ISLANDS ALONG THE WAY #6

Islands along the way---Islands of the Coral Sea

 

MINE-- Yes, she is mine.  She is my first mate, my friend and her name is really Charlotte.

 

Below and to the right of Charlotte  is Scheherazade,

our boat.

Next are islands of the Coral sea.

We will visit some of these uninhabited islands ,

have fun, restock supplies, replenish our water,

and who knows we may call one of them home.

 

VANUATU

When we last were here we were on our way to

Vanuatu, but when you have a boat as nice as

ours, we may as well travel.

 

ISLAND OF DESIRE

This island is in the Coral sea and we will stop

there, but right now, well you remember our last stop.  We had just left Fatu Hiva when Charlotte

fell over-board.  She managed to get back aboard

with a little help from me and, well when she fell

so did I .  I probably fell harder, she just fell in the water, but I fell for her.

 

THE TRIP

When she was dry and rested we decided to just

take a vacation.  Charlotte`s safety, comfort and our

friendship had just become more important than

the trip we had originally scheduled.

So, there you have it.

 

Charlotte is terribly beautiful, but she does`nt know it.

She embarrasses easily, she is a  little shy and the

reason I tell you this is to explain.

This is not a sexual excursion.  I would kill before I would have her humiliated.

 

We have full tanks and fully provisioned.  We have set our GPS for Willis Islet.  We will probably wander

a bit and see a great deal of the South Pacific beforewe get near Willis.

 

I have rummaged about and found some of my things

from the old days.  My loin cloth and Bowie knife.

Putting them on is a reminder that we are in the vicinity

of the equator, also a reminder that danger always exists.

Charlotte blushes acutely when I come on deck in the loin

cloth, but in a couple days of this heat she may join me.

 

 

Charlotte has something on the stove that smells delicious

and I am starved.  Scheherazade is settling in to the

swells , bow pointed toward the big red sun sinking in to the ocean. 

An adventure is forming in my mind, perhaps in Charlotte`s as

well------ As I sit on the fan tail thinking of this story, Charlotte

surprises me by tiptoeing up behind me and putting a

big wet kiss on my ear, then in a whisper----" Your dinner

is ready , Sweetheart ."    That is the story for right  now----------------------------------------------------------
