“What an awesome anchorage!” Casey said, standing next to her dad on the bow of the Sarah J. as they waited to make sure the anchor wasn’t dragging before going back to the cockpit to join Tara and Rebecca.

“Yes, it’s fantastic! And all ours! Larry was right about these cays being off the beaten path.”

“Uncle Larry knows all the good spots,” Casey agreed. “He’s been to all of them. I wouldn’t mind seriously spending some time here. I’ll bet the fishing is really good too.”

“I suspect we’ll have a few weeks here at least. You know there’s a lot to do to get ready to go offshore again. It’s just too bad about our timing, with hurricane season and all. I’m like you, I’d just as soon stay here, and I know Tara feels the same way.”

“Nothing’s going to change Uncle Larry’s mind though.”

“Nope. You got that right, Casey.”

“I’m looking forward to getting to know Charles and his family. It’s so nice to meet new people we don’t have to shoot at for a change!”

“I agree! They are mighty good folks. They sure didn’t have to help us get off that sandbar, much less tow us all the way here.”

“They seemed happy to do it. I guess they’ve been craving company too, even if we’re not the friends they thought we were when they saw the catamaran.”

“Yeah, it’s the lifestyle they’re used to. Larry’s told me all about it. These retired cruising folks just go from anchorage to anchorage to hang out with their buddies. Charles seems to think they can keep on doing it. I guess they’ve been a lot luckier than us. They’ve missed the worst of it.”

“Well, I’ve got a feeling it’s our turn to get lucky too,” Casey said. “We survived everything this far. I think we deserve a break, don’t you, Dad?”

“I’d say so, but I’m not counting on it, and you shouldn’t either. All we can do is just take things as they come, just like we have been. One day at a time, Casey. One day at a time.”

Late that afternoon, with the sailboat and the big trawler both securely anchored a couple hundred feet apart off Flamingo Cay, Charles motored over to the Sarah J. in the dinghy to invite the whole crew aboard Pocket Change for dinner.

“Holly and Brian are working on it now. It’s going to be quite a spread, and we won’t take no for an answer. If you need a hand helping Scully out of the cabin, I’ll be glad to do it. Holly insists that we not exclude him, unless he’s simply in too much pain to get out. If he is, we’ll bring a plate to him here.”

“He can make it,” Artie said. “Scully’s one tough dude. One AK round to the leg is not going to keep him down for long.”

“Glad to hear it! Let’s get him in the dinghy first and once we get him aboard our boat, I’ll come back for the girls.
