Another great chapter, as usual. While it's great that Rachel and all are there to see Trevor and Shane, it's all too convenient for Gray. That will lead to interesting developments.
As usual your writing is excellent. I would like to point out an editing error at the beginning of the chapter. In the paragraph where they are in Brisbane and they are talking about the City Botanical Gardens there is one sentence repeated. The chapter is:
The other event scheduled was at the City Botanic Gardens, so they made their way back to the Zodiac and roared off, heading back downriver, where they moored at the foot of the river cliff, a low escarpment on the riverside edge of the botanic gardens, where a lone police officer was waiting. There, with Atlantis serenely moored in the background, they – mainly Trevor, though Shane signed a few – signed autographs, and then Trevor began telling of a few parts of his Indian Ocean crossing, while mentioning his coming book often. With Atlantis serenely moored in the background and apparently unmanned, they signed autographs, and then Trevor began telling of a few parts of his Indian Ocean crossing, while mentioning his coming book often.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter. While this story is longer than many others it continues to be exciting and a must read.
