“You and I, Anton, will be doing five hour shifts at the helm, and Simon will do a two-hour shift. Once we are over the continental shelf, we will change course, and head for the middle of Dorre Island, on the eastern side,” Jasper announced. I could see that Simon was about to ask where that is, so I beat him to it. “Shark Bay. Excellent! This is going to be so awesome,” I said with a big smile, and Simon gave me a slight side bump with his shoulder. I just laughed. “How long wil

I watched, as a couple approached an apartment building which looked like it hadn't been very well maintained, and they used a card to open the door. Before they stepped inside, what they didn't realise, but I spotted, was that one of them had dropped the pass card on the ground as they entered the building. When they were clearly out of sight, I cautiously approached the building and picked up the card. Nervously I put the card up to the sensor and it beeped, with a tiny light going from r

Sometime during the night, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and vibrating. It took me a few moments to realise that it was the yacht alarm. I shot out of bed like a flash and quickly dressed. A light knock on my cabin door made me jump with fright. “Anton, we have some intruders. I have rung Jasper. He is on his way,” I heard Simon say softly through the door. I turned off my light before I opened the door. “You nearly gave me a heart attack! Does your grandfather know?” I re

When I arrived at home with Toby and the groceries, it was almost 6pm, so I quickly put the groceries away, I got Toby into the shower and into his pyjamas, just as Mum walked into the apartment. Seeing and smelling no dinner being ready, she dumped her brief case and headed straight to the kitchen, where she quickly started to prepare a simple dinner, of tuna & pasta bake. While Mum was preparing dinner, Toby played in the lounge and I began doing homework. After a while Mum asked how

Life finally started to look a lot better for me, after having to struggle the first eighteen years of my life. I am the oldest of two boys of a single mother who did her very best to give us a happy life, even if it was a big struggle most weeks. My younger brother is Toby, and with him being 12 years younger than me, it was often me that was left to look after him from a very early age, including having to change his nappies, until he was finally toilet trained at 18 months old. I woke u

Once we had eaten our dinner, we decided to walk along the beach back to the marina. We talked about how nice the place was, and I mentioned that I thought I was going to be very happy here. When we arrived at the marina, we noticed a few kid’s pushbikes near the jetty, and as we looked towards my catamaran, we saw kids on the jetty near the catamaran. Simon and I ran towards them, and as we neared them, we slowed down to a fast walk. “Hey guys, what’s all the excitement about,” I said to t

“Stay on a heading of 345 degrees, and you will be fine,” Mr Adamson said with a smile, and I nodded my head in understanding. After eating his lunch, Mr Adamson headed downstairs, and returned about fifteen minutes later with my lunch plate in hand. He took over the helm, while I ate my lunch. Mr Adamson kept me at the helm, and questioned me on a number of things regarding ocean navigation as we went, and after two hours on the helm, I could see some islands in the distance. “That is

The time had come for me to claim my life back, to escape the hardship that I had had to endure for most of my life. I had been planning this, for what seemed like a life time, but had in reality been since I was reminded about the catamaran just over a year ago. Today was one of the rare days, that my father would not be home when I arrived back from school, which was the only time that I would be able to get away unchallenged. I had already packed most of my clothing, and what belongings
