Wonderful chapter. I think Ian and Adam will be a great couple. I have a feeling that the kid they had arrested for alleged assault, is going to wind up with charges against him by the FBI. Adam needs to keep his anger in check because if he blows up every time Ian is spoken to he'd be in for a rude awakening. I believe that Adam not talking to Ian about this will be more trouble. Can't wait for more.

Another wonderful chapter. I can understand why Jedd & Neale wanted to go outside and get in the jacuzzi, but they needed to head to Anton's orders of no going out without him or Simon to watch them. Since they didn't pay any attention to Anton's instructions they have lost their privileges of going outside. I hope that the weather clears for them soon and stays nice the rest of the trip. I'm hoping that everyone has a great time together once they get to their destination.

Anton was being a great boss when he made arrangements for the crew to have 3 weeks of paid holiday as they just finished the charter for the Fenton family. Afterwards he asked Neale & Jedd if they wanted to go to where they grew up and see some of their friends and they could see about getting some more of their belongings. It was agreed that they would sail to New Zealand and go to where they grew up. I'm glad Simon came back to help his friend who he had a feeling was up to something. I hope that they don't have any trouble when they get to New Zealand with no one aboard over the age of 18.

Another great chapter. I hope that at least one of the two men shot by Mitch is Dean Litton, that would make Angela & Tom's lives alot better as they wouldn't have to be looking over their shoulders all the time. I hope that cadet captain gets a good idea of why he's supposed to follow orders given by anyone in a command situation no matter the rank. I think Mitch might be getting another commendation for his outstanding work, trying to keep Angela & Tom safe and secure away from Dean and his gang. The reason I say that is because after everything that has happened and with the authorization for a shoot to kill order not only from his CO but from a Brigadier General in command backing up the order.

I would agree this is a another great chapter filled with drama. I hope that Captain is prepared to lose his rank and status in the cadet unit after the regular army gets done with him I seriously doubt that he'll be a part of the cadet unit anymore either. The idiot thinks he's better than the Lt Colonial in the SOC as a part of the regular army, I can't wait for Mitch and Mike get ahold of that cadet captain, as he'll be easy to find as he's making enough noise so anyone could find him. After they get done with him then the CO will get a chance to knock him down a few pegs since he's decided not to follow instructions being given to him by a Lt Colonial in the army as well as not following the instructions given by the SCUO who was given the authority to lead his own squad for the exercise. I hope they shoot him in the groin with the paintball gun, that will definitely stop him from giving away the position of the protecties.

I really enjoyed reading this story. Wesley turned out to be a very smart young man who took his responsibility to heart. I thought it was sad when his first employer passed away after being put in the hospital. While Mr Schwartz was in hospital Wesley ran the store and he did real well even with school and his responsibility for Toby. After the man Wesley thought of like a grandfather passed away, Wesley learned that he was the sole beneficiary of the store and associated property. Wesley became very depressed after the death of his good friend and employer which caused some issues at home causing him to leave.

Great chapter. I feel bad for Wesley and Toby for the loss of their mother. I'm sorry that Mitch got kicked out of his home. I can understand why Wesley feels that he needs to sell everything in his home town and also his share in the two units in his building. He's starting to think ahead about his and Toby's future, he wants to go somewhere and get a fresh start. I hope that it will work out for both of them. I understand why Edward is a little upset about the news, at the same time he understands what Wesley is trying to do.

Great chapter. I'm glad that Simon is alright, this isn't what Anton needed to happen. At least Anton put safety protocols in place so this doesn't happen again. I'm glad that Anton's grandfather is improving each day and he told Anton that he'll be going to the rehab hospital for a while. I hope that the rest of the charter goes well, with a VIP client they have to watch out for the media so they can avoid that area.

While I agree with most of the comments made by those who have commented before I got to this chapter, I think instead of Anton and his brothers going away for a while, which wouldn't be a bad idea. I think it would be better for Anton to take off and disappear for like a week or two so that he can concentrate on the future of his brothers and himself to figure out the best way to handle this situation as well as the business. Anton's grandfather will be in the hospital for a while so he won't be much help for Anton, and even once he's released from the hospital there's still the recovery time at home and any type of therapy he would need. Anton may only be 17 years old but he's got the mind of a 50 year old who's been in business for years. Although Anton has Jasper as the one who books the charters the business still needs a boss to handle other matters. I hope that Anton can count on his friends who are also employees to be there for him if he needs them. Another great chapter, I cried through most of it because it brought back the memories I have of when my mom died. I thank you for your time in writing the stories that you write you have a way of drawing the reader into the story which is a great gift that I wish a lot of other authors would learn to do.

While I feel bad for Anton, Neale and Jedd, I think it's not a good time for Anton to take off and try to see his grandfather. Even though the boys grandfather is in critical condition as a result of the traffic accident where their mum lost her life, I think if Anton were to try to go see his grandfather that there would be another accident with Anton the victim of it. Anton's mental state at the moment is more important than trying to go to his grandfather, also he now has to think about his brothers and what is the best way to care for them until Anton becomes an adult at the age of 18. Right now they're safe with Simon's grandfather Isaac, Anton has made the arrangements for the cremation of his mother and has plans for everyone to be aboard the Last Frontier so that they could scatter her ashes at sea. I for one certainly hope things start to turn around for Anton and his brothers and grandfather, if he survives his current injuries. I'm glad that Anton has a friend who is willing to help him with anything she can. I'm sure that she's going to do everything possible to keep the boys all together. I just hope it works out for all of them.

I think Anton's getting a little overwhelmed by everything that's going on with the charter business and school, and watching his brothers while his mum is in Perth due to Anton's grandfather having a stroke and his mum needing to be there in case something happens. I hope Anton can find a way to relax and get rid of the tension he's feeling. I know and understand that he's trying to prove to everyone that he can handle whatever is thrown at him. By stepping up to take on the responsibility of taking care of the boys and everything else gets to be a very tiring job after while, I am sure his mum appreciates all he's doing with the boys as well as the business. It's just a lot for a young man who is trying to finish his last year in highschool.

I agree with Chris that there might be trouble with Anton's mum after her attitude when he told her that he had put a deposit down on a 3 bedroom apartment. I hope everything goes smoothly with the charter since Anton has taken over as skipper on the Last Frontier. I think the parents of the two boys that Anton looked after for a few days until they were able to get to a place close to where the yacht would be so they could join their parents for the last part of the charter. I'm glad that Toby and Finn are enjoying being part of the crew on the yacht.

I have a feeling that some surprises are on the horizon for Anton. I hope that his grandfather will come through the stroke and be OK. I think Anton would be a great father, just by the way he gets involved with his brothers and what their doing. Anton always seems to take time for his brothers, and now with the boys of a couple who are part of the charter on the yacht right now he has planned activities that all of the boys would enjoy.

I'm with glennish about Anton ever stopping. I'm glad that Anton has something to keep himself occupied which I'm sure keeps him from thinking about the past. I hope that Anton doesn't burn himself out trying to keep up with the charter business and school work. Because of what Anton wants to study while at the University he's taking extra courses now so he's a little more prepared for the University. He has been going non stop for a long time, I wonder if he ever takes time just for him so he could relax and recharge his batteries. I'm glad that the family is taking a positive thing and keeping it going by offering to possibly supply some of the food that is needed for the charters especially after the fruit trees mature enough to start producing fruit. Great story, I hope at a point in the near future that Anton and Simon begin to start doing some things together to see if it would work for them to be involved with each other as a couple.

Congratulations Anton on completing the requirements for your skippers ticket. I like the fact that their grandfather was smart enough to not only order the eucalyptus trees but also fruit trees in different varieties. I can imagine the soreness the guys are going to have after digging the holes for the trees as well as planting them. I hope they aren't to sore for school the next day. I like that Anton asked his friends from school as well as Simon, Jasper, Kirk and Leon if they would like to go to the cocos Kettering island so that they could go get the Last Frontier and sail it back to their home base. I hope that they have smooth sailing from there to home during the 5 to 6 day trip.

I don't like the sound of that statement. I'm glad that Anton and his grandfather were able to get the Last Frontier back again and that Jasper be allowed to be the buyer for the Frontier. I hope good times are ahead for Anton and his family including the crew of the yachts at least for awhile. Now all they have to do is sail the Last Frontier back to the marina where it was moored.

I just hope Anton's driving test goes good, and that when he and his grandfather go to court to see about getting the trimaran back that it goes in their favor as well. I hope that if they do decide to sell the catamaran that they have a background check done on the potential buyer so they don't have the same problem with it that they had with the trimaran. Go Anton, we're all rooting for you. Really enjoying the story keep it coming.

I too am glad that Kirk and Leon are no longer employees of Mr Kingsley. I'm hoping that the court will allow Anton and his grandfather to come get the Last Frontier since the second cheque bounced, which means that Kingsley lost all claim to the yacht. I'm glad that Anton gave Kirk and Leon four days of r & r at a four star hotel before they return to the Frontier. The family is now able to move into the house and that frees up space on the catamaran for the crew so they can continue doing small charters for now. I'm glad that everything seems to be going well at school and the bullying and discrimination against others has been stopped for now.

I don't like the idea that the second cheque bounced, I am like Anton and I have a bad feeling about the yacht and Kirk and Leon. I don't think Mr Kingsley is on the up and up, if that's who he really is. I hope that Anton can get Jasper to talk to some of his friends in the police and find out more about this Mr Kingsley. I'm thinking that Mr Kingsley isn't a very reputable person. If the treatment of Kirk and Leon are any indication he treats them like scum of the earth. I like the fact that Anton thought enough about it and picked 3 properties for the family to look at after seeing all three they all agreed on the third one and made the purchase.

I agree with all of the current comments on the situation with Kirk and Leon and that the yacht will be based in Florida where being a gay couple isn't always welcomed. I'm not sure what the new owner has in store for them so I will wait to see what happens next. I'm not sure what Anton is thinking about as far as the family is concerned, I hope he will state what he has in mind soon. I'm glad that Neale is well enough to go to school with Jedd and have Anton, Simon and the rest of the SLT (Student Leadership Team) I believe that Neale might have to take it easy for awhile yet even though he has permission to return to school. The payment made for the yacht was very generous. Thanks again for the great story.

I don't know how the bully was released when he was supposed to be serving three months in detention without early release and yet he was at the school and attacked Anton. Anton found out from Jasper that the bully now has to serve another 4 months in detention after completing the original three months of which he had only served 1 month. I hope that they keep him in there this time instead of his lawyer being able to get him out early. I hope they decide not to sell unless they're able to get a bigger yacht and then possibly having everyone on the same yacht and getting along with each other. Maybe they can make a deal with Mr Kingsley to buy his yacht as part of the sale of Last Frontier. I'll have to wait and see.

I agree with Chris that this was another fine chapter and that Anton is certainly becoming a very fine and upstanding young man. Anton has proven that he is a very capable leader not only on the yacht but also at school and with his half brothers. I was very impressed with Anton when his mum had said that Neale was saying that he wasn't feeling well, Anton immediately went into a serious mode and went to check on Neale, remembering what the doctor had said about a possible ruptured spleen. Anton took charge and got Simon's help so that they could move Neale without jostling him around and calling for an ambulance. I'm looking forward to more about the new group at the school as well as how Neale is fairing with his recovery. I'm wondering about the new yacht in the marina.

This is going to be a very interesting morning as their guests don't know about the new destination. I hope that the surgery that Neale just had will be the last one because I think Anton might just want to head straight to Perth to be there not only for his mother but for Neale and Jedd as well. I understand that things happen and you have to go back into surgery in hopes that the problem is fixed. I've been where Anton is only I was really where his mom is, my youngest son went through multiple surgeries over the years and there were times when they no more than got him settled in his room and they came to take him back to the operating room. I only say that as a way of showing I understand the importance of family support at times like this. Thank you for your writing of this story it has been a great story so far.

I like the idea of both yachts doing charters as a way to bring in more revenue and also to get the word out about the charter service for the yachts. I hope everything goes smoothly with the school administration being involved now even if it's a lesser role as the guys want this to be a student run program. I hope that the issue for Jedd has truly been resolved as they hope it will be. Maybe if the bullygets the word out that their being watched it might just work the way Anton hopes it will. I like that the bully is handled in a nonviolent way.

This bully situation is not getting better it seems like it's on a steady course of destruction wherever it happens to be. Bullies don't care about the person who is the victim of the harassment they only think of themselves. I hope that Anton can put a stop to this all together, with Neale in Children's Hospital in Perth, Jedd was left in the care of Anton who doesn't mind taking care of him except when Jedd comes to school early due to the fact that Jedd didn't want to stay on the yacht because it's boring. I'm not sure what Anton's going to do now.
