.........Yes a Kaboom is somewhere in sight here, but I think Trevor will be disarming there! Hmmm a volcano perhaps! Nah, already done. Nuke?, nah same, island with dropped ordinance? Came close, but no cigar. How about a very good shooting match later on!! We already have seen Trevor's skills with a pistol, will he need them to take out say an outboard engine, on say a troublesome boat?

.............Shish-ka-bob chicken and beef with terriyaki pineapple chunks, red bell pepper and onion, plus grilled mushrooms, onion, red bell pepper, yellow and green squash and dessert. I had planned on doing some deep fried shrimp wrapped in bacon for the guest, but the list got too long!!!!

.............Poor Dirk is so messed up he has become a two-fisted drinker, gin& tonic and beer at the same time!! Bridget is so convinced that Dirk murdered Rachel, but why is she so concerned with Trevor finding the Aries?? Something doesn't add up here, both Dirk and Bridget do not want Trevor to find or look for the Aries in the Bahamas!! Another mystery left for us! The answer is in Australia, if Trevor makes it there!!

.....Easy answer for me, save the good one! You already know you can only save one and the other one is a psychopath.

...........Hmmm! The only story that CJ wrote that concurs with that is FTL, all the others had height experiences in them! :lol:

...............The theory loses its credibility when one remembers it is a goats trail Trevor & Joel are on. Surely a frog would have mined lily pads instead.

..... I believe Bridget's plan is to learn from Lisa & Joel's anything she can about Trevor's whereabouts, she gave them the key to her 'ear' guest house. But being a misunderstood older lady may preclude her from any crime!!

Happy Birthday,Wen! ...............Have a great one!!!

I quite agree with the nominations, but I think Bridget really believes that the Aries went down, thus Trevor finding it would dissolve Dirks involvement if discovered that it was not sabotaged. Bridget has said time and time again she believes that Dirk killed his wife. But if he didn't and as alluded much earlier in the chapters Dirk almost telling Trevor that the danger was real and that 'the Aries was not ... (there?). Bridget has now made her prejudice known and thinks by killing Trevor the heat will be off her for Arnold' s demise. The Aries is not there, and probably is in Australia, the question/mystery is why the faked death of Rachel and the fake sinking of the Aries? What did Rachel know? The seven years statue still bothers me, I can't figure that one out. Australia is still the key!

........... But of course the goat trails along the cliff-side of perilous hills leading through a mined field can't be deemed a cliffhanger??? Hmmm, I may have saw that one coming to an extent. But don't be mislead by Bridget's comments, (nor the wily goats misdirection) remember Bridget believes Dirk murdered his wife. Therefore if Trevor found the wreck with of the Aries with no sabotage it could clear Dirk, bringing back the spotlight of her husband's murder back to her. With the Aries still lost, and Trevor's planned demise in the Atlantis under the same mysterious circumstances. The focus goes back to Dirk! BTW anyone else notice how much time off Detective Alford seems to have? Running between islands like he has been doing of late? Australia is still the key to one mystery, Lisa and Joel will find answers to another! Great Chapter CJ!!! Glad to see that Trevor has made some money for his 'explosive' work!

...........................Hahaha! WHO???

.................. Did you not catch the inference by Bridget when she was talking to Detective Alford about getting the 'noose' of his head in the investigation?

.... It is tough situation, but it happened to me once, I saw a toddler obviously lost, or just exploring I immediately got the attention of others in the area, and as a group finally found the frantic mother. But I can see why the unfortunate hesitation of these two men in light of allegations being blown out of proportion.

....................... Hmmmm! now on to the chapter at hand (silly, goats can't swim, but are known to traverse through cliffs) Bridget again has let slip to an ignorant Lisa too many facts of Dirks and Rachel's impending divorce that I don't think she had from conversations with Lisa. Either way, Lisa should start to wonder how Bridget came about that information. 'Needful one?' 'Possible Need' Bridget seems to adhere to the old adage of keeping your freinds close and your enemies closer. Ah, so Bridget now thinks it is time to call in the calvary, her associates, I fear for Joel's and Lisa' life in upcoming chapters. The guesthouse is a trap and will probably be bugged. BTW, great chapter CJ!

............. Not quite, Dirk only mentioned the Aires in passing to Trevor ... almost blurting out that she was not there in reference to Trevor's annual search in the Bihimas. He never disclosed in the chapter of the whereabouts of the Aires to Jim. Too me Dirk's fear of the water is closely related to his fear of the Bermuda triangle, frankly anywhere in the water raises his fears, so it may be just biased on his part.

Happy Birthday,Tarin! ...........Have a good one!!!

.........Great story Comsie! Loved that Riley followed through for 30+ years and surprising with Asher at his side.

............... Great story, I was almost waiting to hear HAL to start speaking near the end

....................Errrr! Have you noticed the difference from the 'catamaran the Ares, a fifty-five foot charter boat, and a thirty-nine foot Sea Ray powerboat." Currently named on the stern, 'Sea Witch' so guess other then the engines what can be salvaged?

.......Errr! No the Sea Witch is not a catamaran; From the early part of chapter 27; "The only vantage point Lisa could see was a view between some waterfront houses. She drove by slowly, looking intently at the thirty-nine foot Sea Ray powerboat." From that angle, she could see the name currently on the stern, 'Sea Witch' ...........and earlier in the prologue; "'Rachel had proved herself well suited for the task. Three years later, flush with cash from her very profitable businesses, Rachel, with Dirk's reluctant consent, had purchased Atlantis, a second catamaran identical to Ares.' Trevor taking on another passenger to help him sail sounds like fun! But I recall CJ saying something to the effect that part of the voyage will go by quick, I doubt he wrote in another character for the voyage to Australia.

Happy Birthday Bob! ..............Have a great one!!!

...................Lame Towelie!! LOL!!

...............Sadly, very true, this happened to me! I was forced to retire, although I only accessed GA mostly for chat a few years ago at work! Add one more thing to this, if someone sends you a racy or even a near nude pic, delete it immediately from your computer. I forgot to do that and it was the nail in my forced retirement. Of course everyone at work was doing 'everything' under the sun on the company computers at work, but the management got rid of the two most senior workers, and warned the others.

.............Except for one thing in the prologue; 'Rachel had proved herself well suited for the task. Three years later, flush with cash from her very profitable businesses, Rachel, with Dirk

.........It is cooling down here after hitting @ 109 a couple days ago, only 102 now!!
