Book Two
Chapter 4
I had planned today to be a day of some quality time with just Siam. Jimmy being as smart as he was, tried to bow out from going to the spring, but Siam had insisted. So I guess it would time with both boys.
I sort of figured we would be alone at the springs. Jason had told me he was taking four boys to teach them golf. I also knew four of my crew had gone to the Capital to shop. They had all asked me for cash first thing this morning. So I figured we would be alone, at least for part of the day at the spring.
The Hotel had bought a dozen of the cheapest model Jeep available. Just 4 cylinder engines and smooth tires. All 4x4 with a light canvas top. They were perfect for guests who came by boat to get into town to shop or explore the Island. The Hotel also had a couple of dozen electric golf carts, for guests who came to golf.
So it was somewhat of a surprise when we pulled into the small clearing by the spring to find two of the Jeeps parked haphazardly in the clearing. Now with three vehicles there it would be difficult event turn around.
"Guess no time to ourselves boys."
"That's cool Ed." Siam said as he jumped out of the Jeep. Jimmy followed and both boys ran to the edge overlooking the springs.
By the time I walked over both Siam and jimmy were both nude. I looked into the spring. It appeared like Jason was taking on all six boys in the pool. Two were hanging off him as he tossed another away. They all came back laughing. Siam and Jimmy were quick to join the melee. I guess that was enough for Jason, he cried Uncle and sank below the water with a half dozen boys pushing him down.
He came back up out of the water like a giant sea serpent, flinging boys everywhere. I just sat down and laughed. He looked up and saw me.
"Come on in Ed. The waters fine."
"Not a chance. I have trouble handling four. Eight would kill me." I laughed.
Jason untangled himself from all the young men and made his way to the crude stone steps. I watched the water run off his body as he climbed out. He really was a well built man. I didn't see him often like this and the view was magnificent. Thick muscles, and long cock nestles in a big black bush of curly hair. The water seemed to glint off his body making him look almost surreal as he slowly climbed the steps to the top. He grabbed a towel and sat down next to me.
"Damn they can wear a guy out fast. I must be getting old or out of shape."
"Your shape looks good enough for me." I laughed.
I ran my hand over his chest. I flicked one of his nipples."
"Jesus are you always horny Ed. You keep that up and I'll never get it down."
In all the time I had known Jason, I had never been able to deep throat his cock. I l knew some of my crew could, but I almost defy anyone to take a beer can 10 inches long into their throat.
He had fucked me on occasion but even then had been a slow process.
I take it you were only wishfully thinking?"
"Well I can't get more than couple inches in my mouth and it takes a while to take you up the butt, so yes, just thinking."
"So how many can actually take you?"
"Well Aaron was the first. That shocked me. Sal can along with Brent and Momo. Jake and Randy can do about half."
"Aaron? Wow!"
"Yeah. Jake, Randy and I had him down for some fun. Jake fucked him while He sucked Randy. Then when Randy started to fuck him I climbed on his chest and was slapping his face with my dick. He opened his mouth so I put my dick into his mouth. He used his hands to pull my cock into his throat. No gag, no choke. I was so shocked I just sat there. He used his hands to push me off and then back in. After that I just fucked his face till I came."
"Sal took a while to get me all in, but both black guys did it as Aaron did."
Neither of us were really into sex at that point. We sat and talked. I told him about Hiro and how he just disappeared.
"That really is strange. I'll do some checking when I get on board Sandpiper."
"Jason, what do you think of getting Corporate Cards, Credit cards for the crew? Right now I give out cash anytime one of my crew with exceptions so they can shop. That might not be such a good idea for them to be carrying a large sum of cash."
I already have credit cards and so do my Son's. Jake has one and so does Andy. All paid from the Sandpiper account."
"Actually that's a good idea. I'll get right on it when I get back on board."
"You guys going to sit and talk all day? Siam said.
Siam plopped himself down in my lap.
"Boy I wish I could handle this Jason?" He said as he gripped Jason's cock.
"Not going to happen Siam. I love you as much as I love Ed and would never hurt you."
"Yeah I know. But was only thinking."
All the time he was talking he was squirming on my lap. He got me wet as well.
"Well now that you got me wet and horny I guess I need to fuck your brains out Siam."
"Oh goody." He giggled and stood up.
He ran, his hard cock leading the way, to the edge of the spring and jumped off. I stood up and pulled off my shorts and Speedos.
"Well maybe I'll get this, this afternoon Ed." Jason said as he gripped my cock.
"Now who is the one that's horney?' I laughed.
"It's hard not to be with all those young men." No pun intended.
Sal and Siam almost claimed me as exclusive property for the afternoon. I did get to screw Jason, but didn't get his monster inside me. He did do Sal, which kind of shocked me, but I guess after Momo's big black cock it wasn't that difficult. Three hours of uninhibited sex wore us all out. We were a very tired crew that returned to the hotel in the late afternoon.
Jimmy accepted the substantial tip Siam gave him. Siam and I enjoyed a solitary dinner and watched the sun set. We slept alone. Cuddled close together was best of any world.
After breakfast we stood on the balcony and watched Sandpiper return. I very seldom got to see her up on foils and she looked fantastic as she rounded the point. Barely a whisper from the forward foils and just the wash of her water jets behind.
"Boy is she beautiful Ed." Siam said.
WE watched as she slowed. Two crew ran out and dropped bumpers over the side. Another took station near the bow. Very soon she was tied up and we watched everyone exit the yacht. No surprises. Temin and Rad were tied at the hip. Allan and James were in an animated conversation and Jerry Pratt and Harold looked like a couple.
"I thought Jerry was straight. It sure looks like he likes Harold a lot." Siam said.
"Well things sort of changed for him after some of that fertility drink on Timatu." "Yeah that stuff will do it." He giggled.
I hoped it worked out but was curious. Harold was from the deep South. Jerry had been raised in Atlanta Georgia. I wondered how it would work out with the racial tensions that had always been prevalent in the Southern States. A southern black boy and white from Georgia. Not my business really.
The two letters I received from the Secretary from the Marshalls both offered congratulations. Gio looked forward to the day I came home. Palikir was now my new home. The Secretary of State for the US hoped my new status would not change the friendship he enjoyed with me and my crew.
No mention was made of the pending lawsuit. The only communication I had received from my lawyers in New York stated that a Statement of Defense had been filed by the Paper I was suing.
Jake and I along with the crew spent the afternoon talking. Jake was generally happy about my new status and that of Sandpipers. Mainly because no matter where we stopped, the country we stopped at would have to protect Sandpiper.
He even joked about his new status as having Diplomatic Immunity.
"I could rob a bank and they couldn't touch me." He laughed.
"You rob a bank and I'll personally toss you overboard at speed."
"Well the crew is going to have to be extra careful now. No more picking up boys. Wouldn't go down right in some of the places we travel."
One thing I had to do was notify Gio of my itinerary. Then he would let me know what kind of relations he had with a particular Island or country.
Other than that we planned our next trip. Tonga was next on my list.
We planned on leaving in three days.
Temin and Rad were all teary eyed when I gave them my blessing on their joining as partners. I told Temin he would have to explain to his Father when we went home. It didn't change how many would be in my bed except when we were in port and living off Sandpiper. There were only five staterooms on Sandpiper so having four or more in my bed at sea was normal.
Islands in the South Pacific were far apart. It was almost 1200 miles from New Zealand to Fiji. Such distances made most Islands independent States. Sandpiper made those distances seem small. At high speed Sandpiper could go from Fiji to New Zealand in twelve hours, where as most ships took days. Tonga was about 1000 miles from Fiji and we figured on three days at cruise.
When we were in Mexico, Jake had told me Sandpipers range was close to 5500 miles. That was with the seven bladed props that she had at the time. Now with the water jets that range had increased, especially if we ran using just the auxiliary Engine. At night at sea with most of the systems and electrical things shut down we did run on the auxiliary engine. It gave time for the engine room crew to service the main engine.
One thing Sandpiper had that was very unusual in a yacht of Sandpipers size was a closed circuit sewage system. There were three types of water on Sandpiper. Fresh water was used for cooking and drinking. It was drawn from the two fresh water tanks lining the port and starboard hull. Brown water was from the toilets and it was pumped directly to our sewage tank. Grey water was filtered water used in the toilets and showers. It was recycled after it was used and most was reused in the system. Only a small part was pumped into our waste tanks. Our engines used sea water for coolant and except for having to clean the pipes on a regular basis ran separately from the rest of the system. Our sewage tanks had to sanitized on occasion. On the aft deck of Sandpiper was also a sea water shower.
With that closed system gave Sandpiper a very long range. Only needing to stop and refuel and replenish food. Jake also said if we ran out of beer we would definitely have to stop.
Tonga, or as officially known as the Kingdom of Tonga is a sovereign state in the south pacific. It is called the friendly Islands after Captain Cooks visit there. He arrived during a festival to the main chief and had been invited to the ceremony. He was lucky the chiefs had planned to kill him and probably eat him, but could not agree on a plan so he escaped with his skin intact.
Tonga has never lost it sovereignty to any nation and is now a member of UN and several other organizations. It comprises of about 200 islands with a total population of about 300,000. Most live on the main Island of Tongatapu. Although tourism is one of the main sources of income some other exports include fish, fruits and spices. Land ownership by non citizens prevents larger hotel chains from building. Land can only be leased by non citizens.
Gio informed me there were no treaties or other concerns about Tonga. So the plan was to be just tourists.
After almost a month in Fiji, Sandpiper slipped her lines and we backed out. Soon after we were heading south. Back up on foils Sandpiper glided over the easy swell. The only difference was the Flag of Micronesia that flew at our main flag hoist. Not quite as big as the US flag but just as impressive.
Allan was at first shocked at crews dress while at sea, but soon fell into the same dress. We were back on full watches with three days sailing to Tonga. I was also back to six or more in my bed.
Jer made it quite clear to Siam that he would have to share me equally. That didn't bother me and made their loving much more intense.
What the exact relationship between Harold and Jerry I still wasn't sure. He had no problems when he first joined Sandpiper. He knew we were an all gay crew, but had just taken it in stride. That had changed on Timatu after some of the boys there fed him fertility drink. He had told me something had happened on Timatu. I knew he had slept with several boys. I had always thought him Straight, but Timatu changed that theory.
Now he seemed taken with young Harold the Negro boy from Mississippi. How that worked I wasn't sure.
Jerry was one of the few people on Sandpiper that always wore shorts. He was also the only one that a very thick covering of hair. That was something that had fascinated the boys on Timatu.
After a quick tour our second day out from Fiji, I found Jerry on the stern deck typing into his lap top. Every story he had submitted so far had been perfect as far as all the crew were concerned. He always vetted each installment with the crew before he transmitted it to his paper and my lawyers.
I stopped at the bar and grabbed two beers before joining him.
He saw me coming and closed his laptop. I gave him the beer and sat down on one of the loungers.
"Just what the doctor ordered. Thank Ed." He said as he took a sip.
"So how are you getting along Jerry? Crew wise. Any problems?"
He sat staring into space for a few minutes. Obviously something was on his mind.
"Ed, do you think the way one is brought up can change overnight?"
"Depends I guess in how one is brought up. Some people do change due to circumstances others change through necessity."
"Ed, I was brought up in an all white household. My Father was a Lawyer in Atlanta. In his entire career he never once represented a colored. The N word was almost a common word at home and in the all white private school I went to. You could say I was brought up as a racist."
I had never before interacted with African Americans before I left home to go to Georgetown."
"Georgetown changed my attitude somewhat. I had to interact with several black students. Hell I even had a black professor."
"When I graduated I went to work for the New York Times. Now I really had to bury my prejudices, with all the blacks in New York, it was hard not to interact."
"I went to Saudi Arabia during the first war in Iraq. Again I saw a large number of black soldiers. They were just as good as their white counterparts."
"To be honest it didn't change me much. That happened when I was an embedded reporter with an advance Marine platoon in the Second Iraq war."
More than three quarters of the Marines in that Platoon were black. To the Marines everyone is equal and they treated each other that way. A young Black corporal was assigned as my body guard. We got along pretty good too."
"It was on the drive to Bagdad that it happened. The platoon was about ten miles ahead of the main force of Marines when we came under fire from a village. WE all bailed from our Humvee and into a ditch. The bullets were flying over head. The Corporal told me to move farther down the ditch carefully. As I started to move two Iraqi soldiers popped up ahead of me, both armed. The corporal pushed me to the ground. He got hit by three rounds. The men behind us took out the enemy soldiers."
AS I sat up I saw that the vest he was wearing saved his life, but he was still bleeding. I used my very limited first aid to stop the bleeding. Here was a black kid who for most of my life I had considered a second class citizen had just saved my life."
"That young black corporal changed everything in my life. I quit working for the New York Times; I had once considered it racist and became a free lance reporter.
"Then Sandpiper came into my life. Not you Ed, but Sandpiper. I'll admit I wrote some very one sided stories about Sandpiper. Things like how an armed yacht could just sail around and no one cared."
"I was in Nice for that regatta and I found out several more things about Sandpiper and you. That just fueled my curiosity. An all Gay crew on an armed yacht?"
"I started to dig to find out everything I could. I wasn't gay and didn't really have anything against gays per see, but needed to understand how it worked."
"I found out with my research that there was a lot more about Sandpiper, Ed Somers, the rich playboy and his all gay crew. That changed me again and I knew I needed to get on board to find out what the real story was."
I was going to ask you in Sydney during the Americas Cup, but instead got another piece of information when the Sandpiper went after the heart attack victim. All that did was add to the legend that was growing around you and Sandpiper."
"When the story broke about the charges China had laid against you I knew they were false. I had seen first hand how your crew worked together and knew there was no foundation in law to support them. I was in New York when you talked to the reporters outside your hotel. I was determined to ask you, even if you rejected me. I was both shocked and surprised you accepted me without even a raised eyebrow."
The rest is history they say, but not entirely in my case."
"I finally figured it out. I was writing about Sandpiper. What I should have been looking at was you Ed Somers. You are the real legend. Sure Sandpiper has done all that everyone has written, but it is you who have her. Sandpiper is but an instrument that is used to command respect, but it is the man behind the Name Sandpiper that deserves all and more than the world knows."
I started to open my mouth.
"Let me finish Ed please."
"You spend money like you own the US Treasury. But you don't spend money on yourself. You spend it all to help others. You set up a five million dollar endowment in Canada so Sri Lankan students can get a better education. You support an orphanage in Sri Lanka. You spend more to help others than I think you have ever spent on anything else save Sandpiper.
"Timatu changed my life for ever Ed. I'll admit when we first arrived, I thought I had been wrong about you. It wasn't until I heard you being called Father and Saint that I found out that there was nothing sexual about Timatu. Everyone genuinely loved you.
"Remember that boy on the beach the second day, the one that you said was interested in me. Well it wasn't sex he was interested in it was me. Who I was? What I did? All he wanted was someone to hold, someone to love. Like everyone on that Island all they want is to love."
"Timatu also brought out something in me that I had never thought of before. Inside I changed. I found an interest in young men. Bi, Straight, Gay, I just don't know anymore Ed."
Siam came out and dropped two more beers. I gave him a peck on the cheek. He just giggled and disappeared again.
"I guess Ed I am at a cross road in my life and I'm not sure which road to take."
"Go with your heart Jerry."
"Is that all there is to it. Just my heart? What about my life up until now? What about my past and wife and kids. Do I just forget what's gone and start again?"
"Jerry you can't change the past or even forget it. You already told me about your son and daughter. Why you were divorced you never said and it's really none of my business. As for everything else you really do need to be happy. So your heart plays a large part in it."
"You said it's me that the story should really be about. Well Jerry it's my crew that is more important. When I inherited Sandpiper and 30 million Euros, I really did become a rich gay playboy. I was thinking with my dick and balls. Not my head or heart. It took a small Indian boy to bring me around. Singh you have met and he is number one Son."
The things that Sandpiper and crew have done were their doing, not mine. They were the ones that brought me to Surabaya and Thailand. In Thailand it was my stubborn nature that got me into and out of trouble there. My Father was very religious, unlike me. He taught me one thing that has always followed me. All rights should maintained and wrongs should be righted. Simple as that Jerry. Simple rule Jerry. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
When my uncle had Sandpiper built, the weapons were an after thought. He had been accosted by pirates and decided he needed some protection. A twin 40mm Bofors had been added to the bow and places for two .50 cal machines guns added. During our travels those weapons have been up graded. Sandpiper might be the fastest yacht in the world, but she is not the most heavily armed or the most heavily armed American registered yacht."
Everything I have done even going to Timatu was initiated by my crew.
"Don't write about me, write about my crew."
"That cross road you are at has a lot to do with a certain southern colored boy, doesn't it?"
"Yes."
"This might sound crass and indifferent, but the question comes down to do you love him. Or are your interests more along the line of I have a hot Nigger ass to fuck and that Nigger sucks my cock. Or is there real love, mutual love and respect regardless of color or upbringing."
And is it reciprocated. Does that colored boy screw your butt and do you suck his cock?"
"Jerry if all you are interested in is sex, go for it, but make sure you tell Harold that's all you are into. Hell if you had not been out here when Siam brought us those beers, I would have ended up in my stateroom with him fucking my brains out or vise versa."
Jer came out with two more beer.
"Lunch will be ready in about an hour Ed." He said.
He was rewarded with a peck on the cheek and a hand rubbing his brown butt.
Jerry watched Jer's brown butt sashay off the stern deck.
"Thanks Ed. I guess I really need to talk to Harold."
"Good." I hit the intercom.
"Harold Report to the aft deck."
"See you Jerry." I got up and walked inside and up to the bridge.
I walked into my office behind the bridge. Jason was sitting with his feet up reading.
"Well is Sandpiper ready to sink under a waterfall of red ink yet?"
"Not really Ed." He laughed.
"Drill ship one is tied up in Abu Dubai waiting for drilling permits. That should be just a formality but all governments take time. Drill Ship two should arrive in a month. Contracts are now in place for drill pipe from Japan and the platforms ordered from Canada will be shipped within a month."
"All the plans and permits are in place for construction on Shalom Island. Matrix is just waiting until they have a free crew."
"Matrix has also farmed out the renovations and construction work in South Africa. It will be done by a local Construction Firm. They will send an engineer to supervise."
"Total cost to you for Pirates Cove will hit about 22 million. I have made sure there is enough money in the Transfer Account to cover everything.
"Now I can find nothing about your friend Hiro. He is not registered at the academy in Sydney. There is a Hiro Massimo that owns a large fishery in Japan, but he is a sixty year old man and doesn't have any young Sons."
"I wonder if he has something to do with my lawsuit."
"Don't know Ed, but I'll keep looking."
"Come on let us go to lunch."
The meals put out by Andy and his crew would rival any of the finest restaurants in the world. Each was different and each very good. After stuffing myself I grabbed a bucket of beer and headed back up to the bridge. I took my favorite chair on the Starboard side of the bridge and sat down to let that wonderful meal settle.
As was usual when I sat down alone, boys seemed to materialize right beside me. This time it was Temin. Rad I saw was just taking over the afternoon watch at the helm.
"Hey Babe. How are you doing?" I gave him a quick kiss.
"I'm good Ed. Ed could I learn to do something on Sandpiper. I mean I help the other guys, but sometimes I feel kind of useless."
"For sure Temin. What would you like to do?"
"Well I'm a real good swimmer and I thought maybe Gary could teach me about the Zodiacs."
"Now that is an excellent idea."
Everyone on Sandpiper had a specific job. Some cleaned, some worked on the bridge or engine room. No one had ever complained. Temin when he first came aboard had been more my companion than anything else. Maybe it was time to start training everyone on the different specific jobs.
I was about to call Gary and Siam to the bridge when Jake walked out. He winked at me.
The intercom came to life. Jason's booming voice came over it.
"MAN OVERBOARD STARBOARD SIDE."
I looked at Rad. He spun the wheel to starboard, that would push the water jets away from a man in the water. He then hit the General alarm. That would bring everyone to their non action stations.
"Man overboard, starboard side. Prepare to swing out Zodiac." He said in the intercom.
Rad kept the turn up for a bit and then swung Sandpiper the other way until we were streaming in our wake. Temin sang out.
"Man in the water 300 meters a couple of points off the port bow."
Damn he had good eyesight. He hadn't even used glasses.
"Good show Temin." Jake said.
Very quickly Sandpiper was stopped about fifty yards off the swimming body. The Zodiac swung out and into the water. Very quickly the man was on board and soon after back on board.
"Good job Rad. Put us back on course."
Jake headed off the bridge. Temin and I followed. WE found Gary, Momo and Siam by the Zodiac. Siam was dripping water on the deck.
"Good job guys. Best time yet. Are you okay Siam?"
"Sure Jake, but I was some scared to start. I didn't know what was going to happen. Jason asked me to put on a life jacket. He said he wanted to make sure we all knew how. When I had it on he picked me up and tossed me overboard. Man I was scared as Sandpiper just kept going. Then turned back. Gary sure got to me fast."
"Well it was meant to be spontaneous Siam. I'm sorry I scared you." Jason said.
"That's okay. It was fun too."
"While I've got you two here I want you both to start training others to do your jobs. Gary you can start training Temin to handle a Zodiac. Siam I want you to train a couple of boys on the Radar. I think it is about time everyone knew each others jobs. Then if we need more than one Zodiac or one of us incapacitated we have back ups."
"Jer is lead hand so Siam you can teach him the Radar. He'll have to instruct a replacement on the port 60."
That should give everyone some thing new. Jerry you might start teaching Harold photography."
"Will do Ed and thank you."
Jake and I headed back to the bridge. Rad had a mile wide grin on his face. I gave him a quick kiss.
"You did real good Rad. I'm glad you were our helmsman."
Praise of any kind just made Rad blush, although with his almost black skin it was hard to tell. I sat back down and cracked a fresh beer.
Having given the crew a new task I knew they would go at it with a will.
Jake came out, grabbed a beer and sat down in the chair next to me.
"That really was a good idea Ed. Maybe if we get them all trained I can take a few days away from Sandpiper."
When I thought about it Jake really never did take time away from Sandpiper. I also really didn't know much about Jake's past.
"Jake, I hope I'm not prying, but I have always wondered why you quit the Royal Navy. I presume it had something to do with you being gay. I'm also curious where you learned French and German, let alone the bagpipes."
"My separation from Her Majesties Navy had nothing to do with being gay. I joined the navy as a midshipman in Portsmouth. My Father was a Captain and I was following in his footsteps. Being just thirteen in a barracks full of horny young men I found quickly I preferred boy to girls any day. You had to keep it quiet it but most people knew there were shipboard relationships."
"I was a fourth Lieutenant aboard an old minesweeper. We tied up in Scapa. On leave I watched the Edinburgh tattoo. The bagpipes sort of pulled at me. So I bout a chanter, sort of a training tool for the pipes. I sort of self taught myself.
As to my French and German skills, I spent time on board both a French Destroyer and German Frigate while I was a liaison officer with NATO."
He sat then for a long time.
"The reason I got out Ed was in part due to the Falklands fiasco. I was a very young Commander, Captain of a brand new Destroyer. When tasked as escort for the ships going to the Falklands, I warned the Admiralty of the very big shortcoming of the new Destroyers. WE had DP guns mounted, but nothing to fight against low flying antiship missiles. The Yanks used the CIWS to protect their ships and I asked for a similar weapon. I was turned down."
"The ships became sitting targets for the Argentine Air Force. My Ship took two hits from a French exoset Missile. It went down under me."
I quit almost as soon as I returned to England. Your uncle hired me off the beach. Now you have me."
"And that is something I am very glad of Jake. You as much apart of Sandpiper as I am."
TBC.
