It was a beautiful morning as we all stood on the beach, watching, as a small rubber launch made it is way in our direction.
"Well ladies, it looks as if we are going to be rescued after all," I said.
"I wonder how long we've been here." Natalie asked. No one said a word, but I'm sure that each one of us had asked ourselves that same question.
"Who knows, we have all lost track of time," Angela said.
I turned to the girls and said, "Alright, you all know what to do. Now please, don't worry. I will be back for you as soon as I can, I promise."
All three of the girls said goodbye, then walked off into the tropical jungle and vanished.
That's when I began to think back to how this all started.
I had been sailing my boat around these islands for almost ten years, moving people and a little cargo. It was a good life and I enjoyed what I had been doing. The only wife that I had was my sailboat and the sea. Though I must admit it was nice to have a warm loving female to curl up with from time to time, I had not found one who cared to stay with both the sea and me.
I had a place in Hawaii on the island of Molokai, where my homeport is located. I called my business Dave Elite Charter Service and had two locals working as deck hands. One morning I received a call from one of them telling me that there were three very attractive women down at the dock looking for a boat. He went on to say that they looked like they had money. I dropped what I was doing and made a fast trip down to the docks.
There they were, all three of them sitting on their bags waiting for me. From the way they were dressed, I would say they were executives. High heeled shoes, dark stockings, two-piece suits, and high dollar hairdos. You could even smell their perfume ten feet away! They were slim, trim, and bulging in all the right places. They had money all right.
I walked up to them and said, "I understand you ladies need a boat."
They all looked me over before one of them stepped forward. She glanced over her shoulder at my boat, then turned and asked, "Is this sailboat yours?"
I spoke up and said, "Yes".
"Is it for hire?" She asked.
"For a small price. Where would you like to go?"
She walked over, put her arm around mine, and slowly walked me down the dock. I could really smell the high dollar perfume now. In a low voice she said, "We need to get off this island and we don't need any questions asked. Can you help us?"
"What is your name?" I asked.
"You can call me Linda."
"Well Linda, it will cost you."
"How far could you take us if we gave you five thousand dollars?" Linda asked.
"Lady, I can sail you halfway around the world for that much money. But when do you need to leave?" I asked.
One of the other women spoke up. "Right now."
I turned slowly and looked very cautiously at all three of the women. "I'm to understand that you three need to leave right now, and you don't care where I take you?"
One of the women stood up and said. "As long as it's away from this place, and we stay in the tropics."
I turned to my deck hands and said. "Go down to the store, buy enough supplies for a two week trip, and return as quickly as possible."
I then turned back to the woman and said, "Ladies, let's get onboard."
I picked up their bags and carried them onto the boat and down below to the guest accommodations.
I told the women, "If I was trying to leave this island without being noticed, I would try my best to look like vacationer or tourist. Your suits stand out like a sore thumb."
With that, one of the girls pulled off her coat and blouse. She stood nude from the waist up; you could see that she was enjoying the cooler air as she fanned herself. I could not help noticing that her breasts were large and round, her nipples long, and a dark cherry red. At that moment, one of the other women asked if it would be all right if they paid for half the trip now and the rest when we got to wherever we were going.
"Yes, that will be just fine" I said, pulling my eyes away.
I walked back to the aft hatch and went out onto the deck, making my way to the aft mooring lines. One of the women walked up to me. She had on string bikini panties and her blouse was open down the front. She handed me an envelope full of money.
"Here, you can count it if you like."
"No, I'm sure it is all there." I pushed it into my pocket and went about my work.
It must have been a good thirty minutes before my crew got back to the boat. When they came on board one of them came up to me and said in a low voice, "The law is down at the store asking about three women."
"Did you say anything?" I asked.
"Not a word."
"Good, let's cast off the mooring lines and get started."
Just then, one of the girls came up onto the deck. I turned, looked at her, and said, "They're asking about you in town. If I were you, I would stay down below and out of sight until we get out of the harbor."
"Do you know how hot it is down there?" she replied.
"Honey, if you think it's hot down below just try the local lockup this time of the year."
She gave me a hard look, but turned and went below without another word.
In no time we were moving slowly out of the harbor and out towards the open ocean. Once we were in the clear, I told one of the deck hands to take control of the wheel as I went down below.
I walked in and all three women were nearly nude in nothing but their bikini panties. They were fanning themselves, trying their best to cool down. I told them it would help to turn on the fans, and when we got further away from land, they could come up on deck.
One of the girls said, "Thank God, I never dreamed it could get this hot!"
I thought to myself, where have these women come from. It is hot like this all the time around here.
My deck hands had gotten the sails up and the wind was now at our back. It felt good having the wind in our sails.
I walked over to the hatch and called out to my passengers, informing them that it was all right to come up on deck and get some fresh air. When they came up from down below, you could see that they were a little more relaxed, and so was I.
We sailed the rest of the day until it was dark and the wind had died down. We dropped the anchor for the night and all began feeling a little more relaxed about being out into the open sea and away from land.
