I have to say that this is another fantastic chapter in the life of Ian. I hope that Adam and Ian can get back to where they were before the Anna incident. I'm glad that Paddy is a great son for Ian as well as a great friend, I think Paddy and Adam are going to become great friends as well, and I hope that he'll agree with Ian and Adam about the baby living with them and that they'll all share the responsibilities that come from having a baby. Even though the baby is Adam's heir I think that they'll all enjoy having the baby living with them. I can't wait to read the next chapter to see if Adam can get custody of the baby.

What a great story, I really hope Anton will finally be able go back to his life and responsibilities. I think he's starting to get used to just traveling when and where he chooses, even though Anton left Simon and Jasper in charge he still has a responsibility to the client who happens to be the Oceans Institute and the government even though Anton is supposed to be the co-leader of the research trips to the area where the oil and gas drilling is being done. I have a feeling that someone is going to come out where Anton is and try to convince him to go back with them.

I'm glad it's you writing about this stuff because I don't know if I could ever write about half of the things that you can come up with. I for one have never heard of a jaffle before or a 2 day bathroom, half bath I've heard of I even know what it looks like as I lived in a house as a youngster that had a bath and a half. I hope that in time Carlton will be another young man who is aware of what he wants and that if he works hard things are going to be better all the way around.

Great job with the storyline and the few twists thrown in as an added touch. I wonder if the statement made by Carlton's aunt Jacq during the fishing trip with Jacob as part of the crew, about Carlton being either gay or bisexual is true after all. I'm holding off on commenting on the subject too soon. I'm hoping that Carlton and Jacob hit it off and decide that they want more than a friendship with one another. I like the catamaran so far, but I want to see what happens when they take it out on the open water. I wonder if Carlton will do charters for a business for awhile.

I hope that we'll see more of Jacob in the future. I'm sorry that Carlton and Jacob didn't get to become friends as Carlton had issues with himself over the feelings he was having for Jacob. When Carlton got the letter from Jacob, he was already on his way back to Canada. I find it comical that Anton and his grandfather bought the trimarin from a couple from Canada and inherited 2 crewmembers from Canada as well and now Carlton met Jacob who happened to be visiting his uncle in Australia from Canada. I think it's great that Carlton's aunt and uncle are going to great lengths to make sure that he's set up for life since they have decided that they're selling the fishing boats and all of the Cray pots and equipment to go along with the boats. Since Carlton is basically taking the classes for research.

I am loving the story so far, I hope that they'll get rescued soon as I don't know what it'll be like if the seals on the doors start to give way. I'm not familiar with boats at all so I don't know if the seals on the hatches and doors ever give way to start allowing water in to the area where they are hold up for now. I'm curious why the rescuers were asking about scuba gear and certification of scuba training. I hope that the answers are in the next chapter.

It doesn't sound like Anton did to bad on his first time on a horse. I hope that he and Roebuck get back to work on the research vessel and get in touch with Jasper, Simon or even Mathew. I think maybe Anton needs to get a good knock upside his head and maybe he'll start acting like the adult he's supposed to be. I understand that Anton's had some rough patches in a short amount of time and he came back with a vengeance and didn't let things get to him. True he was young when he had to become a man and deal with the everyday burdens of such a person who by all rights shouldn't have been in the predicament he was thrust into. When his mother was killed he had to become a man because he had his young brothers that needed him as well as him needing him as well. He's been gone for about a week now if not a bit more and hasn't even been in touch with Jasper or anyone else. I hope that he'll wise up soon and get back in touch with someone to let them know that he's okay. I wonder if they have notified the police that he's missing, if not I hope that they'll get it done quickly.

If I am not mistaken didn't Anton have a fit about someone who took off and left their cell phone behind. I hope that Anton makes a choice and that he'll get ahold of Mathew to talk about what happened to him once he got to Perth. This isn't like Anton at all as he's usually the level headed one and always helping everyone else around him. I hope that he'll wise up soon so that he can talk his grandfather about the best thing for the boys who are currently living with Anita and Jasper at their house, where they started to live before their mother was killed unexpectedly as a result of the biker gang that were hired by a drug cartel to get some items that could put them behind bars for a really long time.

Jasper probably is calling Anton about the booking. Although I think 4 calls is a bit excessive. I hope that Jasper doesn't tell Anton that he had also booked a charter for the same time period. I hope that Mathew is doing well as he can at this point with his father in poor health. I'm sure that the director of the Institute won't be sending the offensive student back to work on any of the research trips. I wonder if the commador of the yacht club will start gossiping about Anton being there. Great work again this story doesn't leave you in suspense for long as there is enough going on that you're not waiting long before you get back on track with the happenings of Anton and friends.

I'm glad that the director of the Institute was aboard as well as a federal minister and a state official as well, that way the gas company couldn't be playing around trying to get Anton to leave the area. I'm glad that they went on the tour and found that the gas company wasn't doing what was expected of them, I'm sure that the violations that were seen could be grounds for cancellation of the contract the company has with Australia. I hope that everything goes well for Mathew with his father in poor health, I hope that he's able to patch things up with his parents before something more drastic changes with his father. I'm sure Anton can convince the 3 people who are leaving them to return to Perth to allow Mathew to accompany them to Perth.

I believe that is true, I think it's a safe bet that no one is aboard until Anton and Mathew are positive it's safe to put someone in it. I'm glad that they have a medical room if it's needed as well as someone who has the training to operate the room. I'm glad that Anton has agreed to the extended contract with the Oceans Institute for the charters needed to complete their 2 year contract with the government. If this works out for Anton and crew maybe they could get the institute to renew the contract. Which I think Anton had in mind when he was talking about the ship being just an idea when he was telling Simon about it. I hope that the rest of the charter goes as well as it has so far.

I have a feeling that Anton hasn't heard the last of the remarks about gay people. Unfortunately there are still quite few bigoted people in the world, even though the views of the world are changing a bit a time as to the relationship between two people who are in love with one another whether it be a heterosexual couple or a bi couple or even a true gay couple of a man with a man or woman with woman. I hope that this is an isolated incident and that they'll be able to get underway for the charter and once they get started with the work they'll have their hands full. I'm glad that Anton made it clear that he wouldn't allow the kind of remarks about gay people aboard any of his vessels at all, I think he was a bit shocked to find out that the director of the Institute has a gay relative and the parks department rep is in a gay relationship herself. They both understand why Anton acted like he did after Alex told him of the remarks being made. I think if the 3 students who made the remarks would have pushed the issue of staying in the research group they might have been expelled from the institute for the remarks, not only that but Jasper might've made a call to the police station to have the offenders removed forcefully if necessary. I'm glad that it didn't come to that point and also because of the background Jasper has he was well aware of what he could do under the law.

I wonder if the logistics company and the the media are in it together. I agree that this feels like a set-up from the beginning. I hope that all of the criminals get everything that they can get under the law, and not just a slap on the wrist. I think maybe Anton should think about having a security system installed on the research vessel. I'm glad you decided to continue the story as it hasn't let me down yet, the way things are going this will be another great story in of itself.

I agree Anton should have been polite enough to talk to the manager of the logistics company. I also agree that the two men who work for the logistics company were under no obligation to Anton since they didn't work for him to follow the rule of not talking to the media. I wonder what it will mean for the rest of the contract for the delivery of goods between the rv beyond frontier and the logistics company after the call Anton made to the manager without giving him a way to respond to what he was informed of by Anton. I'm glad that Jasper and his crewmembers are aboard to help with the charter for the oceans institute. Although it will be a bit cramped quarters for the charter they'll work it out they always do. I'm curious why the oceans institute is saying that the details of the charter are so mysterious.

Great job with this chapter. I don't like the idea that the 2 men who are supposed to be working for the logistics company delivering the food that the truckers would normally be doing to all of the towns. Due to the strike by the truckers Anton's research vessel was hired to do the delivering of the perishable foods. I wonder if the media showing up like this is a set-up to put Anton in the eye's of the trucking companies. I hope that isn't the case, it just seems to be suspicious that they're showing up and the the two men disembark from the ship and go straight to the media. I think Anton should make a call to the company and let them know that their employees are talking to the media. I'm glad that Anton made it clear that he wouldn't allow anyone on his crew to talk to the media without any repercussions. I guess I'll just have to wait until I read the next chapter to see what happens next, I kinda find it strange that the call made to the police goes to voicemail.

Great job with this chapter. I wonder now that Iilya is dead from a gun shot in the head if his threat is now over, especially when Gaius has seen the proof that everything was a lie spewed by Iilya. I hoped that the sidearm that Devon carried wouldn't be needed since I wasn't sure if he'd be able to use it if need be, but I was wrong because when Iilya shot Colin Devon reacted and was able to neutralize the threat. I believe the only threat now is from the vampire hunters that were going to be showing up to kill the vampires. Hopefully now everyone can relax and enjoy the festival surrounding Bram Stokers Dracula, since that's the vampire legend that made Transylvania and Romania famous.

I don't know what it is with Anna, with her and Ian's parents being the way they are where did she come from? I'm glad that Ian and Adam are going to talk about how much they have said when Adam went to Florida to check up on Ian and Paddy after they were in an accident. Once Adam got to Ian's parents house and started checking on Ian he was blasted by the bitch herself. Things went downhill from there because Anna's a manipulative and caniving bitch. She's not happy unless she's causing pain to others around her. I hope that Ian and Adam get back together with each other despite Anna. Paddy has every right to be worried about Ian, he sees the way things are going to be if Ian and Adam don't get back together. I'm glad that Paddy was in contact with his grandparents and that Ian's mom sent his dad to Kentucky to talk some sense into Ian. Loved the chapter by the way.

Another great chapter. I think the friendship that has arisen between Tony and Mitch and Ivan and Katya is going to continue to grow and become a stronger one. I hope that Tony will be able to invest money for Ivan and Katya, I think the first investment will be for the translator device, the second one will be for Sasha's restaurant. I have a feeling that the baby making between Ivan and Katya is going to be successful and they'll find out before the cruise is over. I can't wait to see if Ivan and Katya will come to Charleston to meet Sasha and Alik as well as David. I'm enjoying this story very much and hoping that the next chapter or two are only a few days away.

This was an incredible chapter. I'm glad that Tony and Mitch have made reservations for another cruise on the Queen Mary. I'm glad that they're also becoming better friends with Ivan and Katya even more so now that they possibly have another investor for the translator, when Tony showed it to Ivan and Katya they were immediately impressed by it and that it could translate Russian to English and English to Russian. Even the waiter they have for breakfast is impressed by it. I think Ivan just about flipped when Tony told him that the translator was for them to have, I doubt very much that Ivan and Katya will turn down the offer of becoming investors for the translator. I'm glad that Katya decided not to press charges against the man for sexually assaulting her when he grabbed a very private part of her body. I'm waiting for the next chapter.

I believe it was fate that Tony and Mitch met Ivan when they did. Then it must've been fate again that Tony and Mitch were going to Sir Samuels for coffee and Ivan saw them while Katya was shopping, then they heard a scream and went toward the sound. Ivan hit the man who won the lottery and was on the cruise with his wife after Ivan hit the man for sexually assaulting Katya the crewmen came to the shop and called for medical to come treat the man. The man refused treatment and tried to leave and was told he and his wife had to stay there until the First mate Mr Simmons got there, while they were waiting Tony and Mitch were talking to Ivan and Katya in Russian and were asked if they would mind translating for the crewmen and Mr Simmons while they did what they had to do. In the end the couple were removed from the ship and were going to be billed for the damages they caused not only to the shop but to their cabin as well. They aren’t happy about having to leave the ship. The wife was not very happy with her husband after Mr Simmons showed her that her husband did way more than just bump into Katya, she tried to hit her husband and she was restrained from doing that,and she was still screaming at him as they were lead away to go pack their belongings from their cabin. Ivan and Katya became better acquainted with Tony and Mitch over coffee. They took a picture with Ivan and sent it in an email to Sasha who showed the picture to Alik who went wild and asked Sasha to call Mitch when Alik was told that the bull was sitting with them he went wild and asked if he could talk to him. Sasha finally got Alik to go to bed after that with a little encouragement from Ivan the Raging Bull. Ivan evan asked Tony if they could talk about some investments he could possibly recommend as Ivan said he was always looking for more investments, Katya told him that they were on vacation and that he should not bother Tony while they were on vacation. I hope that the rest of the cruise goes well for Tony and Mitch. After this I’m sure they’ll all become truly great friends. Loved the chapter.

I hope that Dragon's broadcast has the effect everyone hopes it will. This mess that Lucian is trying to get going needs to be put to rest before it gets too much steam behind it. I'm glad that Edwin is there with 18 others from the England group. I'm glad that Dragon has said he would like to go to Manhattan to see Iustina and Repetate as well as the other sites that Manhattan has to offer. Great chapter by the way. I'm loving the way the story's going, I can't wait to see what happens next, if Dragon's broadcast does any good.

This is one of those chapters where you read it then sit back and scratch your head and try to piece together the events that occurred in it. I'm siding with the others when they say Anna should die in child birth as she's one evil woman, she only wants what she can get from anyone who is dumb enough to get involved with her. I'm not saying that Adam is dumb because he definitely isn't, he just got involved with the wrong person. I hope that Ian and Adam get back together again, they're good together and between the two of them I feel like Paddy is going to be a very lucky young man because of the love that Ian and Adam have for each other. I have to try patiently to wait for the next chapter to see what happens next.

Another great chapter in the lives of Tony & Mitch. Aboard the Queen Mary and they're having a great time. Although Tony did have one bad day because he kept dwelling on the tests that were done before they left to get aboard the ship. Then after Tony & Mitch return to the ship they start to go get coffee and meet Ivan and Katya when Ivan is asking for help with figuring out how to order extra starch for his shirt he's going to wear to dinner that night, when Tony & Mitch started talking to Ivan in Russian he was stunned for a moment then he asks why they speak Russian and they told him that they had 2 great friends at home who are Russian and one of them is going to be joining the family. I hope the rest of the cruise goes well for Tony & Mitch and that they don't run into the lottery winners as they are very bigoted. I want you to know that I am greatly enjoying the story and thank you for writing this story even though it's been tough on you, I feel like you're keeping Daniel's memory alive by writing about the time you had together. I hope that I'm not upsetting you by saying that it's just the way I was raised, if you want to keep someone's memory alive you either talk about the time you had together or you write about it. Again thank you.

I'm glad that you came back to write this very moving and emotional chapter. I can understand how difficult it must've been for you to write about this. The time we spend with the ones we love is a very important part of our lives, once you make that commitment to be with that special person in your life you do all you have to do within your powers to honor your commitment as Mitch is doing here. The only thing that you have is your unwavering love and support for the one you have said that you would be with them in sickness and in health. That vow is taken very lightly in the world today at least that's the way I see it. I will be waiting for the next chapter when you get it done. Thank you for writing this very moving and emotional chapter, I wish you all the best as you write more of this story.

Oh boy just what Adam needs right now, he's worried about Ian and Paddy, then he turns around and there's Anna his ex wife. I'm glad that Adam made it to Benny's birfday party like he said he would. He wasn't there very long before he got the call from Ian about he and Paddy being in an accident, after the call Adam was a bundle of nerves, even though Ian said their injuries were minor. I can only imagine what Adam's relationship with Ian is going to be after the confrontation between Adam and Anna. I'm like Ian when he told Adam he didn't need to come there. Great chapter, the guys are going to protect anyone who gets in the way, that is a great idea.
