This has been a very quiet week for Julie and I. We've been home every night relaxing and just living the easy life without the kids. Sandra called and wants to get together for the weekend but I tell her that we already had plans, but that we definitely want to get together with them again. Betty and Allen call also inviting us to their beach house for th...
A few months ago, I started working as a deckhand on a small passenger ferry. This ferry brings passengers to and from 2 neighboring islands which are 10 and 20 minutes away from our dock. During my training, I was told there was another skipper who was currently visiting some family in Africa somewhere and would be back in a couple of weeks. I usually show...
Alan was still working contracts as we continued to build our tour business. We had added a fishing trip using an old coast guard boat as a day boat using crew of two. The captain and a guide who helped with tackle and cooked lunch. We could take eight customers but we planned on taking six. The boat has a wheelhouse and a small galley separated by open deck...
I live for feedback We stayed wrapped together until we began to fall asleep. Alex eventually turned over and I spooned up to her back, she pushed back into me, turned her head around and we kissed good night. As I drifted off to sleep I heard her say softly, 'Chan rak kun, James, I love you.' The day dawned as most do in Koh Samui with bright sunshine. A...
The boat was rocking gently in the rolling swells of the sound. It was not a large boat but would sleep 4 in relative comfort. There was a flying bridge, a transom platform from which to go swimming and a large cooler in anticipation of all the fish they were going to catch. They were headed to a favorite fishing spot of Jim's, towing a little punt boat so t...
Autumn had been dating Mike for only a few weeks. It started off innocent enough with a couple of dinner dates, a concert, and just hanging with friends. But things have a habit of getting more serious and she liked him a lot. As spring was about to turn into summer, Mike invited Autumn to go out fishing with him on his boat. They would only be going out in...
The foursome has some unexpected company show up and postpones their fun. "Where are we going, honey?" Janice asked her husband as she and her girlfriend sat on deck soaking up the afternoon sun. "There's a small cove up ahead that looks like a good spot." Ed said as he navigated his small houseboat toward the inlet. "Do you want us to get things ready no...
This happened years ago, about ten years before my wife died and I came to be the dirty old man that I am today.... The boat I had back then was a Kingfisher. They were called coffin boats because they were long, narrow, and deep. It was fifteen feet long, about five wide, and almost three feet deep. There was a pedestal seat in the bow with the outboard mot...
Alexandra is a beautiful young woman, with dark hair, a perfect body, and eyes you could get lost in. We had met each other awhile back, and we seemed to hit it off right away. We had gotten together a few times over the last month for dinner, or coffee, but it never went further. During our last conversation she told me how much she loves boats and being ne...
While shopping for a boat we saw a listing on CL for a 40' older Chris Craft, so Sunday we decided to go take a look, it was a 45 minute drive to the marina, my wife was wearing a short white pleated tennis skirt and the matching polo top with no bra, sneekers and a visor completed the casual look, when she was in the I car I noticed she had on sheer white p...
