Day 7: Adventures on the High Seas

After discovering many wonderful sights while lost, and now armed with a compass, I decided I would set sail to try discover more interesting places and cool items.  I started out by sailing along the coast to the left of my cavern home, and almost immediately ran into a problem, or more accurately, a sandbank.  How silly of my to forget.  Well, there's nothing to do but accidentally ram my boat into the sand, walk across, and build a new one.

I was soon back on the water, and soon realized the land I was passing looked familiar - this was where I was when I was lost!


This was great news, but quite puzzling, since I had sailed in a completely different direction before.  Oh well. I soon discovered something even better - the last shelter I had made before I died while lost!  Amazingly, all my items were still inside, and I was able to get a lot of cool stuff I had given up as lost back.



Night was falling though, so I swiftly stepped inside the ready-made shelter and clicked on the bed to sleep through the night.

Oh, wait.  This shelter killed me last time.  Oops, too late.

Next morning, I started out to get all of my stuff back, and after several tries, and many days, I reached that vile cobblestone structure and tore it apart, brick by brick.  I then sailed back home with the cobblestone and threw it into my lava, destroying it with permanentness.  Take that!

While I was trying to get back to my rediscovered spot, I ended up digging a canal through the sandbank:

I added the water later.
That business out of the way, I headed back on the water to try and find the cool waterfalls I had seen while I was lost.  I spent the night in a dirt and sand shelter, with some friendly pigs to keep me company.  It was a lot of fun, until, as dawn was breaking, two creepers blew up right next to me, killed my pig friends, and leveled my shelter.



After respawning and traveling the distance (again) I gathered up my scattered belongings and turned towards the sea...
