John Wayne looked at Diana Maitland when she saw his boat anchored offshore; it was a 37-foot wooden cabin cruiser painted white with teak decking, shiny chrome rails and a covered flying bridge. She smiled and looked up at him and she seemed happier and more excited than she had been when he'd brought her here to his friend's beach house. She asked him exci...
"Thank you so much for letting me come with you, Uncle Joe!" Gabby squealed, giving a small bounce on her toes. "Well you're not leaving me much of a choice!" Joe grumbled back at his best friend's daughter. Joe and Mark, Gabby's father, go back to before Mark and Sally got married. That and all the time Joe spent with the kids as they grew up earned him th...
I heard the old saying "Red sky in morning - sailor take warning, red sky at night - sailor's delight," but I never really paid much attention to it. The sky looked fine, in fact I remember gazing out at the sunset after I had finished getting my boat into the water and tied up at the dock. I pulled the truck and trailer up into my parking place and then loo...
KJ The first fishing trip of the season finally arrived. The boys were packed and on their way and not a minute too soon. Katherine smiled and waved as her husband and son pulled away, closed the door and sighed in relief. She did enjoy a few days of solace to herself to do as she pleased and enjoy a break from the monotony of everyday living. Unencumbered...
My girlfriends and I decided to get away for a long relaxing weekend in Acapulco. The first night we got there was a blast - we drank, flirted with the locals and other tourists, and danced the night away. During the course of the evening a gorgeous blond caught my attention. She was tall with long straight hair, hot body, a sensual mouth, and made me instan...
The nice thing about working from home is that, depending on what you do, you have time to do other things. Got to like that flex time. My girlfriend, who was 46, had a full time office job and was up and gone early. It was Thursday. I rolled out of bed later. Grabbed some orange juice and worked on my office stuff. I needed to finish painting the laundry...
I could feel her staring at me. She sat at the end of my driveway watching me untangle the jumbled mess of my fishing poles as I stood in my garage. She was cute as a button. Blonde hair in pigtails, sitting on her barbie doll bike with the training wheels keeping her upright. Her name is Elsie and I think she is four years old. But it was the first week of...
Chapter 3: Kaye .. .. Another V S L F? Part 3 Andrew appreciated his retirement -- and freedom from the home repair shop he had owned for many years. Fishing, golf, and vacations were much more enjoyable. But he also discovered, early in his retirement, that he wanted something else to do -- when he wanted to do it.

So what WAS the moral of the story? He suggested several possibilities: --Don't be a heavy drinker. --Heredity outweighs everything else. --You can't trust anyone, even members of your family. --Stamina is very important. I don't know which of these is right, or whether any of them is the best. I came up with another one on my own. Let me tell you the s...
I was intent on casting my line that I didn't immediately look up when I heard a couple of my young fishing companions exclaim 'wow look at the rack on that.' When I looked up I was rather surprised to see that my wife Carole, had taken off her tee shirt and her large pendulous breasts were dangling free as she brought me a cold beer and some sun cream. I...
