You have to look through the telescope on top of the lighthouse to see where you are racing to, which is the island with the seals and the seesaw rock.
You get the keys from the lobster guy. Then you ride. Jump when necessary to reach the island. Be faster than Nate!!
you get the keys
Look through the telescope on top of the lighthouse to see where you are going : the seal rock has a map under it. Race Nate to the island to get the map.
if you don't get the keys you can't beat nate to get the map for the school.
You don't just get the keys after you get the lobster and the scuba gear then the guy that wants it will give you the keys.
You go to the harbour and click on the jet skies. after that you will compete with Nate to the island with the map.
There are no seagulls to ride on (as of yet) on a Poptropica island. Gulls appear on Big Nate Island, Ghost Story Island, and Wimpy Boardwalk.
you already get them when you get the lobster from the fisher man who needed the crab cage.
You don't use the boat on Big Nate island. When you have recovered Cap'n Salty's lost lobster trap, he will give you the keys to his jet ski. Look through the telescope atop the lighthouse to see where you are headed. You also have to outrace Nate.
You do not play as Big Nate. He accompanies you around most of the island, and races you on the jet skis.
You can't play "as" Nate, but everywhere you go on the island, he tags along.
There is no Duke among the characters of Big Nate island.
