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.
