Chapter 14 - Shipwrecked!

Not many people can claim to have been shipwrecked and marooned on a desert island. But I can! Okay, the island wasn’t really a desert island. It was Koh Samet. The sign reads - Koh Samet, the paradise island - and there were enough hotels, bars, restaurants, shops and ATM’s for me to survive on the island. Well, that and my natural survival skills of course!

Les had been working on the boat more and more. His friend had arrived from up north to help him. He called his friend ‘The Professor’. Basically it was because he looked like one - always wearing his tinted prescription glasses on the end of his nose. And he had his own explanation for everything that had ever happened in the world. He was a long term resident of Thailand and had run bars in Pattaya for over 10 years. He had had two long term relationships with Thai women that failed and he lost everything. His latest relationship had just hit the rocks. (I should have taken that as an omen!). He lost everything that he had left after he had lost nearly everything when his first long term relationship had failed! He smiled a lot and was a nice looking man for his age. He was good company and I liked him. Les had introduced us when he arrived to stay at Les’s house. Each day he shouted out a hello and waved, then spent most of each day working on the boat with Les. I was busy writing, but I could hear their laughter and chatter as they worked on the boat while I sat on my balcony typing my latest book. It was a Thursday morning when Les came to see me.

“The boat’s ready,” he said in his thick Geordie accent. “Well almost, but ready enough to sail. We are leaving in two hours. Are you ready?”

“Wow! Thanks for the long notice Les. Where are we going?”

“I thought about sailing to Koh Samet. I reckon it’s about a six hour sail. We can stay on the island for the night and sail back tomorrow.”

“Okay. In two hours then?”

“Yes. We have to sail then or we will miss the tide.”
