Book Two
Chapter 2
Having Jason as Comptroller of the Family Corporation was the best decision I had ever made. We had long conversations about the Family Corporation and how everything was working. I was still leery of the huge debt load we had, but everything was actually in the black, at least those hotels and resorts that were operating. The acquisition of Sydney Ships was the best of those investments.
I made two changes with the permission of Credit Swiss. They would be announced at the Family meeting the next day.
After spending three hours with Jason, I told him not to spend all his time on the books and enjoy. I left to get some lunch.
I met up with Jake after lunch and we drove to the small forge to see about a couple of ships bells. Both were polished brass. The one for Sandpiper 2 slightly bigger than the one for Sandpiper. Both were being engraved with Sandpiper, Southampton England and Sandpiper 2 with Sydney, Australia.
Jake had joked I could have got them forged out of solid gold, but I said they wouldn't ring right. We had a good laugh. I actually could have got them forged out of solid gold, but figured that would be just too much and too much of draw for thieves.
After getting back we decided on our next destination. South to Tongo and Niue. From there we could decide on either the Cook Islands or head for Samoa.
The long trip would be to the Cook Islands.
It appeared like most of the crew was on the terrace or in one of the many pools. I figured I would join them, so headed up to my suite to change. I was super surprised to find Siam all alone in the suite.
"Everything okay Love?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to be alone."
"Well after I change I'll leave you to it love."
"But I want to be alone with you Ed. We never get to do anything just us. Someone always comes. Can we go someplace just the two of us?"
"That we can. Why don't you grab the cold pack and go down and fill it with cold beer. I'll grab some towels and meet you by the front entrance."
I grabbed a quick shower and slipped on shorts, without underwear. I didn't figure I would have them on for long. Shoved two big bath towels in a pack along with my satellite phone. Siam was at the front door when I got down to the lobby.
Siam had a good idea. I had wanted to explore along the beach in both directions from the Hotel. We headed out and then past tower two. Then onto a fairly well worn path that lead to the rocky beach. After about 300 yards, I spotted what looked like a flat rock about 30 yards above the path we were on. I carefully made our way up to this rock. It wasn't exactly flat, but did afford us some shade from the sun. It also gave us an unrestricted view in both directions. To the south you could just see the top of tower two and to the North a small town. I figured the path was from employees from the hotel using it to get back and forth to work.
"How's this love? Far enough away?"
"Yup. This is perfect." He giggled.
We laid out the towels and then pulled out a cold beer to enjoy. The only sound was the waves hitting the beach. It really was a peaceful spot. Siam sort of leaned into me.
"I never get to be alone with you Ed. When I was in Thailand if I had a customer, no one ever bothered us. Now when ever we are alone someone always comes. I just needed some time with you."
"From now on love we will make time for just each other."
"So I take it you knew Allan."
"Oh yeah. McTavish has an agreement with the hotel to let his boys swim. I met him in the pool. He's almost as big as Sal." He laughed.
"Does he taste the same?" I laughed.
"I don't know. I never did anything then and not this morning either. I knew he had applied at the hotel so knew he was probably Gay, but never did anything."
"Can I tell you something? Promise you won't be mad."
"I can never get mad at you love."
"Well I really love my brothers and also Temin, Jer and Rad, but I just wish I only had you. I want you all to myself. I guess it's kind of selfish, but I can't help it Ed."
"Siam, I wish too that things had been different right from the start. I guess I was more infatuated than in love back then. I had very good looking gay boys that were willing to do almost anything to please and I just let it go. If I had felt then what I feel now Siam you would be a lot more than just number one in my life."
"I wish I could back to that point and love just you. You are not selfish Siam, I guess I am more so."
"I was so scared when the police came and took us away. I thought we were going to jail. Then that senior cop comes and says you are going to take us away from the Island. I didn't know what would happen to us then."
"I was even more scared when they finger printed us and took our pictures. I thought you had bought us and was going to take us away to sell."
"Then we come on board and met Samsung. He told us what you were doing, I knew I had found the only man I could ever love."
"Now I really do love you more than I have loved anyone. I just wish we were always like this."
"Well come on love. Time you showed me how much you love me. I want that sweet cock of yours inside me."
I think we both lost a gallon of sweat before the afternoon was over. Siam had me first followed by me inside him. We rimmed each other and started again. We were totally exhausted by the end of the afternoon. I could have gone to sleep right there under the stars, but knew if I didn't show my face people especially my boys would get worried. Well after 5 pm we almost staggered back to the hotel.
A cool shower together and an even colder beer fixed us right up.
We both headed down to the Terrace. Dinner outside was the order of the day. As soon as we sat down Jimmy ran up to us.
I ordered a scotch and a menu.
Siam ordered a scotch too. This might be interesting, I doubted Siam had ever drank scotch before. Jimmy ran off to fill our orders.
It looked like both crews were in the pools and pretty much paired off. I saw Temin and Rad together in a rather close lip lock in one of the pools. I also saw Jer and Allan together. It looked like Allan would fit right in. Was it a coincident that Temin and Rad were together. They seemed to spend a lot of time together lately.
My thoughts were interrupted when an older man walked up to our table.
"You're Ed Somers, owner of the hotel. I'm Hank Snowdon."
The name rang a bell but I couldn't place him.
"I'll be honest, I was a little leery when we checked in and found out this was an exclusive Gay Hotel and Resort."
"Well that change only came about recently and we will always honor previous reservations. I hope everything has been okay."
"More than okay. My wife and I came here to golf and have had a real good time. I was worried about what might happen with bringing my two sons' here. Playing around a pool full of Gay young men worried me a lot. But I have northing but praise for how things turned out and both my boys love it here."
"Well you are welcome back anytime you like. Although the hotel and resort advertises as a Gay resort we do accept reservations from anyone."
I was only half paying attention to Hank, I had been watching two young men walk across the Terrace. They looked like identical twins, only different in the Speedos they had on. One in blue and the other red. Both boys filled out those Speedos. The made an abrupt turn and walked to my table.
"So finally wore yourselves out eh." Hank said to them.
"Not even close Dad. This place is great. One of the guys even taught us how to improve our diving."
"James, Edward, this is Ed Somers, the owner of the hotel and Sandpiper."
"Ed, these are my two brats."
Jimmy came back and set down our drinks and a menu.
"Would you like to join us here? I said.
"Jimmy grab a couple of towels for the boys and what ever they want to drink."
Jimmy took the order from the boys and Hank and disappeared again.
"Boy the service here is great. You just have to sit down and they ask you what you want." James said.
Another boy helped Jimmy put two tables together. His name was Hiro and I surmised he was the room attendant for Hank and his family. Both boys knew him by name.
Hank ordered steak, the boys cheese burgers and Siam and I had a seafood platter. Siam also ordered a beer, The scotch he couldn't handle and gave his to me.
The two young men talked continuously almost not letting anyone get a word in at all. I found it refreshing. Siam looked at me a couple of times with a sly smile. I knew most of my young men had better Gaydar than I did, but just wasn't sure about those two young men. Both were seventeen and I figured both at least partially sexually active, but Gay, I just wasn't sure.
Near the end of the dinner James asked his dad.
"Dad!" James said.
Hank looked at James and then Edward.
"When you two look at me like that I know you want something. Well out with it."
"Well Mr. Somers crews are having a beach party at Nester Bay tonight. He has his crew from Sandpiper 2 in from Sydney along with the crew from Sandpiper. Can we go?"
I knew about the party and would go. I also knew beer would be flowing freely and it would probably turn into one huge orgy later. I didn't say anything.
"What did your mother say when you asked her? Hank asked.
"Well we knew what she would say so didn't ask." "So you want me to take all the blame. What do you think Ed?"
"I'll be honest. There will be a lot of beer drank at that party. I doubt there will be much else there. Other than that they would be okay. My crews are very careful that way."
"Well your word is good enough for me Ed. It would not be the first time they came home loaded and usually regret it the next day. So if you boys want to go it's okay with me. Just don't tell your mother. I'll never hear the end of it."
Both hugged their father and thanked him. When I looked at Hiro, Jimmy and Siam, all three had big grins on their faces. Maybe I was wrong about both boys.
Siam and both boys took off to change. Hank and I sat and talked. It finally dawned on me who Hank Snowdon was. His company Snowdon Fisheries was the company Sidney ships was building fishing boats for. Snowdon Fisheries was the largest Fishery on the East coast of Australia.
WE parted company about 7.
Nester Bay wasn't really a bay. It was just a spit of land sticking out into the Pacific. The land around it had been owned by a man named Nester about a hundred years ago. The name had stuck with it. You couldn't even find it on any map. The rocks went out about 300 yards. The beach was just a hundred long stretch of Black Sand about 30 yards wide. It was also about three miles along the coast from the hotel. Not walking distance.
I knew that the Jeeps owned by the hotel were very seldom used at night and most of those were commandeered to get people to the beach. I took Jake, Siam and James and Edward in my Jeep. I knew there would be near 50 people at this party. I was sure all the room attendants had been invited along with the crews and a few others. I had left the organization for the party up to Jason when it had been suggested.
There were a couple of things I didn't know about Nester Bay. It was on the edge of a large National Park and was popular in the winter months for the surf. Now it was almost not used. The small parking area above the beach looked like a used Jeep dealer's lot. There had to be 20 vehicles there and not all Jeeps.
Getting to the beach was another experience. I'd hate to have to climb back up loaded. They must have worked a couple of days to get the wood for the fire. There wasn't much driftwood on Fiji.
The sun was still up and most of the crews were either in the water or sitting around on the beach drinking. About half were nude.
Both boys were agog at all the bare bottoms and swinging cocks. Siam and Jake took off leaving the two with me. I walked to a cooler and pulled out three beers. I handed one to each of the boys and then led them back near the rocks. Both were trying to cover their hard or semi hard cocks. I almost laughed.
They sat down close to me.
"Look guys. I think you need to be honest with me. Are you both Gay?"
"Yes." James said.
"Does your Father know?"
"Well we think he suspects, but hasn't said anything. We're scared coz Mom will go nuts if we come out."
"How can they just walk around like that? Most of them aren't even hard."
"Well they are used to being nude around each other. Sandpiper is a clothing optional yacht and most wear nothing when we are at sea."
"Look boys, no one is going to do anything unless you ask. I'd suggest you undress here by the rocks and remember where you left your clothes."
Neither boy moved, so I stood up, kicked off my deck shoes, pulled my T-shirt over my head. Then I just pushed off my board shorts. I folded them and set them on the rocks. Both boys sat with their mouth open.
"Well?" I said.
James took off his runners and pulled his t-shirt off. Then he stood up. His hands were shaking as he reached for the buttons of his board shorts.
"Here, let me James."
He let me undo his shorts and I just let them drop. Damn a nice 6 and half inch uncut cock. I saw he shaved his pubes.
"Damn that's nice James. Do you mind?"
"I guess not." He said.
I think he thought I wanted to grab his cock. Instead I pushed him down on the log we were sitting on, kneeled down and let his cock slide into my mouth.
"Oh God!" He almost screamed.
Perfect to my mind. Thick enough to fit nicely in my mouth and long enough to just slide partly into my throat. I bobbed I think three times when his body stiffened. He didn't warn me that he was coming, not that I cared. Three shots of salty/sweet sperm shot into my mouth. I savored it before I swallowed.
He slumped back and I jacked and licked off the few beads of cumm from the tip of his cock.
"You turn Edward." I said as I moved between his legs.
Edward was a lot more aggressive than James. He used both hands to pull me onto his cock. He didn't last much longer than James and I tasted his almost identical cum as it shot into my mouth. After licking his cock clean I sat back.
"Feeling better guys?"
"Can I suck your cock Ed?" James said.
"Later, you boys can do anything you want. Let's go swimming and cool down."
"Cool." They said together.
Clothing forgotten, we walked down and into the surf. Once in the water they reverted back to just like my crew and enjoyed cavorting and playing in the surf.
I could never keep up with these guys. I must be getting old. Jake and I were the oldest in the crew. Jake at close to forty and me nearing twenty eight. I grabbed a beer from one of the many coolers and sat down above the high water mark. No sooner had I sat down and I had Siam beside me.
"Boy, are those two ever hot and even shave their pubes."
"They taste good too." I laughed.
"You mean you already did them? Boy are you fast." Siam giggled.
"Siam, both boys were scared to death when they saw all the nude guys. They were also very hard. I got them to undress after I did in front of them. To break the ice so to speak, I sucked both off. They were relaxed after that."
"Do you think they like to fuck too?"
"You can be sure they have been doing each other so I'd say yes. Just be careful love. Don't get carried away."
"I promise."
After the sun went down the big fire was lit. It was a huge fire. I sat back on the log where my shorts were. I watched as couples, three somes and even four somes moved into the shadows away from the fire.
The real orgy started then. I made a point of having fun with all those I would miss when they went back. The crew of Sandpiper 2 and Singh and Rami. I also had a few others.
Singh and Rami had barely got out of sight when James sat down on the big blanket I had laid out.
"How are you James?"
"I can't believe how these guys are. Everyone wanted to suck me and I fucked at least four guys that asked me. I think they all would drop at the drop of a hat." He giggled.
"Yeah, I got a real horny crew. They'd be on their backs or knees 24/7 if I let them."
"Can I suck you off Ed? You did say I could earlier or at least hinted I could."
"Sure James and after you can fuck me too."
"Well I kind of wanted you to make love to me."
I was thinking that might not be a good idea. If it ever got back to his Father, I could be in real deep shit. I didn't want to jeopardize my contracts with Snowdon Fisheries.
"I'm not a virgin Ed and I really like it." James said.
"So I guess you and Edward have been doing each other?"
"Well sort of. Edward has never let me fuck him. I'm his bottom."
"How did that come about? Usually twins more or less are equals."
"Well Edward has been doing it a lot longer than me. We went to private school and he did his first boy when he was thirteen. He sort of raped me one night in the dorm when I was fourteen. Since then he does me almost every night."
"Why just sort of James?"
"Well I wanted it and asked him lots of times, but he always said no. Then one night several of the Abo boys at the school got to him and he got raped. When he came back after that he just threw me on the bed and did it. It really hurt at first, but now I really like it."
"From the way he has been acting here he likes it too."
"Well he's kind of crazy now. He is real aggressive even with me. Like he wants to punish everyone that ever did him. He even got in trouble at school. If not for our dad he might have ended up in jail. Instead Dad pulled us from private school. I wish sometimes I could just get away."
He leaned over and took my semi hard cock into his mouth. He let it slide right down his throat. As I hardened he continued to deep throat my cock. This was one very experienced cock sucker. He knew everything to do to bring me up and then let me down before I came. He quite well drove me nuts with his sucking. Finally I could stand it no more and gently held him deep as I unloaded. Swallowing he pulled my cock deeper. As I finished he slowly pulled off, licking and sucking me clean.
"Boy you taste good Ed."
"You do that real well James."
"Will you make love to me now Ed?"
The wanting in his eyes told me he really wanted more than just a fuck.
"Yeah James I will, but I need time to recover."
Before I could even think about what I said I heard a scream. That was followed by a string of swear words even I had never heard before.
"Oh shit. He's done it again." James said.
"Done what?" I said as I got to my feet.
"Tried to do a boy that didn't want him. That's what got him into trouble before."
That appeared to be the case when Rad came sprinting across the sand. He almost leaped into my arms crying. I held him close as his body shuddered.
"You okay Baby?" I said quietly.
"He's just a monster. I said I didn't want to and he hit me."
By now I was close to where the altercation took place. Almost everyone was in a circle. I pushed my way through. Jason and Jerry had Edward held on his knees. That was where the continuous swear words were coming from.
"Shut him up." I said.
The look in Edward's eyes told me he was totally insane. What the fuck do I do now?
"Tell me what happened."
"Edward grabbed Rad and told him to get on his knees coz he wanted to fuck him. Rad said no. Edward hit him and threw him on the sand. As Edward went to enter him, Rad screamed and Jer and Temin pulled him off Rad. He kind of fought with Jer and Temin until Randy grabbed him. He tried to fight Randy, but that's like hitting on a steel door. Then Jason and Jerry grabbed him and put him on his knees."
Just looking at Edward, I knew I could not let him go. The look of pure evil in his eyes told me he would try something again and I was sure no one would be around to stop him.
"Jake. Get dressed, use on of the Jeeps and go pick up Mr. Snowdon. Only Mr. Snowdon and bring him here."
"You sure about that Ed?"
"No I'm not sure. But what I know is I can't let that cocksucker go. Just go get him."
"Aye, aye Sir."
"I better get dressed if my Dad is coming." James said.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him to me.
"Don't bother James."
"But my Dads going to know then."
I walked with James, Rad on my shoulder and Jer and Temin over to my blanket.
"You two okay?"
"Sure Ed. Rad's the one that took the big hit from Edward."
"Well go grab some beer."
"James, your Father is going to know what happened down here. I'm going to tell him what Edward tried to do. He's going to know about you as soon as I do, so why hide it. Don't worry. If he kicks you out, you will have a birth on Sandpiper. That I promise you."
Siam and Aaron came sprinting up the sand. He wrapped his arms around Rad.
"Sorry Ed. We were up in the rocks and didn't hear what happened until we came back. You okay Rad." Aaron said.
I told both a shortened version.
"I'll kill him." Siam said.
That thought was probably on the minds a few of my crew. Everyone was very protective of the others.
Jake honked the horn on the Jeep to let me know he was back. I slipped on a pair of Shorts, Grabbed a couple of beer and went to meet Hank. I took him over by the fire and we sat down. There was no way he could not notice that most of the guys on the beach were nude.
I explained what happened and what I had done.
"That crazy son of a bitch. I just knew I should have let the law handle it the first time, but my wife insisted I cover it up. I just knew it would come back to haunt me."
I then explained what Edward had been doing to James since they were thirteen.
I found out a lot about both boys that even they did not know. Both had been adopted when they were just one year old. Both had been brought up as equals. Both Hank knew were Gay. His wife was in the middle stages of Dementia and Hank had arranged for her to go into a clinic in Fiji. Now Edward would be sent back to Australia and committed for observation.
"Ed, all hells going to break lose when I get back to Australia. Having my wife committed is nothing, but when Edward starts to blab and he will, Sandpiper is surely going to be brought into this. That will probably destroy any chance that James has of living a normal life. Ed, would you consider taking him on Sandpiper. I'd be willing to pay his way. It would get him out of the spot light."
"I don't have a major problem with taking him on as a crew member of Sandpiper, but what about his schooling. He can't just stop going to school."
That brought a laugh from Hank.
"Ed, James has a higher IQ than probably the rest of our family combined. In the Genius area. He completed high school at 15 and is working on his third year in Commerce and Business Management Degrees. As long as he has internet access, he can continue his studies. He been taking it online right from the start."
"Well I guess we have a deal Hank. You don't need to pay for his passage with Sandpiper. I'll take him on as a crew member."
"One last thing. I need to contact the Clinic my wife is going to. They can hold onto Edward until I can arrange to get him back to Australia. Could I ask for your assistance in getting him back to the hotel and held until he can be picked up?"
"I'd like to talk to James."
"Okay, I'll send him over." I handed him my satellite phone.
"James, your father wants to talk to you."
James grabbed for his shorts.
"Don't bother James. It's going to be okay. Trust me Son."
James was almost in tears as he walked over to the fire. I knew everything would be fine when Hank wrapped his arms around James and hugged him. I walked to where Randy and Jason had Edward held.
"Jason, you and Randy get dressed. Put some shorts on Edward and then help Hank get him back to the hotel. You can stay until he is picked up."
"Got it Ed."
I went back and sat down with my four boys. I finished my beer.
"Which one of you brats is going to get me another beer?" It was hardly out of my mouth before Jer was sprinting to one of the coolers.
WE just sat while James and his Dad talked. At one point James got up and went to a cooler to get two more beer. We watched his cock bounce up and down as he ran back.
"Boy is he ever hot." Rad said.
"You mean you boys haven't done anything with him yet. I am surprised."
"Well he's been pretty busy." Siam giggled.
"Well I'm sure you will have plenty of time in the future."
I got up as Hank and James walked over to us.
"Thank you Ed. Thank you for every thing." Hank said as we shook hands.
"Your very welcome Hank and good luck with everything."
James in two strides was hugging me.
"Thank you, thank you. You have made my dream come true."
"Well it's not going to be a free passage James. You will be working."
"What do you mean Ed?" Siam asked.
"Didn't I tell you? James is joining Sandpiper as a crewman."
"WHAT! Oh wow. That's so cool." Instantly all four were around James congratulating him. I just chuckled and walked to where Jason and Randy had Edward.
"You really put your foot in it this time Son." Hank said to Edward.
"I'm going to kill you." Edward said.
Hank just shook his head and led the way up from the beach.
"What a fucking night this has been." I said out loud and then looked at my watch.
Shit it was only just after eleven. I snagged a beer from a cooler and walked back to my blanket. Only James was there.
"You promised to make love to me Ed."
James had a wanting in his eyes. He hadn't asked me to fuck him. That was what Edward had been doing.
Even as I looked around the beach, I knew what the crews of Sandpiper and Sandpiper 2 were doing was fucking, sucking, rimming and what ever else they wanted. For the crews it was a rebonding of the Family. Renewing the love they had for each other by the only way most knew. Bringing new members into the crew and getting to know again older hands. Jake once said my making love or just fucking my lovers and Sons was incestuous. But except for Siam and Bobby, none of the crews were really related. Now James wanted what everyone else took for granted.
I laid him down on his back and straddled his body. I leaned down and kissed him, deep loving kiss. When I lifted up I saw tears on his face. Not tears of fright, but happiness. I moved down and licked and sucked each of his nipples. They hardened to spear points with my ministrations. I moved lower bathing his belly button. Then down to lick and suck his cock briefly. I took each of his balls into my mouth and suckled them. As I I moved down to his butt, he pulled his legs back. I slid my tongue up his crack and into his hole. The taste was fantastic as I tasted more than just James.
"Please Ed." James moaned.
I slowly brought my cock up and into his hole. As I applied a bit of pressure it slipped inside like a well oiled tool. A little more pressure and my cock slipped totally inside him. His slick chute was like a caldron. So hot and so smooth. His moans went up the scale as I bottomed out in his hot canal.
Edward may have been just fucking James, but James had learned a lot of control. His sphincter would tighten as I pulled back and loosen as I went in. His insides massaged and held my cock with each stroke. I started slow, but that didn't last long. Soon I was pile driving my cock in and out his smooth bottom. A definite bottom James was but he was also so much more. It took him just minutes to bring me to ejaculation and I think it was one of the biggest blows I had had in a long time. Spent, my cock slowly deflated. Pulling out was even harder as he didn't want me to exit. His muscles held my cock almost in a death grip.
"God I love you Ed. That felt so good I wished it would never end."
It didn't end for James. One by one my crews came out of the darkness and took James, leaving part of them selves with him. Gary and Bobby took turns rimming him after giving him their load. I just laid back and watched.
Very much later I helped James down to the sea to wash out those many loads. After drying by the now dying fire, I helped him dress and we climbed back up to my Jeep.
We slept on board Sandpiper.
In the morning after adding James to the Sandpipers roster, I told him to pack and put his stuff on board. I told him to be at the conference room by 10. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and with a quick thank you was gone.
Jason proved again he was the best man at the job of comptroller. Every place in conference room had a name and copy of the Sandpiper Family Corporation Profit and loss Statement along with all our investments. Like me most of the crew couldn't thing in millions let a lone hundreds of million dollars. He calmed their fears easily.
He explained how the debt worked. It wasn't just a single big debt load. Each investment carried part of that debt and was paid by that particular resort or investment. Taken together it sounded big but when broken down was easier to think about.
AS an example, The Sandpiper Imperial had already started to pay the interest on the loan I had taken to buy it. So were the Island chain in Thailand. Both resorts were in the black and paying not only their own expenses but adding to the coffers of the Corporation.
After Jason had said his say and the statements had been vote on and accepted he sat down.
I stood up.
"When the Family Corporation was first set up we never thought it would grow into the monster it is today."
That got a laugh.
Also when it was set up each of you received a share in the corporation, with me holding the balance or majority. Effective today you will all hold five shares in the Corporation. At the advice and agreement of Credit Swiss, Sandpiper Corporation has issued 1 thousand shares. You each now own 5 shares. Jake as a plank owner along with Jerry and Andy have ten shares. I hold the balance."
Also as of today anyone joining Sandpipers crews will have to buy into the corporation. How much that will cost has yet to be determined, however it will not be a great burden for anyone.
"Most of you know Sandpiper is registered in Portland Oregon. That was where my home was. However a bill presently before both houses in the United States would order the disarming of all Yachts registered in the United States. It is believed that, that bill is aimed at Sandpiper."
"Effective at 1800 hours tomorrow, the US Flag on Sandpiper will be lowered for the last time and the Flag of the Federated States of Micronesia will be raised. Sandpipers new home port will be Palikir Micronesia."
There are two main reasons for the change to Micronesia. The first is that Geo, My Father and Governor for life of Micronesia has asked me to become his Ambassador at Large. By accepting it gives me and Sandpiper Diplomatic Immunity along with all who sail with Sandpiper. Which means even traveling to the US, no one can touch me or Sandpiper."
The second reason is more complex. When I married Pakurr I didn't know he owned a large parcel of land. Upon his death that land became mine. I at first refused to accept it and wished that a park be named for him. After a lot of arm twisting by him and Temin, I accepted. I hope to build my retirement home there some time in the future."
"Lastly I would hope you all welcome Sandpipers two newest crew, Allan and James, although I think James received a very good welcome last night."
That broke up everyone.
WE adjourned the meeting and headed out for lunch and a beer.
Allan and James both protested that they didn't deserve to be part of the Family yet. I told them both crews had already accepted both so just accept it.
Everyone was on the dock as the big US Flag was lowered. I guess it was a sad moment in the history of Sandpiper. A smaller Flag of the Federated States was raised. I had already ordered several much bigger ones.
At the end of the ten day holiday the crew of Sandpiper 2 flew back to Australia. Mo was going to Thailand. Even though the Shalom Island Resort had not even been started on yet, he was going to learn how to operate a pleasure Island. Singh and Rami also were flying back to Pirate's Cove.
Another tear filled farewell at he airport.
