Shorthand, text and notes for Youtubes On this page: ==================== Joe and his boat seem to make regular appearances in the first chapter of Pitman’s instruction books, and it has taken some digging to find out what he gets up to outside of those exercises. Fortunately his activities involve only plain strokes, basic vowels/diphthongs, circles and loops - no hooks, halving or doubling, so this is aimed at the early beginner.
Joe had a boat. It was a small sailing boat which he used on his time off. Joe paid a big sum of money for it but he was happy to pay the cost, as he got it in a sale. Last Saturday Joe took his boat on the sea and sailed to the pier and back. On Sunday Joe put his things in the boat - several bags, a picnic box and loads of food for a jolly beach party. He and his family all sailed to Sandy Bay, which is just a small village four miles away. The sun stayed out all day and they sailed back at six. On Monday Joe took the bus to the bay to get on his boat and check the safety of the ropes because a big storm was going to come soon.
But - oh no! - the boat was missing! Joe looked sadly at the empty quayside. The sea was still calm and Joe saw no storm in the sky. He had to sit for a time to think of a reason, so he can get his boat back. On the pier he saw Jay and Julie and they said to him, “We saw Danny move your boat to the boat shed by the jetty, because of the storm forecast. But the storm has missed us and passed far out to sea. So we have had no damage to our stuff.” It was a big relief for Joe and he said, “I will ask Danny by text message to see me in The King’s Head pub for a nice lunch, as a thank-you for saving my boat. We can have a meal of cod, chips and beer, and some slices of delicious vanilla sponge cake." (295 words) Fully vocalised:
