But the fee would be for a passenger boat not an ocean liner or a freighter. Well it better not cost him more than $15,000 I don't think bartering the red and blue speedos is going to help or if they take kindly to two 17yo running naked in the canal locks then he won;t have much for food and repairs and maintenance

I am happy that Trev ok after that freak near accident. I can imagine Trev imagining his friends and father being horrified at his own death. I guess now he will be more careful and hopefully for Joel. hehe - I hope Joel - decides to stay with Trev for the entire route to austrailia. f**k school - seeing the world is one - but insuring the safety of his friend would be much more important. Look if Trev drops off Joel - its going to be five months before he gets to austraila and then to home in two months. If he makes it to austraila - I'm sure that his first time relatives are going to explode. Making the trip might be news worthy. But the adults will go out of their mind. I suppose its not going to take five months since he stay for a spell. Maybe four months or less. So he'll stay for 2.5 months before heading home. So far Dirk hasn't been contacted from Lisbon. Is Trev going to call from Gibraltar? Sure CJames says Trev is a teen that will get into trouble. More so than adults. Well - I have to say Trev is so lucky he's never been abused - that certainly would add more to the troubles. Well if Trev is trying to see if this will make a man out of him (cough, a gay one) I don't know if any of us would be a crazy or brave as Trev? or Would any of us have a friend like Lisa and Joel to be there for us? I suppose Trev does now know how much Joel means to him - that certainly he's gone on the limb for his friend. Now - I still wonder if now Joel would see Trev need of love and sex. There is no indication that Trev has relieved his sexual tension. He gonna explode soon and I hope Joel can help him out:funny: You can call that experimenting or helping out a friend. The favor can go visa versa since Joel wont see Lisa for 5 to 6 weeks that if Joel decides to return. I think in time Trev troubles will fade in his memory as he's busy to survive and make the journey. But as soon as he sets foot to relatives or seening Dirk again - all thats going to bring some thoughts - like will they forgive each other. Will Dirk learn to never push his son away? to be truthful? To be his son best friend?? It sounds like in the coming chapters that Joel and Trev will have such a bonding experience. Certainly they will much to talk about regarding things going on back home from all those concerned. Its surprising how Lisa father and Joels father isn't so much concern for Trev. Its heart break there's empathy somewhere except letting Joel go there. I hope Joel will fill us in on how his Joel dad feels about Trev and how he is helping through Joel I not sure if there's anything Dirk gave to Joel when Lisa and Joel visited him. I look forward to Joel reporting about Dirk? We have no indication what happen with Dirk since his sons disappearence. The story seems to center with Trev and maybe what Joel and Lisa have told him. So without any knowledge then know what going on with dirk is left to question. I hope Dirk wrote a letter to Trev being carried by Joel. We know that Dirk mouth gets him in trouble with his son. Too bad I'm a landlover by health choice. I'd love to be with Trev even if it was to give him so relief I look forward to Joel and Trev shopping for the important stuff. I wonder if Joel father gave more money for the trip and survial. I presume its pretty much a safe journey throu the med. Its the rest of the few months to austrila that can be dangerous It could be the sea or it could be other boats other pirates or the country itself that Trev be visiting. Sure Azores, Lisbon, and Gib ... turned out to be safe but who's to say other places are? more of that Teenage mischief to see Will Trev meet a gay boy along his journey will he have a stowaway after joel leaves him Will Trev make the journey alone in that final leg to austraila

I find Avatar not something new. Its really all entertainment and supporting the new form of movie making. Everything is artificial. In a few years they probably drive down that 500 million dollar cost. I think many people here can cite what similar movies is like Avatar. But the biggest reminder it sends is how we treat mother earth - and how we treat each other and how over populated we are. Through the eyes of aliens - they would most likely turn back to go home because they will instantly see how we are not one with out world. here's the first cite Pocohontas 1 and 2 They died with their Boots on Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West

First off - congratulations!! I'm sorry to say I have fallen off the writing horse. Its pretty much a year that I stopped writing. But any way I will look forward to your stories soon.

Happy Birthday!! yo ... Choose Adrian!!!

oww General Graeme will give him the VIP tour and the Key to grass hut!! for Circumnavigating the GA Authors australian group will ask Trev for his blue speedos to bronze them so the county can rememeber him when he returns home Trev would love to sail NAKED!! back home. he can sail to nebraska - just that the boat will be on a truck going to the pacific. so he can save on the panama canal toll fee yaa the Title should have been LUNCH because thats what they had oh - Dirk will be serving the 190 school days in jail for his son missing school!!! then serve jail time - for his son's death being a bad parent!!!

mmm could the ares be caught by the jet stream - but gosh trev going to europe?? for the summer to oct its ok but it seems he hasn't really though where he's going or has he?? he would go to austrailia via the artic circle? it sounds a bit navigable but still dangerous I think its best to go via the canada side - its english speaking not sure how the russians feel about it even though it much easier to navigate so if he gets to austraila and then spends time and hopefull gets the relatives there to be on his side - sort out the issues I wonder if after going thru a couple month voyage would trev be up to it for a return trip would trev consider being austrailian and leave USA? it also means to leave his best friends I'm surprise there aren't any relatives in USA for him maybe they're on dirk's side? ---------- Surprising the day wasn't really celebrated special just meals, sailing, and sex. well thats two out of three for Trev I see Trev was bit hungry for some buns?? its funny - though?? but it seems thats where they draw the line imagine if Joel be willing to do it to help out his friend - sanity?? would lisa be willing to share joel to trev from time to time??

so lets go ahead and show them heterosexuals are bad!!!

hey you're a phone call away or a click of a cam!! but you don't have to sacrifice your dreams unless you're not pursing them --- go for your dream --- when u got a job and a apartment - they can visit as much as you can visit them --- love transcends all boundaries - just prove it to yourself.

hey if Trever is in such of big mess - he might as well tell his dad he's gay then maybe dirk will let him go and stop hunting him down

I think Trev makes sense ... he loves the sea ... the charter hospitality maybe good for him while he's young and adventuresome and he said he would go to college to get a business degree there is a future for him just that he could use a dad that would be there for him and support him Dirk is the one writing his sons life So it sounds like Trev mom found out Dirk is gay and both went the divorce ... I guess she doesn't want a BI husband Now if only Trev could tell his dad he's gay too Maybe both may come to their senses since its not - we have chapter among chapters to circumnavigate with

nice to hear its still being written Thanks for the link and info

I wonder if Jim is Dirk BF?? Dirk sounds real guilty - walks like a good guy and quaks like one but really there isn't much good about the guy If worst comes the worst Trevor might have to put out somewhere else - not in the bahamas area. It feels bad that Trevor doesn't have a place to call home - only Atlantis for now. Sure hope he find a clue to his mothers death. Hope Julie and Joel go with Trevor - its still the summer - but then it be bad for them when they return home for school. I think Trevor would feel bad about getting them into trouble. I do feel for Trevor not knowing where his life will be. I guess in that respect I'm in the same boat as he is. But his boat is way better and he can fish or get more charters. Still its dangerous out there ... I guess that's more reason why Dirk is so worried. or is he worried that Trevor will found out what happen for real.

Thanks Tarin for the link Read a couple of the chapters good story - there's 35 of them Feel sorry for Dan - now that Tyler is falling in love with Derek and they haven't formally met. Will wonder what will happen.

Happy Birthday Rickster!!! (silver spoon days)

kinda feels like Pocahontas and Little Big Man and white man taking south dakotas blue mountain?

Maybe this thread should be moved to the soapbox If its funny then its funny there ... if gets a bit warm ... it won't melt the lounge chairs

I was re-reading the ending of the chapter. with my over active imagination - I imagine ---- Trev rubbed Joel's red speedo butt ... while Lisa was watching them ... Trev spoke "oh honey - I'll make it up to you!! ... here and now on the beach!!! if you like ... I'll launch you higher than the shuttle!!" Lisa watch as Joel shuddered again and wrestles Trev down to make him stop teasing him. Joel straddles on top of Trev and restrains both of his arms to send a message of stop!! Lisa notices that fun time is over - and spoke "come on boys ... the shuttle is launching ... and would you guys stop tenting down there!! People are watching you know!!!" The boys shocked at what Lisa said ... quickly got up in time to see the brilliance of light coming from the launching of the space shuttle!! The three half hugged each other ... smiling at how amazing the spectacle of the launch was and the comfort of their friendship. Lisa and Joel thinking the same wish as the shuttle launches "Trev needs to get laid - please god - help him to find love" God answered their prayers as they heard on the breach ... a radio playing "Ben most people would turn you away ... I don't listen to a word they sssay!!" Lisa and Joel started walking ahead of Trev holding hands ... Trev following behind them sort of feeling like a third wheel ... looked down at his feet while walking ... Suddenly Lisa and Joel quickly parted - Lisa moved left and Joel moved right to avoid someone coming towards them. Leaving Trev with an sudden collision ... It was Ben!! eating a vanilla fudge Sunday!!! dripping on its sides ... The radio played "Love is a many splendor things ... its ...." as the two collided!!! Joel and Lisa made a run for it to leave the two alone for a while. ----

Thanks for the reply cjames gosh it reminds me of an old game called around the horn. i remember the doldrums - yuck anyway the game restricted to ny to sf via the horn on clipper ships in the late 1800 the luck part was the time of year or picking up good speed to past thru the doldrums. pity trev couldn;t piggy back on a merchant ship if trev tried the suez he have to big time problem with pirates off of somolia

hey wildone - thats Joel but i think i like to both of them!!!! in a BI moment or a threes company - its ok one is gay. hey any one know which course would trev take to austrailia the long way going east or the short cut going west? but who would be chasing him - dirk no way well he could by airplane or helicopter hey any chance we see dirk praying his son is alive after a couple of weeks? or he wouldn't mind being a bachelor Hey with over $16,000 - Trev can hide the boat and fly to austrailia and come back easily like why make the trip by boat!! LMAO he needs a visa?? and he's a minor??

sorry to hear about your loss I hope the HR person gets on that managers ass.

Happy Birthday David!!!!

mmmm joel in red Speedos and he didn't sport a hard-on from all the attention!! Trev looking in his mirror image (joel) again !! but know that his mirror image can make Lisa happy. gosh I got sea legs like Dirk - sea sick expert I say Dirk didn't handle the situation well. Making too much waves to send his son over the edge especially about his heritage \ mother I though school was over and its the summer Hopefully the last charter is safe and not a take over by bad guys its sure is a mystery to where the story will go and what to wait six months to goto austrailia Wonder if trev would risk sailing there?? why wait?? Julie, Joel, and Lisa - add that to the pilgrimage then its a drop Julie to Tahiti and off to new zealand and australia

oh its going to a tough year until he's 18!! Like will his father sell the boat while he's in austrailia? or just do it now while he's underage!! Now the story is going to get jucier next week!! Gosh, I say what an adventure did he have!! Brave fool ... but I have to guess his mom was keeping him safe. His father is one a-hole to keep a secret for 9 years. Sounds like in those nine years - he's not been a great father. Trev is some independent loner ... I hope he finds a boy!! One that get into his shorts and goes to austrailia with him.

Happy Birthday!!! Now you're twinky!!!! Happy Birthday to your mom!! Wow its interesting that the both of you are born on the same month.
