Have you found the fallen down palm tree yet? It is near that chef guy.

once you have, you need to press on 'make boat' and then u have to make a list on what
tools u need from that.

Then u need to goto the crafting table and make the tools to craft the canno. This takes a
few days, and is very tireing for ur sim. Make sure you go to rest when u get tired, or
the monkey will steal ur stuff when u faint...

Hope this helps.
let me know how u go!!

Yes I have found the fallen tree but all I can do is examine it. Do I need to have certain
tools before I can "make boat?"

Yes you do! You need a "Crowbar"!

no U Dnt Need A CrowBar!
