Chapter 37

I saw we were about to receive another visitor. This one was in a motorized
wheelchair.

"Jake, you still remember how to rig a bosons chair?"

"It's been a while, but I can manage."

I climbed down onto the dock. The man approaching appeared to be in his
early sixties.

"I apologize for the fucking paparazzi. Have the same problem every time
someone famous comes in here. I'm Heinz Dieter, Manager of the Marina."

"I'm Ed Somers. No need to apologize. I should have known they would
eventually find me."

We shook hands.

"Very nice yacht Mr. Somers. Very nice indeed. I can see her patrol boat
lines. We used to have a few Vosper's in the South African Navy. Very fast
they were."

"Would you like come aboard?"  "Well I would love to, but as you can see,
I'm not exactly able."

"Jake, are you ready?" I called up to the yacht.

In answer our loading derrick swung out with bosons chair attached. It
stopped not two feet from Heinz.

"Do you need a hand?" I asked.

"No I'm good thank you." He swung himself into the bosons chair.

As Jake swung him up, I climbed on board.

"Hoist his chair up to Randy."

"Aye, aye Sir."

Jake had helped into one of the easy chairs in the lounge. A few moments
later Randy dropped his chair on the deck. After helping him back in.

"Damned efficient crew you have Mr. Somers."

"Please call me Ed, Heinz."

You have done a wonderful job of converting her. This really is a beautiful
Yacht Ed. I envy you."

"Well sometimes I wonder. She is both a wonder and a pain sometimes."

"Well from what I have read about Sandpiper and her crew, you Sir have done
some pretty amazing things. Is Sandpiper really armed as they say?"

"Yes we have a 76mm under the bow and couple of M60 Machine Guns."

"God I would love to see her at speed. I remember on the old Vosper doing
about 45 knots, but I have heard Sandpiper can do double that. That must be
a sight to see." Heinz said with a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Well that might be able to be arranged." I said.

"God I would give almost anything for the chance."

"How about quid pro quo?"

"What exactly do you have in mind?" He asked.

"Well I plan to move Sandpiper up the coast. Probably to Still Bay. I am
booked into the Dunes. I think I will inform all my crew that is still
ashore to come there to reboard Sandpiper. However I still have my Jeep
sitting on the next wharf. I would like to get her up to Still bay too. If
you could arrange to have the Jeep moved and also allow us to refuel and
refill our water tanks, plus drain our sewage, I would be inclined to take
you for a spin so to speak."

He pulled a cell phone from his pocket and speed dialed. After talking a
few minutes he hung up.

"Fuel truck and water bowser will be on the dock in about 30
minutes. Sewage truck will be here when she finishes a couple of other
boats. I'm not sure about your Jeep. I don't drive anymore."

"Ed, I can take your Jeep back to Still Bay." Mamoo piped up.

"What about your vehicle Mamoo?"

"Well, I will move it into the Marina Parking lot and if Mr. Dieter agrees
I will leave it there to pick up later."

Heinz made another quick call.  "Stop by the office. They will have a long
term parking permit for you. It's good for up to a year. We have some
owners here who take off for a long time and leave their vehicles here."

While we had been talking Jake had been on the cell phone too.

"Okay Ed, all the shore leave guys know we will be at Still Bay."

"The dunes must be very happy you are staying there." Heinz said.

"Well it is a beautiful location. We have one of their bigger units, but it
did not seem too busy. Why I am not sure."

"Well it is the off season, but the Dunes is in receivership. The Bank owns
it now, so anyone they get off season is great for them."

I saw a light go off in Jason's head. He took off. Jason was still our
accountant on board and also was always on the look out for investments for
the Sandpiper Corporation. I knew what he was doing now. I didn't say a
word.

A few minutes later Singh came out of the galley.

"Will you be staying for dinner Sir."

"Yes he will Singh."

"I'm not sure you met Mamoo Heinz. I have given him exclusive rights to
Sandpipers Story. Again as a favor to me. He brought my two boys and one of
my Sons back to Sandpiper from Still Bay."

They shook hands. I am sure that Heinz did not know Sandpiper had an all
Gay crew.

You must be very happy about that Mamoo."  "Yes indeed. It is something I
have always dreamed of."

"So you will be staying onboard I take it. That must also be a dream."

From the way Heinz said the last, I may just be wrong in my assumption, but
never said anything.

Heinz, Mamoo and myself enjoyed a dinner of curried chicken, orange duck,
and a ice cold smoothie for desert. As usual my chefs out did
themselves. Heinz was very enthusiastic in his praise.

I eat very well on board with these boys in the Galley. Need lots of
exercise to keep my middle in line." I laughed.

Jake came in and said all tanks are full and our sewage tanks were now
empty. Jason came in smiling. They both sat down and Jami served both. A
few minutes later Randy came in and sat down for a late dinner.

"Heinz, we will stay here tonight and move to Still Bay tomorrow, probably
sometime before noon. How about coming down around ten. We can get you to
Still Bay and I'll make arrangements to get you back here later."

Sounds good. Now if your good Captain can get me off, I'll be gone."

A few minutes later we watched him motor off down the wharf.

"Were you serious when he said he figured I would be staying on board?"

"Well I don't think you are going to get all the Story, with Sandpiper only
being here for less than a month. I am presuming you will want to interview
all the crew. With over half still on leave that means they will not all be
available to you at any one time. I'm sure we can find a place for you to
sleep."

"Well I just never thought about it that way."

"Well if you want the whole story, you are welcome to join us."

Even as I was talking Gary and Jer came in and sat beside me. I wrapped one
arm around each. Absentmindedly I kissed both and just hugged them.

"Damn, now I wish I had my cameras." Mamoo said.

"Well why don't you go grab your gear and anything else you think you will
need and be back aboard by ten tomorrow. We will stow your gear and you can
run my Jeep down to the Bay."

"Sounds good." He got up and left.

"Is he going to be staying on board?" Gary asked.

"Yes, he's going to be writing a story about Sandpiper."

"Cool." Jer giggled.

"I know what you are thinking my horny love."

"Ed, I'm always horny when I get near you."

"But you might interested in Mamoo too right."

"Well if he's on board all the time it might be interesting."

Later after everything had settled down for the night I went to find out
what Jason had found out about the Dunes. Apparently it was not the only
resort in the area in receivership. However the Dunes was the newest of the
hotels available. It did have a few short comings. Even though Still Bay
was an excellent anchorage, there was only one small marina in Still
Bay. That was a government owned marina. The Dunes did own a wide swath of
beach, but had never considered building a marina. If it had a large and
well equipped marina, it would attract high end customers. I figured one of
the reasons it had not been picked up by one of the larger chains of hotels
was its cost. Appraised value was close to 60 million US. Very damned
expensive, even for me. The primary lean holder was Lloyds Bank.

"Check what else you can find Jason and let me know. Sixty million is an
awful lot of money."

"Okay Ed." Jason wandered out of the office.

I opened my email account to check to see if anything important was
pending.

"SHIT!" I said out loud as I read the last one.

What the fuck do I do about this one. I sat back to think.

I knew what I had to do almost at once. I quickly went online and looked up
the charter aircraft in South Africa. Finding Hudson General had an office,
quickly dialed their number.

I booked a Challenger Jet for a trip overseas. I asked them to have it in
Cape Town in two days. I also booked a helicopter to pick up me and all my
boys in Still Bay for the same day. My Credit Swiss Credit card ensured all
would be ready.

I keyed the ship wide intercom.

"Siam, would you come to my office please." I said.

Siam came prancing into my office. He stopped and looked at me.

"What's wrong Father?"

"Come here Son." As he got close I pulled him onto my lap.

I looked at his huge brown eyes. Damn this was not something I wanted to
tell him.

"Siam love. I had some very bad news for you. Your father was killed in a
fire and your mother is in very serious condition in hospital in Bangkok."

I watched the eyes get huge and brim over with tears. I just pulled him
into my chest. All I could do was hold him and comfort him as he cried his
eyes out. After he settled down, he leaned back.

"What about my brother Bobby? Does it say anything about him?"

"No love. I didn't know you had a brother."

"He's two years younger than me and was staying with my Father."

"Well if he wasn't mentioned, I'm sure he's okay. Now I have booked an
aircraft to take us all to Bangkok. We will fly out in two days."

"Really Father? Your going to take me to see my Mother?"

"Of course Son. You are very important to me."

"I love you Father."

"I love you too Siam. Very, very much."

"Now, would you like me to tell your brothers or do you want me to. I'm
taking all of them too."

"Could you please Father."  "Okay love."

I called all my boys to the office. Simon was the first to perceive
something was very wrong.

"What's happened Father?"

"Siam's Father has been killed in a fire and his Mother is in serious
condition in hospital. We are all flying out in two days to go see her. I
want all you boys to pack for ten days. Make sure you pack good clothes for
when we visit Siam's mom. That includes you too Singh and Jami. You two are
still my boys. If it is okay with you and Jer, Gary. I would like to sleep
alone with Siam tonight."

"Of course love." Both boys echoed.

Each boy in turn came up and hugged Siam. The love they showed in their
eyes for him just made me so proud, I could call them my Sons.

I asked the boys to take Siam down stairs. I told them I still had a few
loose ends to clear up. After they left I made a call to Sal Hula in
Bangkok. I was told he was not available at the moment but they would have
him call me back when he came available.

Siam and I slept together that night and although he was rock hard, I knew
all he wanted was to cuddle next to me. It didn't help that laying next to
him made me hard as well, but I just held him close. He had a very troubled
sleep, but I am sure with my arms around him he at least felt safe.

We showered together in the morning and he thanked me for staying with him.

"I'll always be here for you Son."

It did not take long before everyone knew what had happened. All my crew
were very sympathetic. All made sure someone was close to him if he needed
a shoulder to cry on. Sal Hula called me early after I had just finished a
very good breakfast. I took the call in my office.

After explaining everything to him I asked the question upper most in my
mind. I asked him if he could Find Siam's brother Bobby.

"Ed, what you are asking is almost impossible. There are thousands of 18
year old boys in Thailand. Finding one will be very difficult. Now if he
has any kind of record here, it might be easier, but I am afraid it might
not be possible."

"I know sir. It's lie looking for a very small needle in a huge haystack."

"I owe you and Sandpiper a lot Ed. I will try for you."

"That's all I can ask. Thank you."

That out of the way, we prepared to move to Still Bay. Mamoo moved his gear
on board and then took off to move my Jeep. Heinz came on board about ten
and we prepared to get underway. At about eleven AM, we slipped our lines
and Jake backed us out into the bay. It had not been lost on the reporters
that we had refueled and restocked Sandpiper. I fed the rumor mill more by
saying we were headed for the British Virgin Islands. I hoped that no one
would find us again when we hid in Still Bay.

Jason has carried Heinz up to the flying bridge. He was now seated in one
of the comfortable chairs. I sat on the port side as Jake took the controls
on the Starboard. With less than half our crew on board the other boys just
filled in positions as necessary. Heinz was very impressed.

"Take us out about twenty miles Jake. We can exercise the weapons for Heinz
too then."

"Aye aye Sir."

Sandpiper really did make an impressive site as she slowly increased speed
and moved up onto her foils. Jake slowly increased speed until Sandpiper
was moving at nearly ninety knots over the water.

"God she is a wonder. Not a vibration." Heinz said.

The big US flag stood straight out as we skimmed across the waves.

After moving off shore a little over twenty five miles, Jake popped two of
our lifeboat canisters over board.

"BATTLE STATIONS." He said into the intercom.

With the smaller crew, no one would be in the loading bay for the 76, but
the ready magazine held 40 rounds so it did not matter. Jake hit the switch
to bring the 76 up.

"Locked and loaded came from Singh on the sixties."

"Stingers ready."

As Jake swung Sandpiper in a big circle, the two lift boats came into view
along way away. The 76 swung around and Jake hit the fire button. The crack
as the 76 went off made Heinz jump. He watched as the one after another
water spouts fell around the orange raft. Six rounds were fired and first
raft disintegrated in the short barrage. As Sandpiper sped in towards the
second raft the sixties opened up. The rounds walked right up to the raft
and soon after it started to sink.

"Secure all Weapons." Jake said into the intercom.

The 76 sank back below deck as Sandpiper sped by the spot where the two
lifeboats had sunk. He then set the course for Still Bay and sat back.
"God almighty. This is some kind of Yacht." Heinz said.

There wasn't much talking as Sandpiper headed for Still Bay. It was not
lost on either Heinz or Mamoo, that Sandpiper in reality was a warship, not
just a pleasure yacht. No wonder every reporter in the world wanted to get
aboard her. A few minutes later Singh brought up a tray of beer. We all
just sat enjoying the ride to the bay.

"I would hope Heinz that what you just saw doesn't go any further than on
board here."

"No problem Ed. I am very impressed and I can see why you would want to
keep quiet about her capabilities."

"Thank you sir."

"No, no, thank you. I haven't felt so alive since my Navy days in the South
African Navy."

Jake slowed Sandpiper as we entered Still Bay. He anchored offshore and
Randy and Jason quickly swung out two Zodiacs. We lowered Heinz into Zodiac
along with his chair and took him to the small dock at the Dunes. Jason
helped him into my Jeep and drove him back to Cape Town. I took my boys
back to the Dunes.

Jake would be in command of Sandpiper while I was away with my
family. Jason said he would have all the information to put the Sandpiper
Family Corporation before we got back. We would then discuss weather we
wanted to invest in the Dunes or not. We would not inform either the bank
or the Dunes of our interest.

The boys almost by silent agreement left Siam and myself alone the night
before we left. This time Siam wanted me.

"I want all of you too love." I said as we necked on the bed.  I held him
flat on the bed as I slipped my tongue down over his smooth chest. I sucked
first one of his cute tits and then the other. I slipped lower and slipped
his very hard spike into my mouth. He moaned and moved under me as I played
my tongue under and around his cock and balls. I pushed his legs up and
dove into his sweet ass with my exploring tongue. He wreathed on the bed as
I worked my tongue into his very nice pucker.

"Oh god please fuck me." He moaned.

His long drawn out moan of pure pleasure almost made me cumm right then as
I slid into his very tight hole. Going very slow I slid in and out of him,
even as he cried for me to ram it in hard and fast. My first load filled
him and he almost swooned in pleasure. I started to speed up, hammering my
cock into him. He wrapped his legs around my waist, holding me and pushing
up to drive my cock deeper into him. After a very long and loving time I
finally unloaded into his tush a second time. I held his legs up as I
pulled out. I dove in with my tongue savoring my cumm and his very tasty
ass juices that dripped from his open hole. I finally slipped up and necked
again with him. His tongue darted into my mouth searching for his and mine
sweet juices. I finally laid back and just held him.

"Oh Father that felt so good."

"Your turn Son, I want you inside me."

Even before he entered me his tongue drove me almost nuts as he rimmed
me. Gary had taught all my boys very well in the true art of rimming. I
could not believe how good it felt. I too almost passed out as he entered
me. Siam was such a passionate lover he could drive me almost insane. His
fast strokes followed by slow and easy would bring me to a new high almost
every time we made love. Even after filling twice with his sweet load he
continued. Finally blasting a third load he pulled out and dove down to rim
me of the sweet juices leaking from my hole. After necking and sharing we
slumped together in a warm embrace and slept.

In the morning we drained each other and continued until we took each
others load. After a very long shower we dressed for our trip.

"Thank you Father. Thank you for everything."

"Son you make me love you more each day."

I went down and told the management that I would be gone for ten days, but
to continue to hold my suite. I also booked several more for my crew. I
also warned them that if word leaked that Sandpiper and crew were here we
would just move out and they would loose all the revenue involved. I didn't
tell them I was investigating them on the idea of buying the resort. Very
soon after lunch a helicopter landed on the beach and I loaded up my boys
for the trip to Thailand.

We boarded the White Challenger at the Cape Town airport and soon were on
our way. The trip would not be direct. The Challenger did not have the
range to fly direct. We would also have to change pilots at some point,
which meant we would have to land somewhere where Hudson General had an
office. From Cape Town we flew first to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, then to
Mumbai in India. We changed pilots for the trip into Thailand. Almost 19
hours to fly half way around the world. My boys were a very tired bunch as
we set down in Bangkok. The aircraft was led into a hanger by a follow me
vehicle. As it shut down I looked out to see two stretch limos waiting
along with Sal Hula.

He greeted me and all my boys and I introduced Jer and Jami. He welcomed
both to Thailand and after loading up took us to the Hilton hotel, where he
had booked suites under his departments name. He rightly assumed I would
not want to advertise my visit to Thailand. After getting the boys into the
suites, most just wanted to shower and sack out, Sal took me out of the
suite to talk.  "Finding the brother of Siam was pretty easy. He is working
on one of the pleasure Islands you own."

"Two gay boys in one family. That is unusual." I said.

"Ed, you need to understand something. I don't know if he is gay or
not. Working on one of your islands is one of the best jobs a lot of boys
can find in Bangkok. I know for a fact that not all the boys working are
gay. It is very good money to work for you."

"Siam's Mother is at the Royal Bangkok Hospital on the fourth floor burn
unit. She is in critical condition and Bobby has visited her. That was one
of the ways I found him. Do you plan on taking him with you when you
leave?"

"Well I guess that will be up to Siam and him. I won't force him too, but
if my Son asked me to and he wants to come along I will."

"I'll arrange for papers for him just incase."

"That would be very kind of you Sir."

"Ed, I and my country can never repay you for all you have done here. It is
no problem to help you all I can."

"The limos are at your service anytime you need them. Don't worry about the
costs either. My Country is footing the bill."

"You know there is no need for that."

"Just another small way to say thank you Ed."

"Ed, I also need to warn you that the Chinese Government may want you to
testify. There are several men under indictment in Hong Kong. As far as I
know no trial date has been set, but I am sure they will want to speak to
you."

"Well I'll cross that particular bridge when I get to it. Now if you will
excuse me I need some sleep."

"Of course Ed. Remember my office is always open to you."

We parted company and I climbed into bed between my two lovers. Even as
they cuddled up to me sleep came very easy. After a few hours sleep I felt
much better. I got all my boys up and told them to shower and get ready to
visit the Hospital. With Siam's Mother still in critical condition I didn't
want to chance he might not be able to see her if she took a turn for the
worse.

I dressed in grey slacks and white shirt with dark blue blazer. The
Sandpiper logo was on the breast pocket. I was both honored and surprised
when all my boys came out dressed the same. I hugged each in turn. After a
cup of coffee we headed down stairs to the lobby. We must have looked a
sight as we trooped across the lobby and out to the two stretch limos. The
trip to the Hospital was very short and I ushered all the boys inside. Siam
enquired about his mother and we led up to the floor she was on. Siam had
to put on a gown and mask before he entered her room. The rest of us waited
outside. About an hour later Siam came out and said his mother wanted to
see me. I donned the same gown and mask and entered the room again with
Siam.

The small frail looking women in the bed beckoned me closer as soon as I
walked into the room. As I got close to the bed he reached out with one
very thin hand. I gripped it gently.

"Siam says you love him? Is this really true?"

"Yes Mamn. I love him with all my heart."

"You promise to take care of him and Bobby?"

"Of course I will. I will always have Siam and Bobby if it is his choice
beside me."

"Thank you. Now I am happy. Siam you love this man. He is yours now."

Siam rattled off in Thai to his mother. After a few minutes he turned and
wrapped his arms around me and cried. I heard the beep of the machine
slowly go silent. Siam's mother died happy her son had someone to care for
him and love him. I took Siam out and turned him over to his brothers.

I went to the head nurse and told I would make arrangements for Siam's
mother. She told me she would be held in the Hospital morgue until I could
have her picked up. We then all left the hospital and went back to the
hotel. I could only hold Siam as he cried.

After he was feeling better, Siam told me he wanted to bury his mother
along side his father in their hometown. I said I would make the
arrangements. I told the boys to take care of Siam. I would be back in a
while.

As soon as I was out of the suite, I called Mo and asked him to arrange
transportation for me to Phucant. I also told him I wanted to Siam's
brother Bobby. He said a launch would be at pier nineteen when I arrived. I
told the limo driver where I wanted to go and he took off. After boarding
the launch I looked over the busy harbor of Bangkok. I couldn't believe the
number of boats and launches that plied the water. The launch was very
quick to tie up at Phucant. Mo met me on the dock and led me up to the
office. When I walked I saw a boy I would have a hard time not mistaking
for Siam. He was identical to his brother right down to the big brown eyes
that seemed to just pull you into them.

"Bobby, I'm Ed Somers. Siam is one of my adopted Sons."  "He's here?" His
eyes got just so much bigger.

"Yes, he is waiting to see you at my hotel. Do you want to come and see him
now?"

"Can I Mo?" He said to the manager.

"Of course Bobby. That is why Ed came here."

"Bobby, you should know your mother died this afternoon after seeing Siam."

"I know, she was only waiting for him. I'm glad she got to see him." The
tears started down his face and I walked over to him and pulled him into my
arms. That opened the flood gates and I held him as he cried his eyes
out. Holding him was like holding my son Siam.

After he settled down.

"Lets go Son and see your brother. I'm sure he wants to see you as much as
you want see him."

We headed back to the dock and boarded the launch. The Limo was still
waiting and quickly took us back to the hotel. Booby started to shake
almost as soon as we were on the elevator.

"What's the matter Son?"

"He's going to be mad because I'm a boy toy now."

"I don't think so Bobby. Siam asked about you as soon as he found out about
your Mother and Father. All he wants is to see you. He won't hate you for
working in the same place as he did."

"I'm just not sure." He said.  We walked into the suite. All the boys had
changed out of their suits and now were just in underwear. Everyone stopped
dead in their tracks as they saw Bobby. Before anyone could speak Siam
walked into the room from one of the bedrooms.

"BOBBY!" He almost screamed and rushed into his brothers arms.

Very quickly both were in tears as they hugged each other. I just moved
away to give both brothers space. Very soon both brothers were sitting
talking rapidly in Thai. Gary and Jer came over and sat beside me. I hugged
both to me. Soon after that my other boys came over to share a few kisses.

"Boy, they look like twins." Jer said.

"Don't they?" Gary said.

"I'm not sure I can tell them apart." Jer giggled.

I watched the two brothers talk. Bobby looked at me several times as they
both got caught up. Finally Siam came over to me.

"Father, can Bobby come back with us. He has no one here now."

"That's up him Son. I won't force him."

"He says he wants to Father."

When Siam said that each of my boys pretty much took it out of my hands as
each went to Bobby and welcomed him to the Family. Each kissed him and
hugged him. He was in tears long before even two of them hugged him.

"I guess that pretty much answers your question love." I said to Siam.

When all the boys were done I went to Bobby and pulled him into my arms and
held him.

"Welcome to my Family Son. And you will be another of my Sons."

He just melted into me. Very much like Siam. How could I not love this
sweet boy. He was a carbon copy of his older brother.

I lifted his head and kissed him. He answered the kiss and I really had a
hard time distinguishing him from Siam.

Even though it was a pretty solemn time the boys got quickly into a party
mood. Very quickly they opened up beer and gathered around the two
brothers. I never really had doubts about how my boys would react. They had
so much love inside each of them they could share it with the world or just
Bobby. They welcomed him to family like he was no more than a long lost
brother. It made tears come to my eyes as I watched them.

Sal Hula called and expressed his regrets at the passing of Siam's
mother. I told him of Siam's desire to have her buried alongside his Father
in their hometown. He told me he would make arrangements. I also told him
Bobby would be coming back with us when we left. He told me his papers
would be ready when we needed them.

After things settle down, Siam and Bobby came over and sat down beside
me. I kissed both boys. They just cuddled up close to me.

"I love you so much Father. You have made so many dreams come true for me."

"Son, I will always do all in my power to make you or any of my loves
happy."

"Can I call you Father too? Bobby asked.

"Bobby, I wouldn't have it any other way. You are just as much one of my
sons as Siam."

He hugged me so close it was almost hard to breathe.

"Will you love me like you do my Brother?"

"If that is what you want Son."

"Oh I do Father. I really do."

"Boy are you going to be some tired before we get back to Sandpiper." Siam
giggled.

"Well boys, it's a pleasure when you make me that tired."

"Your not mad at Bobby because he became a boy toy on the Island?"

"Of course not Father. It's not like we didn't play around when we were
younger. Bobby always knew I was Gay, but he didn't know one way or the
other. I have always said he had to pick his own path. I guess I am glad he
is like me."

"What about you Bobby?"

"If I said I can't wait to feel you inside me like you have been inside my
Brother, would that answer you?"

"I guess it would." I chuckled.

I flew to Bangkok with seven boys and now would fly back with eight. One
more loving boy did not matter. I would love them all as much as I could
manage. Might really have to get a manager to handle all my commitments
now.

The three bedrooms of our suite got a lot of use over the next few
days. Gary and Jer were back in my bed every night along with one of my
other boys. Siam and Bobby always slept together. Catching up, I
thought. Neither came to my bed before we headed inland for the funeral of
Siam's and Bobby's' mother. The funeral was again a copy of the last
Funeral I had attended in Thailand. I made the appropriate donation to the
Buddhist temple and the funeral I could only watch as I didn't understand
the words or the ceremony. Both boys were very happy after it was over. We
headed back to Bangkok. Sal Hula presented Bobby with a brand new passport
and exit papers.

Almost exactly ten days after we arrived, we climbed aboard the gleaming
white Challenger for the trip back. A bit longer at 23 hours, we were all
relieved as we landed at Cape Town.
