Renowned explorer Donkey Burrows discovers new island off California coast. The fearless explorer braved treacherous seas in a 17ft research vessel to discover what he believed to be a new island about 18 miles off the heavily populated area of Southern California. You may be asking yourself, "how could this island go undiscovered for so many years?" As you may or may not be aware,Oxnard, donkey's hometown and closest town to the island is under a constant shroud of fog. Donkey happened to be on the beach, as he is an avid shell and driftwood collector, just as the fog, for a brief moment, lifted. Donkey remembers seeing something that resembled an island. He immediately put together his research team and set off on the great adventure. After a brutal and death defying crossing, in 4-6 foot seas, we came upon this jewel of an island. The whole time little donkey held on to the roof of the boat for dear life and thank god he did. As the captain of the research vessel, Fair Dinkum, I don't know what we would have done had Donkey not been up on that roof telling me where to go and what to do. We may still be lost at sea. Sure I have radar and GPS, but if there is one thing donkey has taught me - there is no substitute for a pair of good eyes.
Upon arrival we discovered a magical place stuck in time. I am pretty sure once we go on land we will discover that giraffes, elephants, and maybe even some dinosaurs still run wild on that island. As it turns out Donkey had to be back to work by four, thus, our exploration was cut short. Our next adventure will be a safari into the island. To conduct the exploration of the island, Donkey and I have enlisted the help of renowned zoologist Drew Weilbacher. He is not only a zoologist, but also a big game hunter. Thus, if we run into any trouble we will have no need to worry. I have already contacted National Geographic Society and the Monterey Aquarium about some funding for the expedition, if you know of any other interested parties please don't hesitate to contact me.
