First time for the practice. Don't really know how to do this. Still glad to join as I am not always a persistent person. Day ONE here!

Speed: 3'06,3'00,2'50,2'25,2'09
Obstacle:4'56
Some Separatists? were limited by the British government about their own religion. So they went to Holland, but the regulations there forced them to do low-paid job and so they decided to move again. They went back to England and got the king's authority and to organize more people. At first there were two ships, but with one kept leaking , they had to went back, and Mayflower began sailing alone. It was duiring the storm season, so it was not a pleasent voyage. When they reached by land, it was actually not the place they intended to go, so some of them signed a compact to build knew homeland there and it was still under charge of the king.
The first winter was tough,many died, others survived only because of the help from local people. They celebrated their first harvest and that was the first thanksgiving.
