Happy Birthday Billy!!!! ...........Have a good one!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN RICK! ................Have a good one!!!

...................Yep! But still the goat thingy is out there. Scar did a lot of pretending too!

...............Don't even bring up that 'want to be hero" ............yep, he had no problem boarding the boat to disable it did he?

................Ah, but you only have Dirks word that he is afraid of the sea! Think about it, yet think about a cliffdwelling goat in his evil ways! This is then same goat that gave us 'Scar' in previous encounters in stories.

...............Ah, but you have the goat writing here! #1 That would be very cruel to Trevor, to take his mother away for so long, and unless it was for his own safety, I don't buy it that she is still alive. (chokes own words in later chapters) And Dirk has only presented 'nothing' to discount her death to his son. Why is he so taken by his son's visits to his mothers grave? Is he concerned about his safety? Not too evident in the last conversation with Jim, they both seemed to be relieved that Trevor was not continuing the search for his mother! Problem I see, if the gov. is involved, why the re-interest in the case by the locals?

............. Yep, sounds innocent enough, the scenario you placed is what I thought of it, but we are dealing with a cliffhanging goat and you know what that means!!

............Sure! What's for dinner? Ribbit or Bleat?

..........................The goat keeps hinting to us that something is going on between Dirk & Jim! "I'll get it ready. I have a few other ideas that I'm pursuing at the moment, and I'm hoping that they'll bear fruit and make the suit superfluous. I'll tell you about them when I see you in person. Are you still coming up tomorrow night?" Jim asked. "I'll be there," Dirk replied. Interesting! Was reason for the divorce filed because Trevor's mother found out Dirk was cheating on her? Somehow, I can't think that Dirk had anything to do with her death, but if he did, is his fear of being on the water just a rouse? Great chapter CJ, just keeps getting more interesting!

............Not to mention that you were not eligible! (Someone goofed .. 'cough') I'm glad you brought this up, I totally spaced about it! But the write in nominations are in

................I have no idea, what you mean!

..............Leftovers tonight, also known as cleaning out the fridge!

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

...........Not allergic to milk but I don't drink it (Milk is for calves), that said no cereal except oatmeal!

...............Shush! Story goes towards the monkey!

............ Hmm, many theories! If Trevor's mom is in a witness protection program and the feds staged the accident, you would think that they would have closed up any loopholes and not let an investigation continue. If Dirk and his wife staged the accident for protection of themselves without help from the outside, I can see the problem Dirk has created. Whatever secret Dirk is holding that he cannot even divulge to his lawyer?? Whatever Lisa and Bridget come up with, I'm sure the police already have that information in their hands. Meanwhile, if Dirk does locate Trevor and Joel in Gibraltar, will he have enough time to get the authorities involved? Or will it be a race to get through the Suez canal? Great chapter! I'm sure CJ has some great monkey stories left to tell?? Haha! I think we will just be getting speculation here, the answer is waiting in Australia.

:ranger: .................LMAO Ricky!!! I remember reading that scene at the church, and I loved it!!

..................Great chapter CJ, almost ended the entire story before it started with Trev taking the spill overboard. Well, that was one mistake he will never make again. I'm glad Joel is going to be with him for a portion of the voyage. I see a problem ahead, looks like Trevor plans to go through the Suez canal to reach Australia. ......"I'll get to see the Seychelles and Mauritius on my way to Australia." A very perilous route, considering Iran patrol boats, and pirates running around in that area of the world. Another thing is the fee associated with using the Suez canal, I tried to calculate it, but someone didn't give out the tonnage for the boat! It could be very expensive!!

Happy Birthday Mr.Greg!! ...................Have a great one!!!!

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

.............Except that would make no sense at all, if Trevor's mother is alive and well in Austraila. The resentment Trevor would have for his dad may never be forgiven. Why would he allow his son to go dangerously looking for the missing mom, if she was alive and well? And remember Dirk is already consulting his lawyer about possible ramifications should Trevor uncover 'something'. The other mystery is the lawyer, Dirk's weekly jaunts are possibly to see him.

.................It does look it it will be a long parting from his friends with Trevor deciding to sail north. I'm guessing he is headed to Canada to pick up a crewmate! After all, the clue was clearly given;

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAIRY .............Have a great one!!

Happy Birthday Alek!!! ..............Hope is is a good!!

Happy Birthday, Joey! ...............................Yall have a good one, ya hear!
