CHAPTER 26

---

"Very well, then.  Let the game begin.  And may the best man win."  I moved
my Bishop Pawn forward two spaces and hit the timer.  The game had begun...

"HEY!" Jeffy yelled, pointing at the board.  "You don't get to go first!"

"Very good, Jeffy." I said proudly, moving my pawn back in place.  "You've
learned quite well."

Brandon eyed me carefully, as I reset the timer.  Then, after studying the
board for a moment, moved his knight out.

I moved my knight out.

He moved his again, closer to my army.

I moved my Bishop Pawn out, allowing movement of my Bishop.

Brandon studied the board, and then chose to move a Pawn.

And, so it went.  Piece by piece, movement by movement.  As before, each
move a strategic gesture; skill against skill; motion against motion.  For
Brandon, it was a chance to regain his position in the group.  For me, it
was a chance to regain my 'Eagle Eyes' title.

The next eight moves or so went without a single piece falling.  However,
there was very few moves left that wouldn't cause a sacrificial lamb to be
slaughtered.

Brandon had set up his pieces with precision, but I wasn't new to the game,
and had a few precise blocks of my own.

The next move started a frenzy of captures.  Pawn to Pawn, Knight to Pawn,
Bishop to Knight, Pawn to Bishop.  That move sent the crowd moaning at
Brandon for not seeing it earlier.

I tried not to gloat, but to be honest, the move was rather silly.  Brandon
stewed for only a moment after seeing his Bishop removed from the board by
a measly Pawn.  Then his eyes lit up, as he moved his Rook from the far
side and took the Pawn.  A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.
CLICK, he hit the timer.

"I see." I finally said.  Up to that point, neither of us had spoken.
"Then, I suppose you won't mind if I do this."  And I moved my Bishop,
capturing the Rook without a single piece to stop me or capture me.

The boys groaned again, and I could tell it was a move that Brandon knew
was possible but hoped I hadn't seen.

He studied the board, and I watched as his eyes darted back and forth,
working through the next three moves in his mind.  You could almost hear
him counsel himself, 'I move the Knight there, then he moves here, I take
the Bishop, he takes the Knight, I corner his Queen.'

Actually, I had seen the moves he was working out.  It made sense to me,
but I hoped he studied a bit longer before making the move.  It wasn't the
third part of the move that bothered me, but what would logically follow.
As I saw the move in my own mind, Brandon moved his Knight.  It was too
late.

I took his Knight with my own Rook, which he expected.  He moved his
remaining Rook and took my Bishop.  A reasonable sacrifice considering what
I saw in the future.  I took the Knight, and he moved his Rook to 'corner'
my Queen.

However, as the boys quieted, I casually moved the Queen just three small
spaces to the left, not only releasing her from being cornered, but lining
her directly with his King.  "Check." I softly announced.

The shock in Brandon's eyes confirmed what I suspected: That indeed, he had
correctly seen the first three moves, but missed the out for the Queen,
missing my move entirely.

"FUCK!" He said out loud.

He studied the board, carefully gauging the King's escape route.  Brandon
was clever enough to know that merely moving the King was not enough.  He
had to try to set it up forcing me to lose another piece.

The timer ticked for more than a minute, and the boys began to get anxious.
Most were now standing, hovering over us, as though some brutal schoolyard
fight had broken out.

Finally, I broke the silence.  "Strategy is a practice of arrangement and
execution."

Brandon looked at me, and then restudied the board.  It was a hint, and he
knew it.  The rest of the boys had missed my hint, somehow thinking I was
being arrogant.  Brandon, however, knew better.  He studied the three
possible squares around his King, and then his eyes lit up.

Moving the King diagonally one square forward, he withdrew the King from
'Check.'  He also strategically protected the King from a subsequent check.
Then, Brandon clicked the timer, sat back, and grinned.

"Very well done." I commended.

It was the only move I hadn't necessarily planned for, which was why I gave
him the hint.  I didn't have another attack ready.  He knew it, I knew it.
The boys didn't see it, which only added to the intensity of watching the
game.

I moved my Queen again, to the opposite end of the board.

Now it was Brandon's turn to advance and attack.  Following my statement,
he arranged and executed.

Three more moves with no loss of pieces, and then, another ugly battle.
Brandon moved first, Bishop to Bishop, Knight to Bishop, Queen to Knight.

Then Brandon swiftly moved his remaining Rook in line with my King.
"Check!"  CLICK.

"Hmmmm." I spoke softly.  The boys scanned the board, softly whispering to
each other, 'did he win?'

I moved the King one step forward, capturing a Pawn and releasing my King.

Brandon moved his Queen to the far left of the board, capturing a Pawn, and
making his way to corner me again.

However, it was my turn to attack.  I moved my Rook two spaces up,
protected from his Queen by a Pawn, but lining myself up with any attack he
had planned.

He drew his Queen back one space.  It was a move that I didn't anticipate,
only because it had no strategic value, other than forcing me to move
again.

I moved my Rook across the board to my far left.

The next three moves were a dance of wits between Brandon and I.  The room
fell silent, and you could hardly hear anyone breathe.

It was my turn to move, and the moment that I had waited so patiently for,
had finally arrived.  It was a 'cross-roads' really.  If I moved my King
forward, it would be impossible for Brandon to 'check me' without also
sacrificing his remaining Rook.  However, if I left the King in place, and
advanced toward his kingdom, Brandon would win within two moves, therefore,
once again claiming his First Mate's position in our group.

I studied the board for a minute, allowing the timer to tick away.  The
intensity on the boys' faces showed that my hesitation was an indication of
some grand strategy that I was creating.  However, I was merely debating a
much larger battle than the chess game.  A choice between a leap of faith
in someone I cared for, and my own petty egotistic reputation.

I reached for the King, and placed my fingers on the crown.  'A leap of
faith, Red,' my mind racing through the situation, trying desperately to
make the right choice.

Slowly, methodically, almost dramatically, I removed my fingers from the
crown, leaving the King in its place.  Then, I moved my Queen again,
capturing another Pawn.

CLICK

I had made my choice, and the look on Brandon's face confirmed that he saw
what I was doing.  He looked up at me, and my eyes met his.  Subtly,
unnoticed by the other boys, I nodded.

Brandon took my invitation, and, as expected, within two more moves,
announced, "Check Mate!"  Every one looked at me for confirmation.

"Excellent game, Brandon."  I congratulated him, and the boys burst into a
frenzy of 'high-fives' and cheers.

As the excitement began to die down, I suggested a congratulatory snack,
and Andrew quickly jumped up, racing to the galley to prepare something
appropriate for us.

As the boys began to move out of the main room, I cleaned up the game and
was about to store it back into the cabinet.  As I opened the cabinet door,
Brandon wrapped his arm around my waist and softly whispered, "Thank you,
Captain.  I know what you did.  Thank you.  I won't let you down."

Before I could even respond, Brandon quickly left the room, headed for the
galley.

I slid the board into the cabinet, and softly closed the door.  The lump in
my throat was large enough to choke me, and the single tear in my eye told
my heart that I had made the right choice.  'Strategy is a practice of
arrangement and execution, Red.' I said to myself.  'You did the right
thing.'

---

The evening was quiet, and as the boys turned in for the night, there was a
feeling of utter happiness on The Mighty Miss.

Brandon had regained his title, and would be, once again, relied upon to
guide the crew.

Andrew had become quite the 'gourmet chef' during his trip.

And I had the satisfying feeling of influencing the maturity of these great
boys.

Having completed my rounds, and tucking the boys in, I returned to my
patiently waiting Jeffy.  I kissed his forehead, and he quickly moved
upward to meet my lips.

We snuggled in and began our journey to dreamland.

---

"Oh, sorry, didn't know anyone was in here." Brandon said, as Jeremy came
out of the shower.

"It's okay, I was finished anyway." Jeremy scanned Brandon's naked body.
He felt his dick tingle and quickly begin to rise.  He wrapped a towel
around his waist as casually and quickly as he could.

"Jeremy, I really am sorry about the way I treated you." Brandon said
softly, eyeing the rising bulge in Jeremy's towel.

"I'm glad everything is back to normal." Jeremy wasn't sure what to say.
He certainly wasn't ready to admit he liked the attention from Brandon,
even if it was rough.

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone.  I just...well, you're so hot, and I
just...couldn't help it."

Jeremy began to blush and he felt his dick bouncing in the towel.  "You're
the hot one, Brandon, and everybody knows it.  Andrew's talked about you
and how he loves to suck you off."

Brandon stepped back, gauging Jeremy to see if he was telling the truth.
"Well, I just wanted to personally say I'm sorry.  I wish I could make it
up to you."

Jeremy leaned down, trying to dry off his legs, and still keep the towel
over his pulsing cock.  As he looked up at Brandon, he noticed Brandon's
dick had begun to grow.  Jeremy's mouth watered, and he knew he wanted to
grab Brandon's ass, pull him close, and bury his face in his crotch.

Brandon could tell Jeremy was focusing on his dick, which only made it grow
even more.  "I'd be willing to make it up to you, Jeremy," Brandon
whispered softly, as he closed the door behind him.  "If you wanted me to."

'I DO want you to,' Jeremy thought to himself.  "What do you mean?"

"Well," Brandon smiled, placing his hand under Jeremy's chin, standing him
up.  "I could take care of that raging boner you've got."  Brandon tugged
on the loose towel, dropping it to the floor.

Jeremy's stiff cock pointed directly at Brandon, as Brandon lowered himself
to his knees, now facing the erect boy tool.

Jeremy stood still, not sure what he wanted to do.  Actually, he knew what
he wanted, but didn't want Brandon to think he wanted it.  It was Jeremy's
own game now, and Brandon was on his knees, waiting for the answer.

Jeremy stepped forward, and Brandon parted his lips.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"  Jeremy asked.

Brandon gave his answer by engulfing the boy's slender cock, down the fine
hairs above it.

"Oh God, Brandon, mmmm." Jeremy softly moaned.

Brandon released his hold for a moment.  "Do you like it?"

Jeremy nodded his head, and Brandon continued his oral pleasure.

Up and down Jeremy's soft skinned cock, Brandon moved his mouth, pressing
his tongue against the bottom of Jeremy's shaft.  Brandon moved his left
hand upward, and began caressing Jeremy's hairless tender boy balls.

"Mmmmm." Jeremy moaned again, tilting his head back, enjoying Brandon's
touch.  "This feels so good."

Brandon pressed his lips tighter together, and began moving faster up and
down Jeremy's cock.  While his mouth worked Jeremy's dick, his left hand
worked Jeremy's balls, he moved his right hand downward, stroking his own
leaking cock.  Soon, Brandon was jerking his own dick as fast as he was
sucking off Jeremy's.

Brandon could tell Jeremy was close, as his breathing increased, and
Brandon could feel Jeremy's heartbeat pulsing along the slender shaft.

"Dude, I'm gonna shoot." Jeremy finally uttered through his hurried breath.

Brandon let Jeremy's dick slip from his mouth and stroked it with his left
hand, all the while still stroking his own cock.

"Oh God....uhg...uh....here...it...uhh" Jeremy's white boy cream began
jetting through Brandon's fingers, landing on his chin and chest.  A stream
of hot boy cum landed on Brandon's dick head, lubricating Brandon's
strokes.  The feeling of Jeremy's cum on his dick sent Brandon spraying his
own hot cum upward against his chest, mixing happily with Jeremy's load.
Brandon continued to stroke and pull on both of their dicks, milking the
last precious drops from them.  As the last single tear appeared on the end
of Jeremy's softening dick, Brandon reached in, and licked it clean with
his tongue.

Brandon then stood up, the streams of cum glistening on his chest.  "We
still friends?" He asked Jeremy.

"Hell yeah.  That was awesome.  Maybe we can suck each other next time."
Jeremy smiled at Brandon, as he was stepping into the shower.

"Maybe." Brandon winked, closing the shower curtain.

---

I woke to the aroma of grilled pancakes and bacon.  Andrew had beaten me to
the galley and was already busying himself with breakfast preparations.

"Good Morning." I said as I entered the galley.

"Good Morning, Captain.  Sleep well?"

"Yes, thank you.  Breakfast smells great."  I patted Andrew on the butt as
I passed him to fetch myself some hot tea.  Andrew looked up at me and
smiled, then went back to his work.

"You know, it's pretty hard to be up before me around here." I chuckled as
I poured the steaming water across the tea bag.

"Yes, Sir.  But, if I'm going to make you guys a decent breakfast, I can't
sleep in."

"You've turned out to be quite a galley cook for us, Andrew.  I'm most
impressed."  I sat at the table, close to where he was working.

"Thank you, Sir.  I do try."

Andrew finished the first plate of bacon, placed the strips on a warming
tray, and slid the tray into a warm oven.  Then, he brought a stack of
plates to the table.

"Let me help you, Andrew," I said as my hand brushed against his.

"Ummm, yeah, okay." Andrew's face began to blush, and he quickly turned
from me.  I began placing the plates around the large table, making a full
circle that led back to where Andrew was working.

"Forks?" I said.

"Huh?"  Andrew's eyes were big and his face blushed further.  "Oh, yeah,
'FORKS.'"  Andrew started giggling.

"What did you think I said?"

"Oh, nothing.  Here you go."

"Andrew?  Is there something you want to tell me?"  I stopped him place,
grabbing both his arms so he was facing me.

"Tell you?  Ummm, no.  I don't think so."

I pulled the blonde haired boy closer to me.  "You can tell me anything,
Matey."

Andrew slipped his arm around my waist, and I wasn't sure, but I was
certain I felt his hand slip down over my right cheek.  I was about to say
something, when he quickly turned from me and said, "Must get this bacon
into the warmer."

Before I could respond or pursue his obvious interest, Thomas and Binder
entered the galley, laughing about some joke Thomas had told.  "Morning."
They sang in unison.

"Good morning.  Breakfast is almost ready." Andrew announced, rather
properly.

Soon enough, the aroma of the galley sent its wake up call to the rest of
the ship, and the boys gathered, in uniform, for their first meal of the
day.

As usual, the table was soon buzzing with conversation, and the clink and
clank of utensils and glassware.

Breakfast was consumed in record speed, and the crew immediately set to
cleaning up the galley.

"Ready the crew, Brandon.  We set sail in ten minutes."  I proudly
announced.

Brandon snapped to attention.  "Aye, aye, Sir.  With pleasure."  He was
back, and happier than ever!  As ordered, Brandon had the crew on deck;
ready for inspection by the time I approached the helm.

"Ready for inspection, Captain." Brandon announced, saluting me.

"Excellent.  Thank you, Brandon."  I commenced with the inspection, turning
each boy, patting him down, fixing a collar here, and a shirt there, and
giving each one a gentle pat on the butt.  It was my signature of approval,
and they knew it.

However, when I got to Andrew, he seemed shy and uncomfortable.  It was
when I turned him around that I noticed the tent forming in the front of
his uniform shorts.  Brandon noticed it too.

"You boys look great." I announced, backing from Andrew, and skipping
Brandon all together.  "Let's get underway."

"Stations, Gentlemen!" Brandon yelled, and the boys scattered to their
appointed areas of the ship.  "Pull anchor!"  The anchor was lifted and
secured.  "Raise the Main Sail!"  The fabric unfurled and billowed as the
morning breeze pushed the fabric into a large pillow.

Jeffy came and sat next to me.  "Where are we going today, Cappy?"

"We only have three days before we're due in San Diego, and I thought you
boys might like another shot at that Roller Coaster."  I smiled back at
Jeffy, my arm on his shoulder.

"Woo Hoo!" Jeffy yelled, and bounded off the helm to spread the word of our
destination.

The weather was picture perfect, and the wind was strong and steady.  No
sign of rain, and the waves under us were large enough to occasionally lift
our bow, but mild enough to be enjoyed.

The sails of The Mighty Miss made the most efficient use of our wind power
and we were moving along quickly.  I had just lifted my head from the
compass when Thomas yelled, "Whales!  Look!"

The boys gathered where Thomas was standing, and looked in the direction he
was pointing.  Sure enough, a school of five or six whales were cresting
the water, running parallel to our ship.

"Jeffy." I called.  "Run to our cabin and grab the camera."

Jeffy followed my instruction and was back in a flash, the instant camera
in hand.  He held it out to me.

"No.  YOU take the picture.  And take some of your friends too.  Enough for
everybody to take some home."

With excitement on his face, Jeffy began snapping pictures as quickly as
the film would exit the camera, handing them to everyone.

The boys watched as they developed.  The whales in the water; Thomas making
funny faces; Andrew posing like a model; Brandon saluting; each boy posing
or smiling or doing something goofy, just for fun.

Each time the camera would run out of film, Jeffy would run it over to me,
and I'd quickly insert a new film cartridge.

---

The rest of the day was spent sailing toward Santa Cruz, and with the
cooperative weather and good winds, I kept The Mighty Miss moving forward
through lunch and through dinner.  Brandon and I took turns piloting the
ship, and he was happy to again be First Mate, in charge of the helm.

We made excellent time, and although we would make Santa Cruz, it would be
early morning.

I decided to pull another 'all nighter.'  Brandon agreed to take shifts
with me, and of course, Jeffy stayed at my side, and would snuggle with me
on one of the benches during my 'nap time.'

Andrew stayed on board as well, and as the dark cover of night was upon us,
and the only sound was the hum of the diesels, I found Andrew making more
and more excuses to be closer to me, and brush against me.  Perhaps it was
my overactive imagination, I thought.

However, that thought would soon be dashed out.  Andrew stepped upon the
helm while Brandon and Jeffy were sleeping.

"I can't sleep.  Is it okay if I sit here?" He whispered to me.

"Sure.  I could use the company."  "The sky sure is pretty." Andrew said,
moving his left leg closer to me.

"Yes, I love the stars out here.  So clear and bright."

"I'm gonna miss all this." He said, finally softly touching his leg against
mine.  I didn't move away, and neither did he.  The heat from his skin felt
wonderful against me.  "I wish I could stay out here forever."

"I know.  Sometimes, I sail out by myself, just to get away from the city
and the noise.  The waters are still untouched by 'progress' and it's still
the way man looked upon it hundreds of years ago."  I pressed my leg closer
to him, and he didn't pull away.

"It's really nice out tonight." Andrew said, as he pulled his uniform shirt
up over his head.  His pale, hairless skin shone in the helm lights.

"A nice warm breeze too.  Not enough wind to sail, but still nice."  I
gently placed my right hand on his leg.

Surprisingly, Andrew placed his hand on top of mine, and we just sat there
for a moment, enjoying the stillness and peacefulness of the night.

"Brandon really looks up to you, Captain." Andrew finally spoke, gently
stroking my hand.

"He's a good person, Andrew.  He loves with his whole heart."

"Yeah, he does.  But, he talks about you all the time."

My heart stopped for a moment.  Did Brandon talk about me sexually?  I
wondered, but did not speak.

"He said you're awesome in bed."  Andrew caught my eyes, gauging my
response.  Then, slowly, he moved his upward toward my swelling crotch.

I moved my hand to his, and pulled it to my swelling bulge, and Andrew
gently squeezed the rising monster trapped in my shorts.

Then, Andrew slid off the chair and stood right next to me, stroking my
cock through the fabric.  My now leaking dick began to form a circular wet
spot on the front of my shorts.

I closed my eyes for a moment, enjoying the boy's tender touch, and when I
opened them again, Andrew had slid his shorts down to his ankles, letting
his stiff dick feel the warm breeze.

I moved my hand around, grasped the stiff shaft of his hot cock, and began
stroking it.

"Mmmmm, that feels nice." Andrew whispered to me.  Then, Andrew unsnapped
my shorts, and fished inside for my cock.  It was hard and easy to find,
but not so easy to pull out of my constraining shorts.  I stood up from the
chair, and let them fall to the deck.

Andrew kneeled down, and wrapped his young hot lips around my cock, licking
my precum from the tip.

I leaned back against the chair, for fear of falling down, and closed my
eyes again.  Thank God we were miles from land, as I was no longer watching
which way I was steering.  I merely held on and enjoyed the attention.

Andrew began licking my piss slit, begging the precum to ooze forward.  I
wanted to touch him again, so I placed my hand under his chin, gently
lifting him up to me.

My dick slid out from his hungry mouth with a pop, and as soon as he stood,
I once again, grabbed his 4-1/2-inch dick and continued to stroke his
shaft.

Andrew and I continued jerking each other's cock.  My hunger for his pale
white ass only grew more and more, but with piloting the ship, I knew this
was all I could do.

Andrew began to pant, and I knew his orgasm was building.  The feeling of
his cock in my hand caused my own leaking cock to build its peak.

"Oh yeah, here it comes." Andrew moaned, and then his body froze up, as the
first jet of boy cum shot from between my fingers and onto the deck.  I
continued milking his precious fluid from his young balls, as my own hot
ropes of man juice blasted from the tip, drenching his arm and chest.

As his dick began to soften, I gently pinched it between my fingers and
drained the last few drops from him.

"Brandon was right about you." Andrew said, through his recovering breath.

"Thanks for keeping me company, Andrew." I said, just before I planted a
large passionate kiss on his lips.

Andrew returned my kiss and even allowed me to dance with his tongue.

---

The rising sun warmed my skin, and as I opened my eyes and felt Jeffy's
soft hair against my bare chest, I prayed right at that moment, that time
would stand still and I would always have him with me.  But, the answer to
my prayer was 'no' and the sun continued to rise.

"Good morning, Brandon." I said, as I stood up, gently placing my sleeping
Jeffy back down on the blanket.

"Good morning, Captain."

"Still on course?"

"Yes, Sir." Brandon replied proudly.

"Good.  I'm going to check my map and the radar.  We should be close.  The
shoreline is beginning to look familiar again.  Steady as she goes,
Brandon."

"Aye, aye, Sir."

After checking my charts, radar, and redoing my calculations, I returned on
deck, just in time to see Andrew kiss Brandon and head to the deck stairs.

"Well, somebody looks like they slept well." I chuckled as Andrew passed
me.

"Yes, thank you.  Did you?"

"Yes, I had a very good evening." I winked at him, and he headed below to
the galley.

"Start steering toward that shoreline," I directed Brandon, as Jeffy came
up behind me, hugging me tightly.

"Well, good morning to you too." I said, as I turned and lifted him to my
chest.  "I'm going to take my little Mate here down to the galley.  I'll be
back shortly."

"Aye, aye, Captain," Brandon said as he continued his course, moving closer
to the shoreline.

When I got Jeffy settled in the galley, I grabbed two bowls of the morning
oatmeal that Andrew had prepared and headed back up to the helm.

"Here you go." I said as I handed Brandon a bowl, and sat in the seat next
to his.

"It's going to be a good day," Brandon smiled as he took his first bite of
breakfast.

"Mm, hmm," I mumbled through my full mouth.

---

Within two hours, we arrived at the Santa Cruz pier.  It was only eight
o'clock in the morning, but there was already a hustle and bustle of the
morning visitors.

I paid our mooring fees, and gathered the boys.  We disembarked from The
Mighty Miss and returned to our play land at the Boardwalk.

The rides were just opening up as we arrived, as though they were waiting
for our return.  Once again, the stares at the boys' uniforms were obvious,
and all but ignored by the boys.

We partnered up and took on the Boardwalk like we owned the place.  All of
us screamed for dear life as we rode the roller coaster.  After three spins
in the Casino Wheel, we opted to take a break, as it looked as though
Miwaka and Binder were going to lose what little breakfast they still had
left.

An hour later, we stepped into the hamburger restaurant on the Boardwalk,
and ordered up our meals.

After lunch, it was back to Captain's Paradise for more rounds of putt-putt
golf, arcade games and Billiards.  Miwaka managed to show us a trick or two
that Steven had taught him, and although Shaun seemed a bit jealous, a
quick peck on the cheek resolved any bad feelings.

As nighttime fell on the Boardwalk, the music got louder and the ride
lights lit up the place like a festival.

The twelve of us were inseparable, and had another great day of fun and
laughter.  After a quick dinner, we began our walk back to the ship.  Jeffy
looked as though he would fall asleep in a New York minute, so I picked him
up and carried him to the ship.

Soon his head lay on my shoulder and he was out.  Andrew smiled at me, and
nodded, confirming that Jeffy had fallen asleep.

"I don't blame him.  I'm tired too." Thomas said.

"Well, we'll get you boys on board and you can hit the bunks.  Brandon?
When we get on board, get the crew settled into their cabins and I'll get
the ship launched out to sea."

"Yes, Sir," Brandon yawned.

Once on board, the boys quickly undressed and settled into their cabins.  I
took Jeffy to my cabin, laid him gently on the bunk, and began undressing
his limp body.

His pale skin glistened from the day's activities, and I planted a sweet
kiss on his forehead.  "Good night, Matey," I whispered, as I pulled the
sheet over his naked torso.

He almost instantly rolled over and fell back into his deep dream filled
sleep.

I returned on deck, pulled up the lines, yelled thanks to the dock worker,
and fired up two of the diesels.  The Mighty Miss softly hummed, and I
pushed the throttles gently forward, slowly slipping from our berth.

As we began to pull away, I saluted the Boardwalk as a respectful goodbye,
and softly whispered thanks for providing another great day of fun for my
boys.

The night was absolutely crystal clear.  It was warm, but not humid, and
the stars shined so brightly, it felt as though you pick one right from the
sky, and drop it into your pocket for safe keeping.

As I left Santa Cruz behind us, a quiet peace fell around my ship.  The
boys were all asleep, and the only noise was the muffled rumble of my
engines and the occasional SLAP, SPLASH, KShhh, on the sides of The Mighty
Miss.

"Well, Missy," I said out loud.  "You've done one hell of a job taking care
of us.  I'm going to be sorry to see this trip end."  I felt a knot develop
in my throat, and a tear well in my eye.  "Me, too." I heard from behind
me.

"Miwaka?  What are you doing up here?"  He had surprised me, as I didn't
hear him come on deck.

"I'm kinda wired from today."  He softly smiled at me.

"Well, you're welcome to keep me company, if you'd like."

Miwaka answered by taking the chair next to mine, and looking out onto the
dark, peaceful ocean.

"It's peaceful out here," he finally said after a long silence.

"It's the reason I love the sea so much.  When I'm out here, especially on
nights like this, it's like the world is such a better place.  Nothing can
touch me."  I said softly, occasionally looking over at the boy.

"Captain?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you." He said, somewhat bowing his head.

"For what?"

"For everything.  For rescuing me; for accepting me into this crew; for the
eman...eman..."

"Emancipation," I corrected him.

"Yeah, emancipation.  For everything; but mostly, thanks for believing in
me, and giving me a second chance at life."  He looked away from me.  At
17, you're not supposed to be vulnerable.

I put a hand under his chin and turned his face to me.  "You're welcome,
Miwaka.  I'm glad I found you."

"Captain?"

"Yes."

"Did you mean what you said about me staying with you?"  There it was.  I
knew the boy had been thinking about things.  I could read it in his facial
expressions, especially when the boys talked about the journey ending.
"Yes, I most certainly did."  I looked at him and then I brushed my hand
along his cheek.  "But, only if YOU want to stay here.  You're your own man
now, Miwaka.  It's up to you to decide."

"Timiwaka," he whispered.

"Timiwaka!" I answered.

Miwaka slid from his chair and headed to the deck door, and then turned to
me.  "I love you, Michael McFlannery."  He turned and went below before I
could answer.

"I love you, too, Miwaka." I whispered, fighting back the now prevalent
tears.

I piloted for some time, alone, in the stillness of the night, allowing my
mind and my heart to work through the gambit of emotions that were flooding
my thoughts.  Oh how I ached for some of my Cognac.

I located a wide, but deserted outcropping and steered The Mighty Miss into
her resting place for the night.  I killed the engines and let her softly
drift in until I dropped the anchor with a loud SPA-LOOSH!

"Good night, Missy.  Sleep well." I said, tapping the wheel as I secured it
in place.

I entered the deck door, and locked it securely behind me, and then retired
to my cabin.

"I tried to wait up for you." Jeffy said through his groggy voice, as I
slipped in next to him.

"Shhh, it's okay, Mister Man.  Go back to sleep.  I'm here now."  I slipped
my arm under his head, and he immediately snuggled into the crook of my
arm.

"Good night, Jeffy.  Sweet dreams."  And I kissed him again on his soft
head.

---

BANG, BANG, BANG!  "Hey, you sleepy heads gonna stay in there all day?"
Thomas yelled from outside my cabin.

"Huh?  What?"  I leaned over and fixed my blurry vision on the clock.  As
my eyes focused, I saw that it was nine o'clock.  "Holy Shit!" I yelled.
"I'm sleeping in later and later!  I think you're becoming a bad
influence."  I nudged Jeffy in the ribs.

"Tee hee," he giggled, as he wiggled his naked butt from my bunk.
"Shower?"

"Only if we hurry."  I stepped in under the warm rushing water.

"Wash my back, please." Jeffy requested, handing me the soap.

He turned from me and I began to lather the soap along his slender back,
lower back and his butt.

As the soap bubbles increased, I left them drip into the crack of his tight
pale ass.  And then, I slipped my hand into his ass crack, rubbing in the
soap, and brushing my finger along his boy pussy.

Jeffy looked up at me and smiled, and then went back to washing his own
chest, belly, and dick.

My morning hard on had not gone down and now was gently bumping into
Jeffy's soapy backside.  Jeffy backed in closer to me, causing my dick to
jump.

Then, as though he had planned the whole event, bent over slightly without
saying a word.

I brushed my finger along his hole again, letting the tip of it slip
inside.

"Mmmm," he moaned, so I probed him again.  "Mmmmm."

I lathered up my own dick, which caused my precum to leak from the tip.

Then I pointed my stiff cock between his cheeks and pushed gently until my
head kissed his hole.  I wanted to go slow and work my way in, but Jeffy
had other ideas, as he pushed back against me, forcing the head of my hot
cock inside his tight hole.

"Oh yeah, Cappy." He said.

"You like that?" I whispered, pushing a little more of my throbbing shaft
into him.

"Mmmmm, yeah." He moaned back, pushing his slippery body against me.

He laid his head back against my chest and looked up at me.  I leaned down
and pressed my wet lips to his, passionately kissing my boy.

As our embrace broke, Jeffy pushed back further, slipping the rest of my
manhood deep inside his tight hole.

As I began to pull out of him, he whined slightly, as though I were taking
a toy away from him.  I pushed back in and the whining ceased.

It went like that for the next three slow withdrawal and advancements.
Slowly out and then push back in.

I could feel my precum escape from me, and leak deep into his boy tunnel.

Soon, my own lust filled energy kicked in, and I quickened my pace, fucking
my boy deeper and faster; the soap lubricating my pathway.

I reached around and finding Jeffy's erect boy dick, I began to pull on it
in rhythm to my thrusts.

It wasn't long before I could feel Jeffy's body tighten, as he shot two
watery but strong streams of hot boy cum from his dick.

As his cum exploded from his body, he tightened his hole around my cock,
milking my passionate orgasm from me.

I thrust into him and held fast as my first spray of man juice coated the
walls of his love tunnel.  My second and third shots quickly followed, and
I could feel Jeffy begin to shiver as he recovered from the orgasmic bliss.

I wrapped my arm around him, and held him tightly to me, as he regained his
strength.

My softening cock slipped from his ass, and I turned him toward the shower
spray, rinsing the suds and lust from our bodies.

After finishing our shower, I toweled Jeffy off, and he bounded back to the
bunk, and started dressing for the day.  BANG, BANG, BANG!  "You guys
coming to breakfast?  Andrew saved you some eggs." Thomas yelled again.

"We'll be right there," I answered back.

---

The rest of the crew had long since finished their breakfast, but out of
respect, Andrew had saved some of the breakfast food and was keeping it
warm in the oven when we entered the galley.

"Are you all right, Captain?" Brandon asked.

"Just a late start this morning.  I'm fine.  Thank you for holding
breakfast, Andrew."  Jeffy and I sat down, as Andrew served us.

"We'll be shoving off in fifteen minutes, Brandon, so ready the crew.  We
have to make San Diego by seven tonight."
