I Wrote This song: Islands last year when I came back from the boat. This is a live performance from a cafe where I was playing.

_{All photos belong to my family. Mostly my mom @byn and were taken by her or my brother @knightengale (who took the underwater photos of the dolphins with me)}

So right after my 15th birthday, we moved onto a sailboat where we lived until a few months after my 16th birthday.

I taught myself the ukulele and the guitar while I was on the boat and wrote some songs as well.

I got to swim with dolphins several times while we were in Georgetown Bahamas (we sailed along Florida and over to the Bahamas and then to Turks & Caicos and to the Dominican Republic.) Those are my feet in the photo! That's how close we were to the dolphins.

This was from the very first time we swam with dolphins. They circled around us, showing off and playing for almost an HOUR!!! We got to swim with dolphins quite a few times and they were so friendly. They also swam around our boat sometimes when I played my guitar or ukulele on the deck. <3

I got to perform several times at different resorts in the Bahamas, which was pretty cool.

My brother and I practiced silks on the boat whenever we had a day with no wind, otherwise I spent my time playing instruments, swimming, windsurfing, kayaking or just reading.
