Chapter Seven

Though Kerri was already exhausted, Harden took her directly to the Malibu Sports Pier, where his twenty-five foot sailboat, Silverstar, awaited them. Red and white and highly polished, the small crew nodded respectfully to Harden and stepped aside as he led Kerri onto the boat, water lapping casually against the hull.

“It’s beautiful,” Kerri said.

“It’s nothing compared to you.”

They retired to the sun deck while the crew kept out of sight, rigging the sails and setting them out onto the choppy blue Pacific. Sunlight bounced off the water in silver slivers, shards of glare cutting through the endless marine blue ocean. The wind was stronger farther out on the ocean, and that gleaming boat was soon racing across the surface, sails filled and round, hull bouncing against the water.

Kerri felt each strike of the water against her loins, the entire experience like some great public fuck; the hull pounding against the wet waves, over and over in a quick cycle, faster and harder and farther than she’d ever gone before.

Then something off the starboard bow caught Kerri’s eye, a flash of black and white leaping up out of the water. It seemed to hover slightly before falling back with a splash of white foam. Kerri’s heart jumped and she pointed it out, Harden following her line of sight. “That was a killer whale, I think!”

Harden said, “Really ? Maybe we should have brought the yacht.”

“Maybe the yacht ? Well, that’s a question we all have to ask ourselves eventually, right?”

Another orca broke the surface, this one much closer to the boat. It was huge, a thick round torso shining with a watery film, white patches over perfect, unblemished black. It fell back to the surface with a great, almost vengeful splash, water hitting Kerri in the face.

“It almost seems like it’s mad as us, like it wants us to get away.”

Harden chuckled. “They swam up to us!”

“Even so.”

Another big orca breached a few yards from the boat, opening its mouth to reveal those rows of deadly teeth before landing with another hard splash. Kerri’s heart jumped, looking around with greater terror to realize that the water around the boat was bristling with black fins and blasts of blowhole steam.

“They’re all around us!”

“It’s okay, Kerri, don't worry!”- Kerri was holding on to her seat as the boat bounced around, careening forward, surrounded by the deadliest creatures of the ocean, Harden stood up walking with the steadiness despite the boat’s chaotic bounce, all the way to the bow. He grabbed a cable stretching from the bow to the mast and stood facing outward. Another orca jumped up out of nowhere, a few yards off the port side.— Despite its size and swiftness, the boat rocked in the wake of the whale's landing. Kerri felt sick, but Harden just laughed.

“Yes, yes,” he called out, laughing even harder as another black and white whale leapt up out of the chop and then dropped down hard, showering him with white spray and inspiring his laughter to even greater heights.
