My raft design

Today I have been drawing a raft with Google Drawing. I have been using shapes to make my raft. I used rectangles, logs and a circle.  I searched the ocean to find a picture for the background.  I think my raft design will float in water and it was easy to create my raft.  I have been on a raft down the creek, we made ours with strong ropes and bamboo sticks and we put some barrels underneath.  My Dad and brothers helped me make it.
