well. N-joi

Breakfast The following morning revealed that there had been some
surprising couplings during the night but nobody complained at all. The
most interesting had been Archer finding himself in Rory's room. According
to Rory, Archer had been very clear at the outset that he wasn't interested
in sex with Rory, no offence.

"Remy is my man and I know he is okay with me having sex with another man
and I'm okay with him being with other boys, bit I feel like I would be
disrespecting him." Rory was highly impressed with Archer's reasoning as
well as his loyalty.

"I fully understand and honor your position and for what it's worth Archer
I am perfectly happy just to cuddle with you." Archer snuggled into Rory
and relaxed. After a moment he said softly,

"I never had a grandpa. Can I pretend that you're my grandpa?" Tempting
though it was for Rory to say something like "why not, the rest of the boys
do" he said,

"I would be honored to be your pretend grandpa." The boy seemed genuinely
pleased and seemed to snuggle in even closer.

We had all just finished lunch the next day, December 23rd when David
blurted out,

"Jesus Christ, will you look at that," his arm pointing out to sea. He
walked to the telescope and focused on the ship

"By God it's the Sea Spirit," Aaron said without needing the telescope. A
moment later David confirmed it.

"Goddamn but that's a beautiful ship", David said softly. Indeed it was a
magnificent sight, one that I'd only seen in movies. At full sail the 3
masted barque was simply majestic: a queen of the seas, harking back to the
day when the tall ships ruled the oceans and seas.  Heading north and even
as we watched, the sail set changed. "I wonder if they're putting in at Los
Suenos."

The boys that were outside all came clamoring into the house asking if the
men had seen the ship only to discover they were all standing on the deck
watching it. Someone suggested calling the marina to find out.

"Quick decision gentlemen," David said, "do we invite them if they are
docking?" Everybody was in agreement that they should. Aaron said they were
people to know both for business and sex. He suggested having the marina
get the Captain a message to call him, making sure he understood it was a
local call. Los Suenos was the marina right over the hill from them.
Ostensibly it was in Jaco but in reality it was closer to Herradura.

Aaron had ties to the ship by virtue of having known the owners since
1933. The short story was that Lucian Broussard, an extremely wealthy boy
loving businessman, and Aaron's father had done business for years and then
Aaron took over and continued the relationship. All of Lucian's adopted
boys grew up, had kids who had kids who also had kids so the current crop
was 5th generation. This ship, The Sea Spirit was commissioned in the
1950's and patterned after the original Spirit which had been built in the
late 1800's. The holding company still owned the original which was
currently doing a brisk charter service out of Florida.

According to Aaron they were all queer which he knew from first hand
experience since they first met when he was 14 year old although he hadn't
seen any of them for at least 20 years. The company changed their name to
Broussard Holdings in the mid 70's and the family was worth at least 125
billion dollars and held privately although they did own millions of shares
of blue chip stocks from all over the globe, multiple homes and a 700 year
old castle outside of London. Aaron said that at least one family member
would take the current young generation on a world cruise lasting a year or
more. His take now was that they were likely headed back to their home port
around Bridgeport Connecticut which wasn't far from where Aaron, Loren and
London lived.

Everybody went about their business and 90 minutes later David's Cell phone
rang. Again, the short story it was Willie Broussard the 4th, and was
wondering if it was a prank since he'd heard that Loren was dead. In fact
Loren had faked his death in order to avoid investigations by multiple
world organizations stemming from WWII.

"We'd like to invite you and your boys to stay with us for a few days if
you're interested. We're having a huge dinner on Christmas day and well,
I'm sure you know how the rest of the story goes although there are no
expectations of you and your group." Willie's response had been he did know
how the rest of the story goes and expectations or no he'd like to accept.
He was concerned about space considering he was bringing 8 people but David
assured him they had plenty of room.

"Besides, as you can guess, we'll all be doubling up or even tripling up,"
which got a belly laugh from Willie. So, Cody and Dane took a pair of their
SUV's to the marina to fetch their guests. Apparently on the way back to
the house the new guests were highly interested in meeting new boys and
men. When they found out that X3 were Dane's cousins and were there they
went ballistic, having seen the boys in concert that summer in Europe.

Dane and Cody came into the house and everybody stood while Cody introduced
Willie, a handsome mid 30's man with shaggy blonde hair who then introduced
his troop.

The youngest was Lucian, a beautiful 12 year old whose thick, blonde laced
brown hair was warn long. He could easily pass for a girl. Next were
Willie's sons Arutha a recently minted 13 year old and Willie 5 who was
14½. Both boys wore their sandy blond hair long as well. Both boys had
somewhat round faces but were not fat by any means. A set of twins, Ashur &
Azarius were 14 and were gorgeous. Their corn yellow blond hair was beyond
shoulder length. Unlike Willie's son, the twins faces were more angular,
Azarius's cheeks almost sharp in contrast to his twin.

Jesse, 14 sported a mop of black curls that hung down over his eyes and hit
the collar of the t-shirt he was wearing. A beautiful black teen was next,
14 year old Jamon whose hair was much like Magnus only longer and last was
Temple. At 16 he was the oldest and unlike the rest of the boys his dark
hair was boot camp buzzed. Temple had amazing light blue eyes and the most
sensuous lips possible for a boy. Over the course of the next few days they
would learn that some of the boys' names were carried on from the original
family. As it was they were direct cousins.

After going through the adults inside the house Dane led the lads out to
meet the boys and the adults chatted. Aaron was happy to see Willie, as was
Bill, and the feelings were mutual. Aaron explained why he had to "die"
without disclosing much information. He and Willie talked family history
while Loren and the rest of the adults listened attentively.

Aaron asked if they still owned River's Bend, the 700 year old castle
northwest of London and the answer was yes. It was currently open to the
public for tours and one segment of the family lived in a smaller home in
Herefordshire where Willie's great grandfather, the first Willie, had lived
during WW II when he flew for the RAF. The castle, which sat on 9000 acres
of land was filled with antiques and artwork and had a value that was sure
to exceed a billion dollars so the family tended to keep a careful watch on
it.

Willie explained that "the family" were all descendants of the original 8
boys that Lucian took in. Two of them were black brothers he took in before
Li Wing Ahn died and who he formally adopted along with the 5. Li Wing Ahn
had been an old Chinese woman who took in street boys. Her wealth when she
died was more than Hetty Green, the witch of wall street also known as
Howling Hattie. And nobody had a clue except her attorney.

There was also a boy he became a guardian of but didn't adopt because the
boy had a solid family that was very wealthy and wanted to keep his
name. Jesse spent his teen years with Lucian and the boys as it was the
only family the boy had. The last was Arutha, an English boy that Lucian's
grandmother had taken in. When she died Lucian formally adopted him as well
so Arutha lived with them from the age of 13. It is his descendants that
continued to manage River's Bend. Lastly was Xiou Chen, a Chinese boy who
was an early part of the family. He got his degrees in international
business with an emphasis on Asian commerce and finance then proceeded to
build one of the largest import export businesses in the country for the
organization and when he died at age 93 it was valued at 25 billion
dollars.

"They all grew up, most had children either through marriage, surrogacy or
adoption. Now a days we use a surrogacy agency. In all cases air tight
legal documents protected the men and the children. In marriage, the women
were well aware of the husbands sexual orientation and accepted it at the
outset or they were passed by. As for the surrogates, they were paid well
then sent on and a wet nurse already hired took on the nursing and caring
of a baby for 6 months then a nanny was hired. All of the women were paid
extremely well. Now, that might seem cruel to the children and babies but
the men all spent a great deal of quality time with the kids from
birth. Having vast amounts of money at one's disposal allows for such
things to take place."

In any case the original 5 continued to expand the family wealth by getting
college degrees that benefited the organization. Old Lucian was a highly
educated man and in fact was an educator. He impressed on the boys the need
to be highly educated in areas that benefited the "family". They became
lawyers, accountants, financial experts and there were even a few
politicians in the mix including ambassadors to foreign countries. Each
generation did the same thing but through encouragement does not force. We
still do. I earned my MBA from Wharton, 4th in my class. My cousins are
accountants, financial managers, stockbrokers and the list goes on. We live
well but not extravagantly, well, mostly not."

Shortly after the new boys stripped to swimwear and hit the pool David
chose to take the adults out to see the estate and Theres would be going
with them. He and Willie went to the balcony and told the boys and said
they'd be gone for a couple of hours.

Tobbi Speaks

"Okay guys, they just told us we have a couple of hours to play suck `n
fuck," Dane said. That got a round of applause. Seneca offered to go scout
and less than 5 minutes later he came out onto the second floor balcony
stark naked. By the time he made it downstairs everybody was naked with
cocks arising and what an impressive group.

With the new guests Temple was leading the pack with a clipped dick that
was bigger than Dane but smaller than Orion or the trips. Soft it looked
like a baby elephants trunk and hard it would go 8 and some change. Next
were Jamon and Jesse who were evenly matched except one was white and the
other a nice brown. Jesse was thicker and almost smooth, his moss likely
growing out from a shave. Jamon was thinner in the dick and his curly fuzz
seemed sparse, again, probably due to a previous shave.

The blond twins were gorgeous, their cocks pushing 6½ inches, also
cut. Arutha was almost smooth, a smattering of hairs trying to grow at the
base of a 5 inch cock, already fully hard. His brother Willie 5 matched the
twins for size but like his brother still had his hat. His fuzz was a small
patch, his low hanging sac smooth. Last was Lucian. The boy was completely
smooth but his balls were full dropped. His uncut cock looked close to
Arutha's in size.

All of the boys were slender with flat taut belly's and all the creases and
crevices deep enough to create a very nice definition. They were all tanned
head to toe which indicated that life on the Sea Spirit was clothing
optional, as in no clothes. Everybody took a moment to eye ball everybody
else. The new crew of course was highly interested in the triplets and were
thrilled at the size of the sausages between their pale thighs. There was
equal interest in Orion's hose as well. Not that they were all into big
cocks but let's face, they're fun to look at.  Even when you have one.

They started matching up and London made a grab for Arutha who was headed
for London. Temple caught Seneca; Orion hooked up with a twin while the
other one got Evar. And the list went on. Dane and I spread out the lawn
blankets then found partners as everybody else had.

"I wanted to be with you the second I saw you," I heard Arutha whisper to
London whose response was to pull the boy close and kiss him while slowly
sinking to the ground. The boys were cuddled up, kissing deeply with hands
a roaming. For the time being they avoided cocks but London did have to
brush Arutha's hair back away from his face a few times although he didn't
mind because the longer hair made Arutha seem even more boyish and besides,
he got to rub the cute boy's face.

Not far from them Majie and Lucian were going through the same motions with
Majah seeming to take the lead. Currently he was sucking on the preteen's
cock with a vengeance. The youngling's hands held the sides of Majie's head
while his body writhed from the intense feelings flooding his young body.

I had hooked up with Willie 5 and we went through the same things that the
other couples were. Kissing, hugging and fondling each other before getting
down to cock sucking. As stated, he was 6½ inches and uncut. We ended up
in a 69 sucking each other's cock and since Willie was on top, I tugged him
down and rimmed his asshole and licked his swinging balls.

I saw too that Dane and Evar had tackled the twins and were busy sucking
their cocks side by side. Archer had snagged Jorgy and they were going at
it like rabid dogs. Archer could be extremely aggressive with sex and made
no bones about it what so ever. I heard London and Arutha agree that London
would fuck him first then Arutha would fuck London.

Willie told me he was ready to be fucked and I was more than ready to fuck
him. We went through the lubing process then he got on his back and spread
his legs while I got into position between them. Willie decided that he
wanted to be slightly on his side and have me drape his top leg up against
my shoulder. After I got my cock inside of him I moved the leg then got
down to the business of fucking him.

I had never done this position before and found it to be fun probably just
because it was different. I did allow me to see my cock going in and out of
him which was always fun for me. Probably for most boys. All around us boys
had mounted up and were fucking. One of the twins was on his face and Evar
was fucking him from above. Dane had started out behind his twin and fucked
him like that for bit before getting the blonde god on his back and power
fucking him that way.

I had managed a steady rhythm until Willie told to go full out so I started
fucking the boy hard. I alternated how I did though by rabbit fucking him,
then slowly pulling out of him and slamming back in so it was slow out fast
and hard in. Willie seemed to like that method and encouraged me by telling
me that. When we finally got ready to take it to the house I just fucked
him hard causing the boy to grunt each time I slammed into him.

It didn't take long before the sounds of cumming started. You could always
tell by the crying out, and by the verbal's. "Fuck me hard" was
common. "Make me cum" was another then there was the combined version of
both statements. Regardless it was clear that sperm was being ejected by a
dozen and half boys.

"I want to cum with your cock up my ass London," Arutha said. Please, I
really need to cum from you fucking me." London said he was close.

I heard Archer cry out, which was a counterpoint to Jorgy's louder
bellow. Seneca was getting his ass pounded by Temple and making all kinds
of racket that sounded like a boy being beaten as well as pounded. "On my
back London," Arutha panted, "I want to see your sweet face when I cum,
knowing it was you who made it happen." London moved in close and slipped
his cock up the boys' ass.

I heard someone else cry out as they came and then another one. Did that
have an effect on their own orgasm? Difficult to say but as the second
person's voice died down both Arutha and London's cried out as their bodies
let go and their sperm began pulsing out. Both boys were moaning loudly and
their bodies seemed to quiver just a tad. For both of them it was an
intense sperming.

All the noise of cumming got me there so I announced it and Willie said he
was ready too. Less than a minute later I was creaming in the blonde boys'
hole. I heard one of the twins cry out that he was cumming then second one
said he was as well. I wondered if that happened to them a lot, knowing how
close twins could be, I mean.

And soon it was over and all I could hear was heaving panting. Then London
and Arutha began talking sweet nothings to each other. Apparently it was
one of those love at first sight things according to what I heard them
saying. Arutha was practically saying he'd love London forever.

Are you guys gonna share each other," Dane asked.

"No," I said, "we are going to be selfish with our bodies." The green eyed
cousin dropped to his knees next them then leaned down and kissed London on
the mouth.

"I thought so the second you laid eyes on each other." He kissed his cousin
again then kissed Arutha. "You guys make a cute couple," he said, then to
Arutha, "take care of him. I'll make sure our boys leave alone." That said
Dane got up and wandered back to the group who were reforming into new
configurations.

"That was a little weird," Arutha said.

"How so?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"I dunno, it's just a feeling I guess. And how would he know about us with
only one look?"

"Dane is my cousin and he has a very special gift. He is often able to tell
a lot of things about a person without even talking to him. By that I mean,
it's like he gets a vibe, or intuition about people. If they have a deep
secret he can tell. He won't know what the secret is but he knows it
exists. It's kind of spooky but all of us who know him understand so it
doesn't bother us or even surprise us. He can even talk to people in their
heads, it's called telepathy." Arutha's eyes were as big as saucers.

Needless to say I could confirm all of that because of my own experiences
with the 16 year old. Everybody had finally separated and jumped in the
pool to clean various body parts. They started hooking up again with
different partners.

Axel and Jamon began kissing on each other while Archer found his way to
Temple. Willie and I sat that one out and just talked. I had a zillion
questions about being on the sail boat and he willing shared what it was
like. I was sorta jealous. I mean, what an adventure that would be. About
15 minutes later Dane's phone rang.

"Listen up guys. The men are on their way back so you've maybe 5 minutes to
finish and get clothes back on." Needless to say, all those pumping asses
picked up speed which increased the volume of moans, groans, and
comments. Jamon actually put a little more back into it and less than a
minute later he started spraying Axel's inside with thick globs of
sperm. That caused the sperm recipient to shoot and in turn flooded Luca's
mouth to a point where the boy had to take his mouth away which got his
face sprayed with cum.

Everybody hit the showers and as they were finishing Dane announced the
adults were on the property. The boys had barely gotten dressed when the
adults came out onto the main floor deck to announce their presence. And
the presence of Javier and Angelo who literally raced down the stairs to
join the boys. Both boys made a bee line for me since they hadn't seen me
since Easter week and gave him the same reception they had given me, tight
hugs and long kisses.

The two Latino brothers were introduced to the boat crew along with Majah,
London & Magnus, Archer and Axel. Naturally the hugs and kissing procedure
was repeated.

Toby Speaks

"I thought you were dead," I heard Rory call out. I turned to see Austin
and his lover Canyon appeared on the deck with a 3rd person whom they
introduced as Kit.

"Never heard that before." The newcomer shook Rory's hand with enthusiasm.

"I don't believe that for a second, I'm Rory.

"Christian but everybody calls me Kit."

"How many call you River?"

"I'll be goddamned," Andy said. Someone else uttered a `no shit'.

"Yeah," Kit replied, "I get that a lot."

"May I," Rory asked and got a head nod and explained to the group which
elicited comments by others who recognized him. In fact, Rory was spot
on. Kit looked almost identical to a 19 Year old Phoenix. His center parted
brown hair hung past his shoulders front and back and at least 2/3 of it
was a sun bleached blonde He sported the prominent cheekbones, deep blue
eyes and sensuous lips. In other words, he was cute as fuck.

The crux of it was that Kit had approached Canyon looking for work, Canyon
being the recently hired head of recreation for the resort. While Canyon
had never met the young man he knew him from the sports world as a
competition surfer. Kit then explained his creds so the group who felt very
positive about him being on the team and directed Canyon to put him to work
and get him up to speed.

Dane had wandered in and listened to the conversation and after the trio
had left said, "and he's queer," which got questioning looks from those few
who didn't know Dane well and understanding looks from those who did. "And
yeah, he is what he presents himself as. Good kind honest. We boys are
going down to the beach."

After Dane left Cody had to explain Dane's talent to those who didn't know
him.

The rest of the afternoon was spent chatting casually and talking
business. A few hours later the boys returned, their raucousness heard
before they even entered the property. Barbara had excused herself and
headed back over to Austin's house so David addressed the sleeping
arrangements with Willie.

"The boys make the choices so unless you say otherwise, you'll likely find
1 or 2 in your bed. While it's possible but unlikely you could end up
alone."

"Not likely," Rory said and was seconded by the others.

"I have no problem with that either way," the man responded.

Dinner was another excellent meal thanks to Austin and Elizabetta and
afterwards everyone just lay about belching and farting. Bill asked Barbara
if she'd care to take a walk on the beach and she accepted.

"What do you suppose is going on there," David asked casually. To be frank,
I was wondering the same thing. Tobbi and I had already discussed it and
agreed that it was looking like a burgeoning romance which was unsettling
on a variety of levels. Having known Bill for many years, Remy was at a
loss as to how to explain it as were the others who knew him.

The evening wore on and Aaron decided to turn in but not before giving
London a long tight hug and telling the boy he loved him. He repeated it
with Loren. Bill and Barbara elected to turn although not together. Theresa
went with them as did the two chefs.

The boys started dividing up the men. The twins made a bee line for Rory
and asked if he wanted to be with a pair of cute boys. Rory looked around
and said sure, where are they.

"Oh no you don't. You aren't getting away with that," Ashur declared then
quickly dropped his board shorts in front of the man. His twin followed
suit, or un-suit as the case may be.  London and Arutha only had eyes for
each other. Archer hooked up with Luca and Dane with Willie 4 and from
there everybody seemed to find a partner or even two.

Angelo had insisted that Willie 5 fuck him. Willie had been forewarned
about the diablillo pequeño so was prepared for the young boys'
assertiveness. The next day Willie would tell Rory that being with Angelo
was like being caught in a whirlwind. The kid never slowed down even when
he was getting fucked. Rory told him he knew it well; he had been caught in
that whirlwind too.

Eli and I ended up with Jorgy and Evar in one bed which made for a very
interesting episode. I had seen the boys naked but had never been with any
of them so it was sort of a treat for me. As for the boys, they moved
between Eli and me seamlessly, working our mouth and cocks and balls with a
great deal of enthusiasm. Having practiced on each other since they were
young, handling large cocks was not a problem for them.

"I have heard much about you and Tobbi," Evar whispered to me, "so having a
chance to be with you both is quite exciting." I kept my excitement to
myself. I was thrilled to be in bed with one of the hottest and most
popular rock stars on the planet. I didn't want to tell him that of
course. The fact was that I was thrilled because he was a very hot boy with
a very big cock and a libido to match.

There wasn't much difference between the two boys. If one's eyes were
closed I could tell. They kissed alike, they fondled alike, their responses
were always very similar, and of course their general stature including
their magnificent cocks were identical. We went through a good 15 minutes
of going from person to person and activity to activity which I found
rather refreshing and interesting.

We finally settled in, me with Evar. We went through the usual making out
stuff again. He asked if I minded being rimmed and of course I said not at
all. Again, Evar showed me his expertise although I don't suppose there is
much of that when licking an asshole. I guess it was like everything else;
he did it with a great deal of enthusiasm.

I did him the favor as well and when we got down to the final act he stated
that he'd prefer to get fucked than be fucked but would be more than happy
to pork me if I wanted him to. I was fine either way so we got him lubed up
and I fucked the shit out of him.  Next to us Eli had chosen to bottom so
Jorgy plowed the man's ass. Now, I have to say that the trips had dynamite
butts but watching one in action like that was just plain exciting.

Evar wanted to go through a couple of positions so we started out with my
on my back and Evar riding me. It's always fun to do that position from
time to time, to just lay back and let a boy do his thing. With Evar it was
especially fun because of who he was, his long blonde hair and of course
his big fucking cock bouncing around as he moved his delectable ass. The
kid was a beauty, they all were. He moved that delectable every which way
before deciding to change.

Where we went was into a sitting position with Evar on my lap and my cock
buried deep inside his ass. "I always like this position because of the
closeness," he said as he kissed on my face. I love the amount of body
contact and the cock in my ass at the same time."

I agreed wholeheartedly with the boy. After a moment or 3 we moved again
and got him on his back, without taking my dick out of him, and there I
fucked him good and hard. Next to us Jorgy was crying out as Eli fucked him
into a cum which in turn brought on Eli's sperming. They finished and
separated then lay spooned up with Ali holding the boy while they watched
me pound his brother's pussy. That was kind of fun all by itself, being a
live action porno display.

Evar finally hit his peak and did so with a fair amount of volume and I hit
mine as well but more quietly. As we were finishing Eli and Jorgy hit the
shower and then Evar and I went in to clean up. Done, my guests decided to
head out, Eli to bed and the boys to join the group. I stayed and drifted
off to sleep only to be woken a little while later by Archer climbing into
my bed. He gave me the same speech he'd given Rory, no sex just cuddling. I
had no problem with that because he was indeed a very cuddly boy.

Shortly after one the morning I woke suddenly, got out of bed and left my
room. I found Willie 5 standing in the hallway and asked what was going
on. He said that Dane woke up suddenly, said something was wrong with Aaron
and went to tell David and Cody. I knew then that was what woke me up and
was sure it was Toby although it could have been Dane through Toby.

Both men came out of the bedroom to find Willie and me standing there and
we all went to Aaron's bedroom. David did a light knock and got no response
so they gently opened the door and went straight to Aarons' bed. Cody bent
down to Aaron's head and listened. He then place two fingers on Aaron's
carotid artery. There was no pulse. He put the back of a hand against
Aaron's cheek and discovered that the body was already cooling. Cody pulled
the blankets over the old man's head and they all left the room.

"Well that sucks," Dane observed then asked the rhetorical question of
"what are going to do now."

"I'll take care of it," Willie said. "Last night after dinner Aaron
cornered me and asked a favor. He asked that if he died here in Costa Rica
would I please bury him at sea. I said that it would be an honor. It wasn't
a casual ask, he was dead serious, no pun intended. I called the ship and
talked to our doctor. We carry a couple of body bags in the event of an
accident at sea. Doc James will certify the death, just to be safe and we
can transport the body to the ship and cast off first thing in the
morning. It would be best if we get him here right now then get Aaron's
body on board while there are few people out and about.

"Sounds like a plan. Can you get on that please Willie. I need to wake up
Loren." A few minutes later Cody knocked loudly on Loren's bedroom door
then opened it and went it. They both came out a moment later and Loren
asked if anyone knew where his son ended up. At that moment London, along
with others, came out because of all of the talking.

"What's going on dad," London asked when he saw his father. Loren explained
that Aaron had passed so at the moment they were enacting a plan to deal
with it.  London was clearly sad but not grief stricken. Dane came into the
living room fully dressed and ready to go get the Doctor. As he started
toward the front door he stopped cold.

"Did you get that Dane too," I asked and Dane turned to look at me.

"He's okay," Dane said softly, "he's with young Toby." Willie was shocked.

"You mean the dead boy. He talked to you?"

"Yes and no," Dane said. It was more like a thought popped into my
brain. It said, Aaron is fine, he's with me."

""That's what I got as well," I said.  At that moment young Tobbi found the
rest of the group.

"What's going on, I just had the weirdest thought." When Dane asked if it
was about Aaron he got a head nod and asked what it was.

"It was like, Aaron is fine, he's with me." Willie was really shocked now.

"Okay, well, I'm going to go get the doc," Dane said and headed out the
door.

"How about we crack a couple bottles of wine," David suggested and didn't
get a lick of push back. While they sipped wine Willie repeated what Aaron
had said the night before."

"He knew," Rory said, "this sort of thing happens more frequently that
people know." They continued to chat. Willie said the ship's captain had
already been made aware of the plan.

"Can I assume everyone will want to participate?"

"Probably," David said, "Can you handle that many people?" Willie nodded
his head and said it wouldn't be a problem. Dane showed up with Doc James
and a few minutes later and Aaron's death was certified. They got him
loaded into the body bag and then into the Telluride. Willie had 3 crewmen
waiting at the dock to get the body on board. Willie went with Dane in the
event that anyone at the marina wanted to investigate what was going
on. They were back within 30 minutes; everything having gone smoothly.

All that done, everyone trundled off to bed.

By 8 the following morning everybody was aware of the situation as well as
the plan and as predicted, everyone wanted to attend the burial. Getting
the crowd to the ship was laborious requiring two trips using a 10
passenger van from the resort and both Tellurides. At 10 o'clock they cast
off.


The ships boy residents took 5 person groups on a tour of the beautiful
lady, and beautiful she was. Her woodwork gleamed, as did all of the brass
and metal fittings. The furniture was sumptuous and very comfortable. In
some respects it was hard to believe they were a ship and not inside a
magnificent mansion. Most of the staterooms were large and loaded with
antiques and even sported fireplaces, gas that is. In many, the ceilings
were coffered and in others the walls were adorned with valuable
artwork. The owner's suites were huge and looked like a luxury apartment.

The Spirit was manned by a crew of 20 and usually when at sea the boys also
worked the ship, all of them having sailed since they were toddlers. All of
the boys were intimately familiar with all aspects of sailing, their size
and strength being the only thing preventing them from fulfilling some of
the duties.

It took a bit for the newcomers to get their sea legs but fortunately the
sea was calm so by the time they returned to port they were all walking
about with ease. It took a couple of hours for the Sprit to be hull down
meaning that the hull of the ship could not be seen from land. However they
went further so even the mast could not be seen.

At 5 miles out Aaron's body was moved from the hospital room to the bow of
the ship. It was shrouded in a burlap sack with a series of manufactured
openings along its length. It was weighed down with lengths of steel
alongside the body whose weight totaled 75 pounds. The holes were designed
to allow water to flood inside immediately but their secondary purpose was
to allow sea life easy access to begin the process of feeding. The sooner
the body was consumed the less likely it was to return to the surface and
thus would never be found. This little fact was told only to a few of us

A 15 foot length of loading ramp with rollers on top was set up at the
ships rail. Everyone was gathered around the main deck and the second deck
balcony while the body was brought out and laid on the ramp. The captain
delivered a short eulogy based on Loren's knowledge of the man then the
ramp was raised until gravity took over and Aaron was remanded to the
sea. The ship was still moving at 12 knots so passed the body in seconds as
it disappeared beneath the waves.

Elizabetta was the only one who shed tears because she had a long history
with Aaron and knew him very well. London was sad but doing alright. He
hadn't known his grandfather for much more than a month.

Austin helped in the kitchen to put together lunch which was simply steamed
hotdogs, potato salad and chips. As they were eating Bill had asked Willie
about pirates since the waters off of Africa were rife with them and south
America as well as the Caribbean was rapidly catching up with Africa.

"We have multiple non-lethal security systems. For starters our radar
detections system as well as sonar systems are second to none and includes
small nodules on the hull to detect smaller surface craft and we carry
multiple drones with explosives on board. We use LRAD which is an acoustic
defense system. We run a drone detection and defeat system which has a
range of 20 kilometers and creates a 500 meter electronic `exclusion zone
which renders a drone inoperable. We use Dazzle guns, which send a
debilitating green light up to miles away.

"Over and above all of that, the Spirit isn't just a pretty lady but she is
a pretty lady with some very large teeth. There are 4 skillfully concealed
50 caliber machine guns on board each with 10k rounds of ammo. We also
carry ammunition for a half dozen anti-tank launchers as well as tear gas
guns. We have automatic rifles as well as hand guns stashed all over the
ship. Every member of our crew is assigned a battle station in the event of
an attack and all are crack marksman and attend a refresher training every
single year. That includes the boys as well.

"There are a few other surprises, some of which are illegal, but that's the
gist of it. We've only had one encounter and that was off Madagascar. It
was a night assault and they were totally unprepared for million plus lumen
search light we carry. I won't go into details but I will say that we
escaped unscathed. They did not."

London and Arutha returned to the group after an "at sea" fuck in Arutha's
cabin.

"Hey son," Loren said, "enjoying the shipboard experience, not counting the
reason for it?" London said he was and was sad for the loss of his only
grandparent but was okay."

"You two seemed to have gotten quite close," Loren said with a gentle
smile. They were standing there holding hands, a sure give away. London
nodded his head.

"Yeah dad, I really like Arutha a lot." He squeezed his lover's hand in
affirmation. Arutha leaned his head on London's shoulder and added,

"Me too, I like London a whole lot."

"You make a cute couple," Bill opined. The grouping broke up and went their
own ways. Nothing else of importance happened and the Spirit docked around
3pm. Back at the house everybody was a little sluggish. It was a little
late to be trying to put together a large and impressive Christmas eve
dinner. The chefs decided to make a giant batch of twice baked potatoes.
They cooked up 5 pounds of bacon and 3 pounds each of pork sausage and
Italian pork sausage. A half dozen red, green, and yellow bell peppers
along with onion and garlic were diced up. Once the meats were done they
combined everything, added salt and pepper 3 pounds of shredded sharp
cheddar, topped off with a sprinkling of paprika and tossed back into the
ovens for 20 minutes.

According everyone it was a more than satisfactory meal.
