FOUR DAYS AT SEAand Katey hadnt seen Boyd even once since the morning they sailed down the Thames into the English Channel. And their conversation that morning before they cast off had been brief. They had merely discussed their immediate destination, after hed told her he had to send that information to his Skylark office before they sailed.

“I would suggest the Caribbean, he told her. “Its an area Im very familiar with, since its always been one of Skylarks trading routes. The waters are warm, the weather always balmy, the beaches pristine. At most any time of the year it will feel like summer.

She hadnt intended to be disagreeable just to be disagreeable, though that would certainly be the case now after the man had ignored her for four days. She hadnt really expected that, nor how quickly it had aggravated her. Possibly because she had intended to ignore him and he wasnt around to notice!

But that morning shed said, “I dont want to spend long weeks again at sea, at least not this soon. I would also prefer to stay on this side of the world since were already here. So lets just sail south, shall we?

“To?

“Youre the sailor, at least you likely know much more about the world than I do. You implied there were many choices to choose from. Lets hear them.

He didnt have to think about it for more than a few seconds. “The Mediterranean then? Its a large body of water that comprises a number of seas within it. It offers access to the south of Europe on the north side of it, Spain, Italy, Greece, even the southern coast of France, and a large number of islands around them, all of which will still be quite warm. In fact the entire area offers spring-like weather all year long. Then on the south side of the Mediterranean is Africa, and to the east

“Africa sounds interesting.

“Yes, but its not a country youre actually going to want to travel inland in.

“Why not?

“Because its mostly desert. Besides, we can stop at a few of its open ports once we get beyond the Barbary Coast, to give you a feel for the country. You can decide then if youd like to see more of it.

“The Barbary Coast? Shed never heard the name before. “Why cant we stop there?

“Its mostly just pirate bases and

“ Wait just a minute. Pirates?

He gave her a slight wince, but quickly tempered it with a shrug and an unconcerned tone. “Pirates are an unfortunate fact of life in many parts of the world, but they are particularly active in warmer waters. Surely you knew that before you began this trip?

She simply stared at him incredulously. Shed known nothing of the sort, but she was too speechless to say so at the moment. Her tutor either hadnt been aware of these “facts or he hadnt thought it an appropriate subject for a child.
