Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 00:56:41 +0930 From: tony carwana Subject: Matt 1 I'm Matt and I am 13 - and 6 weeks. This is the start of a journal I promised Mum & Dad I would keep of my trip on the Mary Anne. We are a nudist family, my older sister, me, my younger brother and younger again sister and Mum and Dad and also all four grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins you name it. We heard about the Mary Anne from friends who knew someone's son who went on it. He thought it was fantastic so Mum and Dad made some enquiries and asked me if I'd like to go. They did not tell me much about it except that there were a total of 12 boys and 3 professional seamen running the show and I had to be able to swim 200 metres and be OK about nudity. I started asking questions but they just said, `Trust us, if you are happy with that then give it a try.' I wanted to know all sorts of things but they just said that the skipper ran the show and he preferred that the boys knew very little before they came on board. They learned from the other kids who had been through it and there was a 4 week trial period and if things didn't work out then I could come home. This was the beginning of the summer holiday and there was one spare place. So here I am on the plane bound for the Mediterranean to the airport nearest to the Mary Anne. I had said goodbye to my family and felt a bit of a wrench as I would be away for 3 months. I only had a small back pack with me as just about everything was to be provided when I arrived. I have got my CD player but I am only allowed to bring 4 of my favourite CDs. That hurts, I had to decide what to leave behind. The flight is only 1-1/2 hours and the cabin crew are coming round with little boxes and drinks. The little boxes turned to be interesting with a sandwich thing, chocolate biscuits, little thing of water and milk and sugar for tea or coffee. They also handed out other drinks so I had my favourite apple juice and drank the milk too as I don't drink tea or coffee. There was also a banana. I didn't think I was feeling very hungry, probably a bit home sick but once I'd tasted the sandwich it was good. Anyway everything went and they've just cleared up. The pilot just announced we'll be landing in 15 minutes and its 29 degrees, a little warmer than at home. I was only wearing shorts, sandals and a sleeveless T shirt, my favourite one, so should be OK. Just coming in to land now so more later. Woa! its now over 24 hours since we landed and have I been busy - and had fun! There are things in here that are for my eyes only - so Mum and Dad - and anyone else - if you have picked this up and read this far - STOP NOW! Fairs fair - I trust you, you trust me. I will produce an expurgated edition for everyone. We landed OK and taxied to the terminal, small but adequate. The airline staff kept tabs on me and made sure Skip collected me. They seemed used to this and knew him so must have done it before. 'Hello Matt, how was the flight?' He shook my hand as he looked me up and down. 'You'll do', he said, 'any more luggage?' 'No Sir, only my backpack' I replied. 'Just call me Skip, Matt, everyone knows me as that.' He led the way out to the airport car park to an old but neat and tidy Toyota Landcruiser. As we set off he said, 'Now one or two ground rules, when someone tells you to do something in relation to the boat, you jump and do it. If you don't know how or have not been shown then sing out and say so. It'll take you a week to grasp the basics. The other boys will all have their eye on you to help, but keep an eye on them too 'cause they love a joke and a prank so just have a laugh with them and they'll soon take to you. Are you feeling scared or nervous?' 'Yes Sir - Skip, I am a bit.' Thinking about all the things he had just said I was feeling nervous and because of that a bit homesick probably but he seemed a good guy. 'I'm not surprised but give you a couple of days and you won't know yourself. Now, there are three watches, port, starboard and fore. You will be in fore watch and Ben is the watchkeeper, he is 15 and been with us over two years now and is a very good seaman. He'll look after you well. The others in your watch are Ivan 14 and Jo 13, just a bit younger than you. Now as well as running the ship, there's the galley and cooking and cleaning up, school work and free time.' 'School work?' I asked a bit astonished. 'Ah - you are still awake!' I looked at him wide eyed, 'I'm on holiday!' He looked at me grinning. 'Now as I was saying free time. In your free time you guys can do whatever - depending on what the ship is doing. The only rules are about free time are be back when you are supposed to be, sign off when you go ashore and you DO NOT GO ASHORE ALONE - underlined. Got that?' 'Yes Skip.' 'Good - now if someone asks you to do something and you do not want to just a polite no thank you will suffice. If someone says no to you - same goes. Now we will be at the dock in 10 minutes.' He picked up a pair of speedos and tossed them over to me and said, 'These are for you.' 'Oh, thanks,' I said. I looked at them, they were made out of a shiny stretch deep blue material and I thought mine were small enough but the sides on these were no more than a bit of string. I unzipped my backpack to put them in but Skip laughed and said, 'No don't put them away, put them on! The boys made those especially for you. They all wear them, they did the original design years ago and the tradition has always been that when a new kid joins he has a pair to wear on board. Hurry up you'll just have time to change and stow your gear you've got on before we get there.' What the hell I thought as I kicked off my sandals and pulled my shorts and jocks off in one go. I pulled the new speedos up my legs and the scant size of them started to turn me on. Oh hell! I thought, just when I don't need to pop a bone! I glanced across at Skip and he was watching me out of the corner of his eye as I pulled them up and tried to get my erection in before it got completely out of hand. I blushed and felt my face go red. 'That's why they designed those things so small,' Skip laughed, 'It turns them on wearing them and they love to see if a new guy is turned on by them and gets a stiff.' We were into the town now, such as it was and swung down to the dock and I saw the Mary Anne for the first time. I later learned that she was a fishing boat converted to take a full crew of 15. Skip drove past her to the parking area. By now I had my shirt off and had stowed all my gear and my sandals in my backpack. 'You can leave you sandals on 'til we get on board if you want to, it's a bit rough going over to the quay.' I always went barefoot at home so my feet were fairly hard so I said, 'Should be OK Skip as long as they haven't sprinkled any tin tacks in the way.' I hopped down, the ground was warm but not too bad to walk on so I walked round to Skip's side of the truck. He looked me up and down. At least my cock was only half hard now, but I still blushed a bit under his gaze. 'OK if you're sure,' he said, 'but don't do rash things just to prove a point.' He tousled my hair and gave me a grin. 'Do you think I ought to put my sandals on then?' I asked. 'You boys make your own decisions Matt. You might do OK and walk across there without hopping and limping but you would look pretty stupid if that did happen. No one will think any the worse of you for wearing them.' I dropped my backpack and quickly put them on. 'Wise choice son, plenty of time to show us how tough you are - or aren't!' He grinned. 'Come on lets go and meet the mob and show off that great little body of yours.' I looked at him a bit startled. I thought I had a reasonable body and a reasonable suntan but I was a bit surprised by his comment. He grinned and led the way over to the Mary Anne. I hoisted my backpack over one shoulder and went with him, shoulders back and striding out. Yes, putting my sandals on was a good idea, the ground was not so much rough as sharp, it would have been uncomfortable with bare feet. We reached the boat and there were a number of boys around on the deck and two on the quay. One of the tallest put his hand out to me and said, 'Hi Matt, welcome aboard the Mary Anne.' I took his hand and shook it and stepped onto the deck. 'Hi Ben. Thank you, I'm glad to be here.' Skip was right, all the boys were dressed the same as me in these mini speedos. I thought I had a suntan but I looked white compared to this lot! They all had their hair cut short, mine was a mid length mop, how I liked it. 'You can take your sandals off now you're on board and I'll take you down below to stow your gear. Follow me,' said Ben. He dropped down the companion way just for'ard of the wheelhouse with me right Benin him. He waited for me at the bottom and said, 'How did you know I was Ben?' I shrugged and smiled at him, 'Just guessed you were,' I said. He laughed, 'Your bunk is here next to mine as you're the newest member of our watch. I can keep an eye on you. Here's your locker, you can dump your gear in there now and I'll give you some sheets for the bunk.' He went over to a locker and handed me two sheets and a pillow case. 'Put those on your bunk then you can make it up when you get time later. We're going to get under way now so come on up.' He went to the ladder and waited for me and gave me a hug. 'Good to see you, now I've got a full watch.' I hugged him back quickly, he felt good, his skin was warm against mine. It was turning me on! He turned and went up on deck with me right behind him. He pointed to the wheelhouse and motioned for me to go in. He also motioned to the 2 boys at the bow and then the 2 at the stern and they let the lines go and pulled them on board and the 2 boys on the quay quickly jumped on board. The breeze was blowing off the shore so we started to drift away from the quay. Two of the boys started to hoist the jib and the other 2 helped by several others started to hoist the mainsail. Ben was now in the wheelhouse and pointed to the wheel and said, 'Steer port 10,' and pointed to the rudder indicator and put his finger on the 10 mark on the side painted red. I took the wheel and spun it round until the indicator came onto the 10 mark. I looked out to the bow and she was slowly swinging round towards the harbour mouth and starting to pick up speed as the sails caught the wind. 'Ease to port 5,' said Ben. I eased the wheel back and the indicator was on the 5 mark. 'Port 5,' I said. The bow was now just clear of the one breakwater at the harbour mouth. 'Compass heading?' Ben asked. I quickly looked down at the compass and noted that it was marked off in degrees from 0 at south and north and 90 at east and west on both sides. Our heading was south 25 west. 'South 25 west,' I sang out. 'Steer south 21 west' said Ben. I watched the compass card swing and as it got to south 22 west I put the wheel to midships and watched her swing just past 21 so I eased the wheel to starboard a degree and settled her on 21. 'South 21 west.' I said. 'Ease to south 18 west' said Ben. I eased her off again and sang out, 'South 18 west.' when the card was on 18. I looked up and we were almost to the harbour mouth. We slipped through right in the middle and the bow lifted gently to the slight swell of the open sea. The jib was now up and sheeted home and the main was nearly there. Ben came over and put his arm round my shoulder and gave me a hug. 'Well done Matt,' he said, 'you've sailed before haven't you?' 'Yeh, I've crewed with my Dad and sailed his boat but it's a bit smaller than this.' 'Yeh, but the same principles. Put the course up on the board there and I'll fix the log. I'll show you all that later.' I chalked it up and Ben entered the log up. He stepped out of the wheelhouse and talked to Skip who had been standing just aft while we came out of the harbour. He had left Ben to bring her out and was standing there chatting to another man. As Ben turned to come back into he wheelhouse he said, 'OK Skip?' I heard Skip answer but did not hear what he said. Ben slipped his fingers into the top of his speedos and they were down and off and he was naked. As he stepped through the door I couldn't help but look at his body. He was the same dark tanned colour all over and I focused on the beauty of the boy bits hanging between his legs. He ran his hand over them to separate them out after their confinement. His penis was beautiful, uncut, perfect proportions, brown and a trimmed bush of pubes over the top. I suddenly realised I was staring and guiltily looked up at his face. He had a grin on it as he watched me watching him. I blushed. 'God, you look sexy when you blush!' he said. 'Sssoorry,' I stammered. 'Don't be. I feel flattered that you enjoy it so much and we don't use the sorry word on the Mary Anne. If you like looking then look, I enjoy it and tell me you like what you see or whatever.' He dropped his hand back down to stroke his cock again and I couldn't help but look at it again. I did a double take then because the thing was growing or it was bigger than when I had first seen it. I felt mine stir having him so close, naked. 'You can take yours off if you want to,' he said. I looked out at the other boys who were now all naked as well. My God I thought if I strip off now I'll be as hard as whatever. My cock twitched at the thought. I noticed Ben look at the bulge in my speedo. He smiled and said, 'Don't worry about a stiffy, we all get them and enjoy it. We're all young boys with hormones and it happens and we enjoy being naked and being naked with an erection. You take them off when you feel ready.' 'Will I be the only one with them on?' I asked. 'Yep, except for Skip, the No 1 and Chief. They will wait for a while until you strip and are comfortable with it.' 'But won't they laugh at me for having a hard on?' 'No. I told you we all get them and it feels good when other people can see you and we like seeing the others all stiff as well. It's natural.' Another boy stepped into the wheel house, he was just a little shorter than me but well built and brown all over. 'This is Jo, Matt, he's in our watch and he's going to take the wheel now so I can take you below and issue the rest of your gear and you can leave your speedos in your locker if you want to.' 'Hi Matt, pleased to meet you, we heard you were coming, how old are you?' said Jo as he held out his hand, I took it and we shook. 'Hi Jo, I'm glad to be here, it looks like fun on board. I'm 13 and 6 weeks, how old are you?' I couldn't help but look him over and liked what I saw, dirty blond hair streaked light by the sun, good sized cock with a tuft of pubic hair above and his ball bag hanging below, his skin had the healthy shinning brown colour of a boy out in the sun most of the time with no sign of lighter patches. 'I'm 13 and 4 weeks so you beat me by 2 weeks! Aren't you going to get naked then?' 'Yeh, I guess so' I laughed as I pulled my speedos off, my cock was behaving itself a bit better while I was talking to Jo, who straight away looked down to inspect me, causing my cock to stiffen a bit. 'Not bad, we'll soon get you with a real sun tan although you have a good start. You look about the same size as me too, we'll have to check that out sometime!' 'Yeh, OK we'll do that!' I said. 'Tell Jo the course and we'll go below then,' said Ben. 'South 18 east,' I said. 'South 18 east,' Jo repeated. I stepped out of the wheelhouse and Skip and the other man were still just aft talking and Ben motioned me over and said, 'Excuse me Skip, could I introduce Matt to No1?' Skip stood back and motioned to the other man and Ben said, 'No 1 this is Matt, he's the new addition to our watch. Matt this in No 1.' I put my hand out and said, 'Hello, No 1.' He shook my hand and said, 'Hello Matt, welcome aboard! How did you go taking her out then.' 'OK thanks, No 1, or at least I think I did 'cause we didn't hit anything and Ben was there if anything went wrong and he would have taken over.' Ben had his funny little smile on his face and was shaking his head at me. 'What do you mean?' I asked him. 'I wouldn't have taken over, you could do the job and I knew you had been sailing before.' That rocked me a bit and reminded me of the sailing I had done with Dad. That made me feel homesick again and I felt a tear in my eye and I looked at Skip and No1 and Ben and suddenly felt that I was going to cry. Ben stepped over to me and gave me a hug and said quietly, 'You did OK, well done. Hey, its OK if you want to cry, it does you good.' My arms went round him and I hugged him back just like I did with Dad when it all got too much. That felt so good and then Ben rubbed the back of my neck and kissed me on the forehead and Jo ducked out of the wheelhouse and joined in the hug and soon there were boys from everywhere joining in and we all had a big hug and all these naked bodies were touching me. 'Thanks Ben,' I whispered, 'and thanks to all of you, that was great.' ' 'So OK,' said Jo, 'we're always here for everyone and we all love a big hug, it makes everything go! Hey meet the rest of the gang, this is Ivan, the other one on our watch, that's Pierre, watchkeeper on starboard watch and Mark, Cliff and Luke, then there's Sam, Tony and Greg from port watch but Juan is not here yet, he'll catch up with us in a bit. So now you've met nearly everyone and we're pleased to have you on board.' I nodded to them all as Jo introduced them and those that could gave me a pat or ruffled my hair. 'Hi everyone, pleased to meet you all. I feel better now, I just lost it a bit, thanks guys.' The mob broke up and Ben led the way down below and said, 'Right now we've got a few minutes to spare so I'll give you the rest of your gear.' He went to a locker and took out 3 pairs of white shorts and 3 sleeveless t shirts that had the boat's name on the back and 'Matt' on the front and a blue fleecy jumper that had the same, 2 pairs of lightweight wool trousers that came to mid calf length, a yellow oilskin coat and hat and a life jacket and 3 towels. 'We don't often need to use the towels,' he said, 'if we're at sea we just stand around on deck and dry off.' 'Thanks,' I said, 'this stuff is great, and the shirts and jumper already have my name on!' 'Yes, we make all the gear on board except the oilskins and lifejackets and all the clothes are marked with your name on, we finished them off last night.' 'Gee, thanks fellas'. I put all the stuff away in my locker. 'Later on I'll show you where other things are stowed that you may need, lets get back on deck now.' Ben went over to the ladder and turned and gave me a big hug. 'You're OK, I like you.' 'Ooooh, that sounds like it could be dangerous!' I said 'I like you too.' He kissed me again but on the cheek this time. 'You trying to get me stiff?' I asked. 'Anytime! Come on time to get on deck.' He went up the ladder, giving me a beaut view of his anatomy, especially the bits you don't normally see when standing next to someone. I was going to enjoy being on the Mary Anne! By the time I got on the deck I was not right up but I was not right down either. Everyone was congregating by the side of the wheelhouse. I could hear an outboard motor and from around the stern a zodiac appeared being steered by another naked boy. He was a little bigger than Ben and was the same all over brown colour. He lifted his hand in a querying gesture and Ben made a thumbs up sign and the zodiac veered off away from the boat. 'Ivan, Jo, get the main down please, Matt lower the jib.' I went to the mast and dropped the spare jib halyard on the deck and freed the halyard and lowered away, Ben gathered in the sail as it came down and I helped him. I made the halyard fast again and Ben put a couple of gaskets on the sail to stop it flapping around. He broke out the sea anchor and handed it to me and said, 'Stream that out Matt, it won't need all the line, just enough to keep her head to wind.' I checked that the end of the line was made fast and dropped the drogue over the bow and paid out the line and trip line and made it fast when about half of it was out. By now the others had the main down and secured and we all went back to the wheel house. 'Matt, can you swim 400 metres?' asked Ben. 'Yeh, sure if you're not in a hurry,' I replied. 'Good, now whenever we swim we always have a buddy and you both look out for each other and if you or your mate get in strife, raise one arm up. Now you see the zodiac out there, its 200 metres away and we are all going to swim out there and back. You will go first and Mark and I will stay with you as we are the best swimmers, all you others pair off and keep out of Matt's way. Ok Matt when you are ready take off and we'll follow.' I nodded and stepped up onto the bulwark and jumped out over the water and curled up as I fell into the water. It was warmer than I was used to in the north sea and I started swimming towards the zodiac. The waves were not high but the swell was raising me and the zodiac up and lowering us into the troughs so I was only getting a glimpse of it every now and then. I heard 2 more splashes as Ben and Mark jumped in after me and then a succession of shouts and splashes as the rest joined us. I plodded on with my breast stroke and hoped Ben was not in too much of a rush. I could hear him and Mark behind me and I glanced back to see them doing a lazy overarm stroke and they were obviously just taking it easy keeping just behind me. It was reassuring to know they were there. The zodiac seemed to be getting no nearer and I wondered if Juan was playing tricks and still going further away. I glanced behind again and the Mary Anne seemed to be getting further away so I must be getting somewhere. I concentrated on putting everything into making a good stroke and not wasting energy and keeping my breathing going properly so I did not get tired and out of breath. I would have to get Ben to teach me the overarm stroke, up to now no one had ever taught it to me. I started thinking about all the things that had happened to me since I left home this morning. Ye gods was it only this morning, and it wasn't even lunch time yet! This jaunt looked like being fun. The boys all seemed OK and looked great, all these suntanned bodies, naked suntanned bodies. Come on keep swimming. It felt good being naked in the water. The zodiac was still there and maybe it was a bit nearer. 'Hey, earth to Matt, earth to Matt,' Oh, what? Mark was alongside me. I smiled at him and quickly waved. 'Sorry, daydreaming!' 'We're half way now, how are you going?' 'OK, thanks,' 'Keep it up.' I kept going. My arms and legs were starting to feel the exercise, I concentrated on my breathing again. Ah, that's better. Some of the others were over on my right but keeping well away and they were not trying to outpace me. That was good of them and made me push harder, they were all waiting on me. The zodiac was getting nearer now and I pushed as hard as I could. I had got into a rhythm and was going well. Before I knew it we were almost there and some of the others sprinted out and reached the zodiac and hung on cheering me on. I got there and grabbed the safety rope and caught my breath. Juan reached his hand over and said, 'Hello Matt, good to meet you, well done.' 'Thanks Juan, pleased to meet you and thanks for being here.' 'S OK, all part of the service.' 'Right Matt,' said Ben, 'when you're ready start off back.' 'Oh, I don't know, I think I'll go back with Juan and you lot can swim back,' I said. 'Well I'm swimming back so you can come with me,' said Juan, 'Sam who's your buddy? You take the zodiac back and I'll swim with him.' 'I am,' said Greg holding his hand up, 'your swimming with me then.' Sam climbed into the zodiac right next to me giving me a beautiful view of his body with his legs opened wide. I put my hand on his bum to help him up and my fingers touched his rosebud between his cheeks. He looked back at me and smiled and swivelled round and said, 'Thanks,' and gave me a big kiss. 'Come on Matt, when you are ready start back, you'll be able to see the Mary Anne all the way back this time.' I looked at him and smiled and pushed off from the zodiac and started swimming back. It took me several strokes to start my body moving again after hanging there and I settled down to make my best speed, concentrating on making each stroke count. I had a feeling of safety and security around this mob. There were no adults with us yet everything went off without any problems and everybody was looking out for everyone else. Things happened as they should but no one was shouting orders and bossing people around. It was quite obvious that the three watchkeepers were running the show but they did it in a way that didn't need any bossing us around and if someone saw something that needed doing it was done. Everyone kept their eyes open and saw what was going on and only gestures were used to give instructions so there was no need for shouting and making a noise. By now I was enjoying the exercise and could feel my muscles working and it felt good. Again I put my full attention into concentrating on a good stroke. Must get Ben to teach me that overarm stroke. They made it look so easy. I suppose with a body like his it would be. Not an ounce of fat, all long lean muscle, I felt myself going ga-ga over him. Come on Matt swim you've only been here a couple of hours and you're getting turned on already! I looked to the Mary Anne and she seemed a good bit closer. I took a look behind me and Mark and Ben were still there along with Juan and Greg. Greg was a bit smaller than them but seemed to have no problem keeping up, well I suppose he was only having to keep up with me! I plodded on and the boat was getting closer, I pushed hard, my muscles now complaining so I breathed deeper and pushed harder and felt the pain. I told it to go away and tried to ignore it. I wanted to put on a show for these guys. Funny, teachers at school and in the gym and with sports always tried to push us harder but peer group pressure was the biggest spur. I didn't feel threatened by them and there were no snide comments but I just felt I wanted to do it for them, the other boys. The adults were not around, it was just the kids. It dawned on me that maybe that was Skip's philosophy. Let the boys push each other mentally and physically but keep a happy ship with no bickering and bitching and keep throwing the challenges in. Come on Matt you're day dreaming again, get pushing that stroke. Boat's getting closer, muscles complaining, push harder, feels good, cool water on my naked skin feels good too. I'm going to need a wank tonight but how, with all this mob around. There's nothing like privacy on board. Don't even know where the dunny is! I've got a lot to learn! All of a sudden I realise the Mary Anne is nearly there and the other boys have taken off in a race to her. No problem for me because they are keeping well away from me. I see one body way ahead and see him reach the ladder first and scramble up, small, very brown and blond hair, what he has of it. They are all up on deck now and start cheering me on as I come up to the boat. From water level she looks pretty big. I'm almost there and with their encouragement I really push. At last my fingers touch the ladder and I pull myself up. My arms feel weak from the swimming, I take a deep breath and pull hard and get my feet on a rung and push. Once I am started I scramble up and tumble dripping and a bit limp on the deck. Ye gods, I need to get fit and I thought I was. Ben, Mark, Juan and Sam climb up and join us. I get up and everyone crowds round hugging me and slapping me on the back and congratulating me. I look at Ben and say, 'What's all the fuss about, I've only swum out there and back. I suppose I was a bit slow and some of them might have thought I wouldn't make it, but why all this?' 'Well you may not realise it but that was a very important test you've just passed. Everyone when they join has to do that swim, 400 metres in the open sea. At least it wasn't too bad today, there is a bit of swell but its not choppy. That can be a bit of a bugger.' 'Well what would happen if I hadn't made it?' I asked him. 'Hmm! good point. No one has ever not made it since I've been around so I don't know. Anyway we were all sure that you would.' 'Oh, how did you work that out?' I asked. He smiled and said, 'Well we have our ways!' I stuck one finger up at him and made a rude noise. 'Oh, is that a promise? That has a very specific meaning on the Mary Anne you know!' 'Oh, what's that?' I asked. 'You'll find out he laughed. Come on lets get the zodiac inboard and stowed and then we can see about lunch. Jo could you make a start on lunch and we'll be down in a jiff, Ivan can you help with the ducky?' The three of us made our way aft where Sam had taken the zodiac. We lowered the falls and Sam hooked them on and Ben and I wound her up on the winch. When she was at deck level Sam stepped out and Ivan helped him with the outboard and the fuel tank and they stowed them. We hoisted the zodiac to its chocks and made it fast. Ben said, 'Come on we'll have a look at the chart and see how long it will take us to the island and see when we need to get underway.' He led the way into the wheelhouse and opened a drawer in the chart table and pulled out a chart and a pair of dividers. He looked at the GPS and read off our position and pencilled this on the chart with a neat little circle and put the time and date next to it. He then measured off to an island some way away. 'Mmm, 26 miles at 4-1/2 knots, that's nearly 6 hours sailing. We'll have to get under way again now and then do lunch. Course will be S 32 E Matt, put that up on the board, then sea anchor up please, then jib up, Ivan ask Mark to help you with the main please. Lets go guys.' I went forward and pulled the trip line for the drogue and when that was coming in I started pulling the main line in as well and coiled them both and stowed them and the drogue. Ben had already started on the jib so I helped him and when the jib was up and sheeted home we went to help with the main and Ben asked Ivan to take the wheel. We got the main finished and set and went below to help Jo with lunch. The menu was cold meat, cheese, salad, bread and fruit. Ben explained that there was always a portion for everyone and when that was finished there were always second helpings if you wanted it. Jo went off to get Skip and No1 and the Chief and all the other boys trooped down after them. I had not met the Chief yet so when he came down Ben introduced me. We all sat down and ate. Conversation was at a minimum as we were all hungry. I realised part way through all the boys were naked. Ben noticed me looking around at the boys and said, 'Just realised we're all naked, Matt?' I blushed a bit and said, 'Yeh, I hadn't thought about it before.' 'You don't mind do you?' he asked. 'Hell no, we always are at home and I much prefer it. Much more comfortable.' He winked at me. 'Come up on deck, we can have a talk. He picked up an apple and I took a banana and followed him up the ladder, once again having a beautiful view of his body. He went up to the bow and sat on the deck and started on his apple. 'We are going to our island for tonight. We'll have a BBQ on the beach and stuff around there for a bit and set sail at dusk. Now we have just finished forenoon watch and we are on again for the second dog from 6 to 8 this evening and then morning watch from 4 to 8am. There are 7 watches to man in 24 hours and 3 watches of us so we move back a watch each day.' I was eating my banana and Ben his apple. He was sitting on the deck with his legs stretched out straight in front of him and wide apart so I was afforded a very good view of him. He noticed me looking and grinned but did not move or try to stop me, in fact he seemed to start to get hard. 'Now if you want to go to the dunny while we are at sea there is a pulpit off the stern so you can hang your bum over the water.' 'What with everyone looking?' I asked a bit startled. He laughed, 'Well you'll soon get used to it and no-one thinks anything about it. In port we use the one down below, either the water flush one or the chemical one that has to be emptied, depending on where we are. When you've used the dunny, and I'll show you were the toilet paper is, there is a hose pipe there with salt water for you to wash yourself and your hands, its just the same as a bidet. There is a salt water shower by the wheelhouse and you can use that anytime. There is also a fresh water one next to it but we only use that just before we go to bed for just long enough to wash the salt off, fresh water is expensive. You'll get used to not having much privacy. We are all in the same boat and everyone accepts that. Anything you need to do just go ahead and do it. Oh yes! When you need a pee, make sure you work out where the wind is coming from, you may be into water sports but other people may not appreciate that so do it to leeward not to windward otherwise you will get your own back!' he finished with a laugh. He was now stroking his cock and it was growing as his foreskin slipped back revealing his glans and then covering it again. I glanced at his face again but he was just smiling and did not seem in the least bothered that I was watching. I felt my erection starting again and bent my knees up so that it was trapped between my legs. 'Come on,' he said, 'let it go and get stiff. I want to see how big it is!' I blushed again but opened my legs out so that he could see it. He looked down and I enjoyed showing myself off, it felt good as Ben was looking at my cock and then up to my face. I was still blushing and he smiled at me. My erection was as stiff as it would go as I looked at Ben's cock and up to his face. I put my hand down and touched myself and eased my skin back, a drop of precum oozed out and I spread this around with my finger. 'You ever play around with anyone else?' Ben asked. 'Yea, my best friend and I have wanked each other off and we love massaging each other and my family likes massaging but I get a bit embarrassed when I get a stiff when Mum is there. She doesn't seem to worry though.' 'That's good,' he said, 'We all like massages and Juan is the best. You may be a bit stiff after that swim this morning and he will fix you up if you ask him. Now come down below and I'll show you where a few other things are stowed that you may need and I need to show you the shower and dunny for when we are in port, that's not very often as we have to wear clothes there!' 'Wait a minute, I'm still stiff!' 'Don't worry about it! Let them have a look, they've been dying to see you hard since you came on board this morning. Give them a show!' He stood up and reached out his hand to me and pulled me up. He was still stiff and it felt good being next to this gorgeous hunk and stiff as well so why not? We walked aft and went down the companion way and scored some smiles of appreciation on the way. I had never worried about getting a stiff when naked as our family and friends accepted them as part of the male body but it felt a bit different to be parading it around on purpose for others to see but I was enjoying it. When we were down below Ben said, 'Now here is the first aid kit and if you need anything from it you should check it out with me or one of the other watchkeepers or one of the officers first if that is practical or let us know after and fill in the incident report book. There are condoms and lubricant in that locker as well and they must be used if you want to have sex with anyone.' 'I've never had sex like that before,' I said. 'That's fine,' said Ben 'and you don't have to if you don't want to. Anyone can ask anyone about anything but a no is a no and that's the end of it. If two, or more, guys want to do things then that is up to them. If you need advice, ask me or one of the other watchkeepers or the officers. No one will put you down or preach to you, you will just get useful information. You may be asked to justify you're decision or to make sure you know what you are doing or getting into but you are the one who makes the decision.' 'But where can you go to have a bit of privacy on here with everyone around all the time?' 'Why do you need privacy? At home you needed privacy so that you're parents wouldn't know what you were doing, or you thought they didn't know! They probably didn't want to see you doing it anyway. At my home I take my girl friend or boy friend to my bedroom and we do what we like and my parents don't worry about it, they would much rather we did it there than go skulking around somewhere unsafe and may be get caught. We are all naked anyway and they see me with a stiff up when she is around anyway. On here we all do it and we all know we do it so why try to hide. We all enjoy it and we enjoy watching others!' All this had got me right up again and Ben put his hand down and touched me. He looked up with a quizzical look on his face and I smiled at him and shrugged. He carefully eased my skin back and forward again and just felt me for a minute. He then gave me a hug and said, 'You're beautiful! I'd like to have sex with you, any sort, just playing around or going all the way. Its up to you, when you feel ready.' 'I'm ready right now! I need to come! All that exercise this morning has got my adrenalin going.' I said. 'Oh, that reminds me, can you teach me to do the overarm, freestyle or whatever you call it? I can only do breast stroke.' 'Yea, I'd love to, on the island this evening would be a good time to start. We'll have a bit of free time. Come on, it must be nearly school time by now.' I followed him down the companion way. There were benches and 12 computers with several scanners and printers. Two boys were already there and Ben and I sat down next to each other, out erections had subsided but neither of us were soft. Luke came down and sat next to me. He was the swimmer I remembered from this morning who got to the boat first. He was small, very blond and very tanned and I realised had a full erection and didn't seem in the least bit worried about it. I was mesmerised by it and could not drag my eyes away. He noticed this and smiled and wagged it at me, I blushed as I realised I had been caught. 'That looks great,' I said, 'I'd love to do something with you sometime if you want to.' 'You don't look bad yourself and I wouldn't mind having a go with you,' he replied looking down at my cock and I realised I was right up again! I turned the computer on that was in front of me. When it had started up a log in screen came up and asked me to enter my name. I typed in Matt and a query came up asking me if I had spelled my name correctly or was I logging on for the first time. I clicked on the first time box and the screen asked me to enter a password and retype my name. That done it asked me to re-enter my password to verify it. Then an entry screen came up welcoming me to the Mary Anne system and with basic instructions on how to use the system and giving me a prompt to my project. I went to that and I was asked to set up a spreadsheet to perform various functions, record information and store the results. I felt fingers on my leg and looked down to see Luke stroking me, his cock still stiff and he was pulling his skin back and up again. He looked up at me and asked, 'Can I touch you?' 'You are,' I replied with a grin. He moved his hand so that the backs of his fingers touch my stiff cock. 'If I can touch you!' He let go of his cock and gently ran his fingers over mine so I did the same to him. His skin was still pulled back and as my fingers touched the head of his cock his body jerked and pulled his tummy in and he grunted. I moved my fingers down and pulled his skin up and then gently right back until it was stretched, the head flared bigger as the muscles flexed and I felt a spasm go right through his cock. It was not quite as long as mine and thinner but beautifully proportioned and straight with no hair at the base. 'Do you shoot yet?' I asked. 'No but I come like tomorrow's never going to get here, and it can just keep going 'til I piss myself!' He was still touching me and pulled my skin back several times and then right back hard and held it there as he looked at me to see my reaction. My mouth was open and I gasped but still pushed my hips up to meet his hand as my cock also flexed. Ben looked over and grinned, 'Come on you two, Chief doesn't like spunk all over the keyboards, it plays hell with the electronics!' I looked down and saw that he was again up hard from seeing us. 'Can I touch you?' 'Thought you'd never ask!' he said and opened his legs wider in invitation. I took hold of him and realised he was bigger than Luke and a bit bigger than me but he felt warm and hard under the silky skin. I moved my hand up and down and then pulled his skin back as far as it would go and like me he pushed his hips up to force his skin back further. I ran one finger round under the ridge of his crown and he grunted. His skin was looser than mine and the frenum was no longer attached, mine had mostly come away but there was still a vestige left. 'Come on guys we'd best get on with these projects, we can play later.' 'Oh! is that a promise?' 'You wait and see!' I turned to my screen again and started on mine and soon lost myself in working out the best way that I knew to provide what was asked. I realised the Chief was with us and he came to me and asked if I was OK with the system and what I was doing. I told him I had logged in and started the project and started to explain to him what I was planning. He held up his hand and said, 'No, you just do the project and I'll check it out when you have finished it. I'm only here to help if you are stuck, if no one else can or if you have problems with the system. I'll check out your project when you have finished it and make suggestions for better ways if I can think of any. I'm interested to see how you tackle the problem and to see if you come up with any other factors that need to be considered, its wide open, go for it!' I realised I still had the best part of an erection and looked at Chief to see if he had noticed, of course I blushed again. He was standing behind Luke and looking at his screen to check his work but I did notice he glanced down at his cock, still hard and throbbing with his skin pulled back. Chief just moved on to the next boy without comment. I worked away at my task and the time seemed to fly. Ben said, 'Save that and log off, its 3 oclock and Skip wants to see you, come on I'll take you to him.' We went up on deck and the sun was bright after being below, it felt warm and good on my body. I followed Ben to the aft end of the deckhouse and he entered the door facing the stern. 'You can come in here to see any of the officers any time, just knock on their door and wait until they tell you enter. We only come to see them if there is something that we do not feel like talking to one of the other boys about but the watchkeepers handle most things. He knocked on Skip's door and Skip sang out 'Come in' Ben opened the door and went in and motioned me to enter and to sit in one of the chairs next to Skip's desk. 'How are you settling in Matt?' Skip asked. 'Fine thanks Skip, I'm enjoying being here thanks.' 'Good, now there are a few things I want to go over with you. Ben has probably mentioned some of them already but I need to make sure you understand the few rules we do have and some other things that are important. As you may have realised life on here is a bit different to a normal school or living in a family. I know you come from a nudist family so that is not new to you. Most of the boys who come are the same but not always and that can be a bit traumatic for a few although they seem to adapt quickly. Even for boys like you, you may find the free and easy attitude to sexuality more relaxed that you are used to.' I realised at this point that Skip was now naked as well. It hadn't occurred to me as we came in. I couldn't help but look down at his body. He was as brown as Ben and had a good sized cock. I looked up at him and felt embarrassed as he was looking straight at me with a slight smile. 'Ah!, you've noticed. Yes Matt, the officers usually go naked as well. We haven't up to now to give you time to get used to being here. Now as you have realised nudity is usual on board when we are out of sight of land, and when we are going to a nudist place or a uninhabited place like our island this evening unless the weather makes it impractical. Erections are accepted as a normal state for boys but we also have no problems with open displays of sexuality between consenting partners or groups. The one unwritten rule is that no means no and you must ask before you start any sexual activity with another boy. The officers are not involved with a boy until he is over the age of consent at 16 and then only if the boy instigates the activity. If you want to be involved with anal intercourse, condoms and lubricant must be used.' I was getting aroused with all this talk about sex and glanced at Ben and saw him with his legs open and stroking his erection slowly and looking at me with a grin on his face. Skip went on, 'There is not much opportunity for privacy on the Mary Anne because there are 15 of us on here so if you feel like or need to do something, like hang your bum over the stern, just go ahead and do it. You may find it embarrassing at first but everyone else is in the same position so just go for it. The same for wanking or whatever. When you boys go ashore in a port, there must always be at least 2 of you together and in some places more than that. We do not want anyone being kidnapped or worse and when you go ashore you must sign off and sign on again when you come back on board. Now any questions?' I looked over at Ben, then back to Skip. 'No, I can't think of anything. I would like to thank you for having me.' 'We are very pleased to have you and I don't think I need to remind you that we are on a boat and while we know that boys love a joke and a prank do think before you do anything and make sure it is not going to have consequences that were not intended and could be disastrous. The sea and boats are very unforgiving. Have a good time, work hard and play hard. If you have any questions ask Ben or one of the other watchkeepers or one of the officers. You can always knock on my door if you don't want to discuss things with one of the others. Now off you go and have fun.' He held out his hand and stood up. I stood up too, my erection bobbing up with me, and shook his hand. 'Thanks Skip, it looks as though everyone has fun on here'. He tousled my hair and smiled at me. Ben led the way out of his cabin and out onto the deck. I saw Cliff was perched out on the pulpit and was obviously following nature's call. I had only seen my younger brother on the toilet occasionally and it was a bit of a surprise to see another boy performing in full view. Then I realised I needed to do the same and I blushed as I realised I would be on view in the same way. I blushed again and Ben said , 'You need to go too do you?' 'How do you know?' I asked. 'I saw you blush he,' said. 'I'm getting to know you. Its ok, just go and do it when Cliff has finished. The toilet paper is here and then use the hose there to wash with. We do not like being dirty just because we are naked and we all live close together a smelly bum is not pleasant!' Cliff finished up and washed himself with the hose pipe and washed his hands and then pulled his skin back and washed his cock as well, causing the start of a stiff up. My cock was still hard and Ben said, 'Go on then do what you need to do!' Oh well, what the hell I thought. I stepped up and perched myself over the water and Ben and Cliff stood there talking and looking at me. 'You'rs not going to stand there watching are you?' I asked, even more embarrassed. 'Why will you get stage fright?' laughed Cliff. 'Go on just get on with it, you'll soon get used to it or get constipated and then Skip will have to give you an enema!' The urge was too great and I dropped my offering into the water below as Ben and Cliff stood there making pushing motions and grunting more than I was! I washed up and faced them, still as hard as a rock. 'See you enjoyed that.' said Cliff. 'Very embarrassing but I suppose a little titillating.' 'Well you're still up hard,' said Ben as he took my cock in his fingers and stroked it a couple of times. 'Nice,' he said. 'Oh God, make me come!' I replied. 'I'm dying for a wank!' 'Later,' he said, 'All in good time. Come on we can get a bit more of the project done.' We went back below and carried on with our computing work. At 4:00 we were on watch again and Ivan took the wheel and at 4:30 No1 came down and started us on an Language project. We knocked off at 5:30 and I began to notice a ripple of excitement on board. I asked Ben about the island we were going to. 'It belongs to Skip and we visit it whenever we are nearby. We'll have a BBQ and then have fun on the beach for a couple of hours, it gives us a chance to let off steam and get some exercise and no-one else is around so we can stay nude. Come on lets go up to the cross trees to see if we can see it yet.' We climbed up the ratlines and were joined by Luke, Tony, Jo and Cliff. They were all faster than me so I ended up with a beautiful view of 5 boys showing me everything they possessed and they were each a little different. Luke had the smallest anus, scrotum and penis and was completely hairless, Jo and Cliff had no hair underneath their scrotum or anus and were very similar, Tony had a few hairs and a bigger anus and Ben had quite a few hairs on his scrotum and a few round his anus and as I was looking at it, it opened and a loud fart erupted! 'Ben, you mongrel!' I said. He laughed, 'Better out than in.' We all crowded together on the cross trees and couldn't help but touch each other. 'There it is!' said Ben, he called down to the deck, 'Island fine on the port bow!' With the view I'd had on the way up and the closeness of the others I was fully hard again. It was rubbing on Luke's side and he looked up at me and smiled and took hold of my erection and gently played with it and pulled my skin right back. 'Oh! mmm,' I moaned, 'yes that's good.' He stopped straight away and smiled at me. 'Why'd you stop?' I asked. 'I could cum, and I need to. Will you do me tonight, I really need to have a wank?' 'Yeh, I'll do you if you like, I'd love to!' he said as he still smiled at me. We went back to the deck. I was really turned on and still stiff. We all congregated in the bow to watch the island as we approached it. I was feeling hungry again and was looking forward to the BBQ. We were not on watch until 6 o'clock so would have to clear up after the tea and then after 8pm would not be on watch again until 4 in the morning. That sounded exciting. Would it still be warm enough to still be naked, I wondered? The island grew larger and we came past a rocky headland and a bay opened up to view with a sandy beach and a shack up above high water mark. The boat swung into the bay and the anchor was dropped and there was just enough breeze there for the boat to fall back away from the anchor. 'Hey, Matt. Feel like a swim?' asked Ben. 'Yeh, OK.' 'Come on I'll come with you. Take this line and swim out to the buoy from the stern and then haul out the mooring line that Pierre will pay out to you and make pass it through the buoy and back on board.' I took the bight of the line he gave me and jumped into the water and started swimming. It was not too far but towing the line behind me was a bit of a drag. He came along with me as my buddy but I did not want him to help with the line. We got to the buoy and I climbed on it and started pulling on one side of the line and Pierre paid out the mooring line while Luke was pulling in the slack. It got to be hard work by the time the mooring line got to me and I passed the line through the ring on the buoy and held it tight and made the line I had towed out fast the heavier line and kept pulling that through the ring as Pierre and Luke pulled them both back on board. When they had the mooring line back they waved and made both ends fast. 'OK, well done,' said Ben who was still in the water keeping an eye on what I was doing, 'you do OK as a sailor. Lets swim straight to the beach now.' I jumped in again and started my slow old breaststroke and headed for the beach. It did not take long and I touched bottom on clean white sand. The rest of the boys were on the beach or just about having swum from the boat, except for Pierre and Cliff who brought the zodiac with No 1. The landed with a couple of eskies and then No1 took the zodiac back. We all went up the beach to the shack and got out the BBQs and helped Pierre and his guys get them ready for cooking tea. Some of the other guys also brought out two large heavy canvas sheets and spread them on the beach. 'Whose for a swim? shouted Pierre and ran down the beach to the water. In a matter of moments there were 15 naked boys headed for getting wet again. I looked for Ben as my buddy and took off towards him. I was going to ask him to teach me to do the overarm stroke but did not get time , as soon as everyone hit the water it was a free for all with everyone dunking everyone and total chaos ensued. People's legs were being pulled out from under, people were jumping on backs and everyone was having a good old rough house. The feeling of all the bare skin touching bare skin was great. My stiff had gone down with swimming to the buoy but the feelings I was getting now were wonderful. After a while I was stuffed and out of breath and started to make my way up to the beach. Ben was in front of me and turned round and gave me a push, I went to step back to keep my balance but found I could not as someone was bent over right behind me and I went right over backwards and under water again. Before I could get me footing again I was grabbed and lifted out of the water and carried up the beach to one of the canvas sheets and gently laid down and rolled over onto my front with my arms and legs spread out. I went to get up but found my arms and legs were now held gently but firmly in place. Ben was at my head and he bent down and said, 'Are you comfortable?' 'Yeh.' I nodded. I felt a liquid being poured onto my back and on down over my buttocks and legs and then hands were all over me rubbing and massaging the oil in. I tried to feel each part of me that was being massaged but it was not easy as it was all happening at the same time. I could feel someone working on my head and that felt great. At least 2 were doing my back, same with my arms, same with my bum, thighs, calves and feet. As I was spread eagled on the sheet the ones doing my thighs were going right up the inside to my balls and the ones doing my bum were going right into the crevice between my cheeks and touching my anus. I was getting turned on again! My cock was getting stiff again and I was lying on it so I had to lift myself up and try to move it to a more comfortable position but I couldn't use my hands as they were still being restrained. As I lifted up someone slipped their hand under me and pushed my erection straight up. Oh, that felt better. The massage went on and I did not feel ticklish yet the soles of my feet were done and my sides, places where normally I would be squirming if anyone touched me. My anus was now being probed and a finger was trying to get in it and the hands doing my thighs were being even more provocative by playing with my balls every time they were up there. One finger slid right into my bum and gently moved in and out until it was right in as far as it could go. Now it was stimulating my prostate and that was getting to me. I lifted up my bum and started groaning, really into it. The finger was slowly removed but I tried to hang on to it. I was turned over and laid on my back, spread eagled again, my cock now standing up and throbbing and as I looked down at it I could see the precum dribbling down making a sticky mess on my skin.
