9am, but only because I'm used to getting up before 6 for work.

I myself can only go until about 8am or 9am, but only because I'm used to getting up before 6 for work. I thought that too, most teenage boys I know sleep in until noon or later. For me, sleeping in until 9 am is a luxary, being the fact that I have to get up at 5 for work.

The BSCers are always bounding out of bed at like, 8am. They usually roll over, note the time, then jump out of bed to begin another BSC project at 10am. I remember my days of sleeping til 1 in the afternoon... wouldn't want to go back to that as you end up feeling like you wasted the whole day, but as a teenager? 9:30 was NOT sleeping in. As an old fart, it is now, but back then? No.
