This week's invention is seafaring, a cornerstone of humanity's history as we have explored the world, chased down the horizon, and - very importantly - moved things from one place to another. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seafaring pioneers are spearheading a comeback for wind power in the shipping industry, to try to make a dent in its huge carbon footprint. The international merchant fleet of more than 100,000 ships that transports most of the world's trade is responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Now the return of ocean-going cargo ships that mainly use sails for propulsion could help solve shipping's need for alternatives to fossil fuels. Captain of the Grain de Sail II cargo carrier Yann Jourdan says, “We always use the sails and only the sails. I mean, we don't use the engine, even in really bad weather.” With its aluminum hull, two giant carbon-fiber masts, mechanized systems for hauling and adjusting the billowing sails, and its bridge bristling with high-tech navigation gear, Grain de Sail II is a supercharged modern update of the sailing clippers of yesterday. The speediest of its four crossings so far to New York took 17 days, and just 15 days on the return trip. “Last crossing, we did a maximum speed of 18 knots and an average speed of 11 knots,” says the captain. The cleanest of the new vessels spearheading wind's embryonic revival are almost pure-sail vessels like Grain de Sail II. Half the length of a soccer field and able to carry 350 tons of goods in its hold, it uses its diesel engine only to maneuver in and out of port. “We want to not only reduce the carbon footprint, we want to kill it,” says Jacques Barreau, co-founder of the Grain de Sail firm with his twin brother, Olivier. They used profits from their chocolate-making and coffee-roasting business in western France to finance their first sail-powered cargo ship, the Grain de Sail I. He foresees a future with thousands of sailing cargo vessels. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Ahoy, Matey! The Serenade of the Seas arrived in St. John's yesterday. The Morning Show's Jessica Singer met some passengers on the waterfront.

The Trimaran makes it's debut.By 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Cujo was working on the port side engine when his cousin Kim warned him about the vessel approaching. It had no identification on the radar, and in these waters it could be a pirate ship or a fishing ship, so it had to be observed, in case rough measures were called for.Marko was at the helm of the Flipper, and the radio quickly squawked out his warning."Unknown vessel please identify yourself and hold off," He instructed, just to be formal. If the ship was fishing, it would not be likely that they would have a radio.Their salvage craft had not been named yet, although radar would show it as 'SV Jenny'. Kim knew what to do, bearing off at the best angle of escape, while the Flipper stayed on their beam."They have changed direction in an obvious move to intercept us," Kim shouted out for Cujo, so the big guy would get ready for action.When he came up top, he had a military shotgun and a flak vest, with another vest in hand for his friend."Mayday, mayday, I have an unidentified vessel pursuing us at high speed, and we will be repelling any attempt to board us," Marko informed whoever was listening. His vessel could easily get away, but he was running security for his friend, and he was well equipped to do just that."Fire that 50 cal well in front of them Marko!" Cujo commanded.Ten seconds later another cousin, who had military training fired their old machine gun, making a hell of a racket which any sailor would respond to immediately.The response unfortunately was the opening of the port side windows and the barrels of two AK47s were pushed out, and fired without aiming."Rake it!" Cujo commanded over the microphone, just as Jasper opened fire directly at the waterline at the bow.The 50 caliber bullets tore through the boat as if it was paper mache, and the nose dipped enough to know that the boat was damaged badly enough that it might not make it to shore. The pursuit was over, and Cujo was satisfied that they hadn't deliberately killed anyone.There would be no assistance offered to the Honduras Pirates, but the incident was reported without mention of the machine gun."I'm heading back down to finish that turbo repair," Cujo told Kim. "Let Marko know they did great, but they can't go ahead of us until we are well into Belize.""Eye eye Admiral," Kim joked."Keep some eyes on the horizon tonight, I want three on watch at a time so there will be no surprises," Cujo growled, "They must be desperate, if they're attacking two vessels, watch closely for another ship.""Try to put me on a late watch, if I get this engine going, we'll be motoring faster than anyone else can go." Cujo growled as he pushed himself into his 24th hour.Kim heard the port engine roar to life about an hour later, and ten minutes later Cujo came up, looking tired, but triumphant."Let's open her up but watch the temp," he commanded his first mate. The sails were no use to them at this time of year, unless they wanted to smash against the current and the wind.Soon they were up to 7 knots, and Cujo knew that they would never be caught at that speed."Can I get two hours Kim?""Sure, bro, I've got the helm and I'll wake you in 2 hours or sooner if I need you.All he got was a thumbs up as Cujo dropped into a lounge chair. He was snoring in less than five minutes.Kim let him sleep until he couldn't stay awake himself, and then he woke his captain with a light touch on his well muscled shoulder."Sorry Cap, but I need you," he explained the situation."The sun is on the horizon, and Terry is at the helm on the Flipper,""Thanks for the extra Z's Kim, I'm getting old," Cujo murmured."Well, with good Captaining, and our 50 cal, you get to be another day older bro," Kim explained the way things work."Those other dudes either had a life raft, or they're in the drink, cause their boat disappeared from the radar, well before it should have," Kim reported."Good riddance to thieving rubbish," Cujo growled, "They poked the wrong bear," he roared out to the wind.The rest of the sail was uneventful, and they found themselves coasting into their dock two days later, with kids running out to welcome them. Other Captains used their horns to welcome the new addition to the Seafaring Delight Charters.They now employed over a dozen Belizians in the business, while they were mostly part time, that is the way they liked it. In Belize, working more than 20 hours a week was scoffed at. There was fishing and diving and farming to provide food, so why work your tail off?Marny didn't see it as working. She just kept on going, like the energizer bunny on the commercial. She keeps going and going..."We need more dock space," she complained, "...but Old man Burly has me hemmed in!"Java had to be the voice of reason. "You're just going to have to see what he wants mom, he's got us by the short hairs, and he knows it. See what he needs," she suggested."I think I could convince him to sell, if I threw you in for a night of bliss," Marny teased her daughter, recalling how often the old man came out of his home, when Java was working on the dock."Don't be offering my virtue, he'd fuck you just as quick mom, I mean, if he can!" Java giggled.Marny knocked on the wooden plank that Mr. Burly called a door."Hey Tomas, are you home," she hollered, while banging her fist on the door."Don't break it down you crazy bitch," Tomas Burly moaned as he pushed the door open, proving that hinges were actually a part of the mechanism. "Why are you interrupting my nap?" he declared."We want to buy out your 75 feet on our South," Marny explained. "What do you want for it Tomas?""I need two things, Mar, and one you don't got!" Mr. Burly instructed his neighbor. "I need to sell both sides, which I bet you can cover, but I need a nice retirement spot, and a woman to cook and comfort me during my old age."Marny thought about it, and realized that it was not only a reasonable request, but she probably had a cousin or two that Tomas could choose from, with their own cabin too, though it was a 'shack' by North American standards, they were good homes to them, and when a cyclone tears them down, they just gather up the debris, and remake their homes, better than they had been before, which wasn't asking too much."I'll get back to you, but in the meantime, how much for both ends?" Marny needed to be prepared to hear the full cost of their expansion."I'll take 100k for the 200 feet, or rent it to you for 10, per year,'' he shrewdly offered."How about 10 percent of our profits for ten years, and a home to enjoy it in," Marny countered."I need 25 thousand for my bar tab," he insisted."We will cover that," Marny offered, and Tomas shook her hand. "You can start your dock work right away then, but what about the woman?" He moaned hopefully.I can make no promises there Tomas, but if you continue to maintain the docks, we will give you a small pension, and all of my cousins love a man with a pension, and you can take your time picking one, she shrewdly offered her captivated neighbor. His eyes hadn't left Marny's upturned nipples during the entire conversation. She had been smart to negotiate topless."Is it really hard, Tomas," Marny asked in a smoky voice."Yes," he grunted, but his mind was elsewhere."Do you want to yank it right now Tomas? Go ahead, let's see it," Marny whispered.Tomas pulled it out, and started to slowly stroke it, not like a maniac at all.His penis didn't look like some shriveled piece of liver. It was actually not too awful looking Marny thought."My cousins will shake your world Tomas, very like how I am going to do you right now," Marny explained, then she dropped to her knees and she gently took over yanking the old dick on her tits, smiling all the time."My Aunties love the taste, but it's not for me," Marny explained with a laugh, as Tomas Burly sealed his deal with his loving neighbor.Marny would sleep well tonight, knowing that a friendship with Tomas was very much in their best interests. The Burly brothers had worked hard to create these docks, and they had been well maintained."Can you watch the kids tonight mom," Java asked, her husband had been away for 5 days!"Of course my dear, that's what Nana's are for!" Marny responded, smiling inside. It's wonderful when your daughter finds a man like Cujo, and she has him mesmerized.But you couldn't blame a Nana who has 'accidentally' seen her son in law's full erection. That is something that she could not see, and then, 'not see'.She also knew that Java kept it spicy in their bedroom, bringing in swinging couples, with confidence. Java had Captained many times now that they had two functioning vessels, and that didn't seem to bother Java or Cujo."We are going to check out every cabin in our new boat," Java confessed to her mother. "I asked Rob to show me how I would have been ravished, if he wasn't there to save my virtue." Cujo's real name was Rob, though only the family knew it. Cujo was a name that Stephen King would have called him, had he known him.Rob was a lot like a St. Bernard in that he was bigger than normal, stronger than normal, and more loving than you could ask for, unless there was trouble... Then you wanted Cujo, and you wanted him on your side.A third charter vessel would really set them as a high end Retreat and Spa."We need two more Captains, and I'm thinking we can entice a couple of Nurses that have, or will soon have their Certified Sexual Therapist credentials," Shylo explained during their weekly Company Meeting.With their medical qualifications they can certainly get work visas in Belize, and they could get permanent resident status in about 5 years, if they want that option.As the Company grew, their client list grew too, even though their required advance screening, now included a discrete psych evaluation with the blood work, and visual inspection, which could include other testing, etc.They considered themselves lucky, that herpes or genital warts hadn't slashed through their ranks, and now they had simple protocols that reasonable adults might want to put into place, if they're going to have adult fun in the sun!Chloe was a great choice. She was on the stout side, but that made her more commanding, which wasn't lost on a Captain. She had proven to be a great repeat crew member, and she wasn't attached to any one person in her Chattanooga neighborhood. When a big student debt was revealed, Shylo's institution was happy to shift some funds, to relieve that debt, and give them a big tax write off too.Chloe would get an offer that would include shares in the business, so that she would have a personal interest in everything. Shylo flew to Chattanooga to make the offer on behalf of Seafaring Delight Charters. Everyone was confident that Chloe could learn the skills to be a Charter Captain, but Chloe decided to take a 6 month sabbatical from the Hospital, which she could gain through her Union as a 'skill enhancement' period.She was newly certified in Sexual Therapy, so taking 6 months in a clinical environment to solidify those skills was not unusual, though it brought a smile to everyone's face."I fully believe that you will only be back here to sell everything that you can't bring with you," Shylo explained to Chloe."I hope you're right, I am tired of 'not quite fitting in'," Chloe sighed. "I never really feel the love, anywhere that I go.""We need to figure out the Who of what you're looking for," Shylo suggested. "Or the multiple 'Whos," she seriously intoned. "Some people don't connect like others do. "What part of the body do you find the most attractive Chloe?""Well... to tell you the truth, I just love the mouth," Chloe admitted. "It can be a man, a woman, old or young, if I see it, I want to lick it and kiss it, and look at it closely.""Unusual," Shylo admitted, then she ran her tongue slowly around her lips, while Chloe watched."Oh, that's not fair," she squealed."Do you want these lips on your pillow? Chloe? Do you want to love them for the night?""Oh, so unfair," she moaned.Shylo did not take off any clothes, she merely lay in Chloe's bed, with her lips, center stage.Chloe began with little kisses, all around Shylo's open maw. Then her tongue couldn't get enough, with kitten licks she tickled a lip, while her hands were probing Shylo's body, removing clothes along the way.The kissing never stopped as Chloe pushed her fingers into Shylo's love nest. She easily found the G spot, and lightly started to stroke her desire into her lover, while she remained obsessed with Shylo's lips."Oh, my dear, you're going to find lots of love in Belize," Shylo was convinced that Chloe's fetish would not be a problem. "Once your lover knows what you want, you will be loved, my beautiful friend, and with that Shylo burst into an orgasm, and she allowed herself to fully express her passion, to Chloe's delight.Within three months, Cujo and his crew had Jenny restored to a better state than she had been the day she ran aground. The official naming day brought out the usual scallywags and drunkards, most of whom got 30 or 40 days of work in these yards over the past 3 months, enough to keep them happy for a long time. If you want a cabinet maker or an avionics expert, Belize has the best, and they are all cousins of Marny's family.Marny would be the first to Captain the Emerald of the Fleet.This vessel was being premiered as a luxury health spa, so the weekly fee was a staggering $10k per person. They had three couples in for the maiden voyage, so it would be caviar and shrimp, produced by the best chief that Marny could scrape up, and she was a cousin!Ruby was 28 years old, and a single mother of 3, her brood would school with Marny's grandchildren, and they would be watched over by her best friend Caraco.

Sharon and Pam expand the business and meet new people.By 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Sharon wondered what it was like when most people woke up? Even on the fourth week of a month long vacation, they probably don't wake up after an evening of drinking, smoking, sex and love making? Even then, are they next to a willing partner, if they want a sunrise treat?"Good morning My Love, do you need me?" Pam whispered, as she inched up Sharon's smooth thigh."Maybe, if you want to try that tongue thing that the Dentist from Milwaukee showed us?" Sharon suggested, remembering back to some balding, but enthusiastic guy.Pam responded with action, She figured her wife would want some loving, and she was ready for it. They could fool themselves, and make believe that a mutual orgasm wasn't the goal, but it usually was, even at 8 bells on a Tuesday morning in the small bay of an obscure Belizean Island.Pam may have been the first to get her tongue in a warm slit, but Sharon could still count to 69, and she was very familiar with her brunette partner, and what she liked around the clit.The harder they tried to make their spouse cum first, the more intense the moans got, until everyone was gathered at the Captain's hatch.Someone peeled the hatch open, and the six people started cheering on their favorite stripper-sailor, as they headed for sexual fruition.The sudden envelopment of light and sound, did little to quell the lust of the two beauties, as they enjoyed the exhibitionist side of their sexuality.Pam reached over, and grabbed a short and fat dildo and plopped it into Sharon's exposed love box.Sharon realized that Pam was playing dirty, so she got her mouth onto her pussy, and thrust two fingers into it, to find her g-spot before..."Oh!" Sharon shouted, as Pam started to pop the bulbous head of the short dildo, in and out, in and out, popping it for a well known effect.Pam would be the winner of this display, but everyone was happy to have shared it.It was the Pearl's turn to make breakfast, since no one wanted to be first up, in paradise.Two of the crew were from Detroit, one a nurse and the other a doctor. Pam was curious about a doctor wanting a free vacation so bad that she took a chance on their sexy Charter cruises, but this was the second time out for Phyllis, a 32 year old general practitioner and her cousin Gene, a 29 year old trauma nurse at the same hospital."I like sex, without attachments," Dr. Phyllis explained, "just like the Doctors and Lawyers that pay $5000 plus tip to sail on the same charter! Oh, and I know how much the tips are, cause I donated mine from my first trip to the Children's Hospital that we work at. I get to spend a week in the tropics with 4 men that are there more for the sex than the sun! This charter company makes me feel so lucky to have tits!" she declared.It was their morning to make breakfast, but their bunk-mates helped, as they set up the pancakes and bacon. They like to emphasize healthy eating on these cruises, but nothing says luxury quite like bacon, and the smell of coffee got people interested enough to smell the bacon and come forth, into the morning chill of 75 degrees."Shylo is coming out tomorrow!" Marny announced at breakfast. "She texted me this morning and I told her which one of my cousins would be able to get her out here the fastest.""There is always room for Shylo," Pam suggested, "Is she alone?""Yes, she was visiting Major Rodriguez in Panama, and she was heading home, but she had a proposition for 'Seafaring Delight Charters' and she wanted to share it with us in person, so I said come on over, of course." Marny really liked their sailing sex doctor. Shylo kept reminding them that she wasn't a 'Doctor' yet, but she certainly intended to get her Doctorate of Psychology, and she was still in school, so she was considered the brainiac of strippers at the Gingerbread House."She spends a lot of money on travel, but our Money Manager Carol says that she has 'family' money, so who knows," Sharon explained to Marny."She left me sore the last time she came through here," Marny pondered, "I had never been with a woman before you three ladies sailed into my life!""Well, you are a natural multi-sexual woman Marny, way ahead of your time," Pam teased.The Pearl's dinghy was heading for the other side of the island to catch some of the surf, and half a dozen adventurers were towing surf boards and paddle boards. The other dinghy was taking people to shore for exploration and private fun, while Marny stayed back at the sailboats.Pam wanted to explore the coast a bit closer, so Chad offered to go with her in a two person kayak. All they took with them was a jug of water, a tube of sunscreen, and their life jackets. They got their strokes synchronized quickly, and they paddled the opposite direction as the surfing party, so they were quickly on their own."Marny said that you and Sharon are Strippers in Hoboken, is that true?...I mean, you two are so hot that I wouldn't be surprised...""It is true Chad, do you go to strip clubs very often?" Pam asked."Our little town only has a topless bar, and it's not very nice," Chad responded, but I'm not too far outside of St. Louis, so we get to see the ladies there every now and then.""Are you a small town lawyer, Chad?" Pam questioned him."There are five lawyers in our town, but two are my sisters, so it's a small town and a family firm," Chad confessed with a shake of his head."Let's pull in over there Chad, I'd rather face you while we're getting to know each other," Pam suggested.They made sure that the kayak and paddles were secure before Pam grabbed the water bottle and started exploring.The small path was probably only used five times a year, so it wasn't easy to find their way, gradually upwards and away from the bay. A clearing was a natural spot to stop and survey the area. Pam realized that Chad just couldn't take his eyes off of her chest. He was in his mid thirties, and quite fit himself, but he obviously didn't have much experience with women, so Pam took pity on him."Do you have many opportunities for sex in that small town Chad," Pam took his hand gently, and pulled him to her."Oh, I'm so sorry Pam, I may have touched your breast..." but Pam had dropped to her knees, and took Chad's shorts with her. His cock had already started to stir, as Pam slipped it into her mouth."Oh, things are quite different in Strong Willow," Chad corrected his bold escort, while showing his backbone by not shying back while Pam double handed his testicles and licked the length of his 6 inches."Slow down Missy, if you don't mind I'd rather look into your eyes for our first time together."Pam realized that she was working this guy like a hooker works a John, so she stood, with Chad's help and let him take her into his arms.He did not hesitate to go in for a deep kiss, even though her tongue had run the length of his shaft just a moment ago. He lowered Pam to the grass and lay with her, enjoying the feel of her firm breast, he leaned in and kissed her some more, moving his tongue into her mouth, while exploring her nipple with his right hand. Pam let him take the lead, restricting her actions to tongue swirls and moans."These nipples are just the perfect size, and the way they upturn, hmm a guy could just look at them all afternoon!" Chad announced. He reached out and pinched a nib, making her jump. She pinched him, in retaliation and they rolled in each other's arms, finishing with Pam on top. She reached back and took his cock in her hand and fit it into her pussy, finding that it fit like Cinderellas foot in the wayward slipper.They pushed into each other, and Pam ground her labia into his pelvis, feeling the pressure of his cock on her cervix. They quickly found a comfortable pace that got faster as their passion increased. Chad's fingers explored Pam's breasts, like he was a blind man, though his eyes drank in the beauty like no blind eye could. Pam ran her hands over Chad's muscular chest and biceps. If Chad was a lawyer, he must be spending time in the gym, Pam realized as she did most of the work, lifting up and down on her latest fuck toy.They enjoyed a quick love wrestle, then resumed their exploration of the little island.Back at the Pearl, Marny had been warned of a heavier squall coming their way, and she shouted to the shore party to get their gear aboard.For once their com's worked, and Phyllis got the message to return immediately from their surfing, so Pam and Chad were the only ones to worry about.Marny did three blasts on the boat's air horn, then sent the second dinghy around the Western side of the Island where they found them, stroking home from their sexcapade.There was nowhere to run to. They had to separate their vessels, put out more chain, and set the anchor alarm to warn against dragging, while the wind picked up speed. Everyone secured the deck chairs and brought the towels in from the lines. Marny kept a tidy ship, so the sails and lines were already secure, but Pam and Marny double checked everything on their vessels.Just before the wind hit, Marny's cousin came speeding in, in an old Chris Craft with triple 300's on the transom. They pulled into the Pearl, knowing that Marny would be there.They only took two minutes to transport the athletic blond and her luggage. She certainly brought more than a few bikinis, but maybe she was hiding a midget? The taxi boat took off and sped away, expecting to outrun the approaching storm."Hi Ladies," Shylo spoke loudly into the microphone, not knowing how well the mic picked up her voice. "Can you hear us?""Yes, Shylo, we saw you come in, over," Sharon responded with no idea of proper radio protocols. "Should we come over, over," Sharon giggled."Let's wait for after breakfast," Shylo suggested, "I'm thinking I want to explore Belize tonight ladies, if you know what I mean.""I am with John Farris tonight Shylo, but maybe he won't mind the company," Marny responded without pressing the mic button.Mr. Farris was a fast learner, and certainly not a homophobe, which is a good thing, cause Marny was hungry for the soft touch of this white skinned sexpot. John was in fair shape, and only 37, but he couldn't keep up with his two lovers. He was sexually spent on the second round, but stayed awake for the finale.Shylo pulsed her vagina lips against Marny's larger and swollen labia in a scissor action. The moonlight came through the porthole and reflected off of Shylo's sweaty globes. The wind covered the sound of their grunts and moans and sighs, but they were still loud enough to make this a vivid memory for John.The ships spent the rest of the night separated by a steady wind of 40 knots. Sharon and Pam enjoyed a 'Carl the Accountant sandwich', then fell asleep with the three of them entwined.The morning brought a fresh paradise to the Caribbean, as it always did. The birds woke up the early risers soon after daybreak, but soon the heat brought everyone out of their cabins. Thoughts turned to water sports, or at least water fun.Breakfast was on the Opal, and Pam had Phyllis, Paul and Cory helping her with the omelets, one with meat and the other without. The men set up fruit and cereals for variety. Shylo gathered Pam, Sharon and Marny around the breakfast table.Shylo waited until only the four of them were left in the lounge of the Opal."As you all know, my field of study is 'Sexual Psychology'. It is my ambition to help people with their sexual problems, and it is my good fortune to have a big inheritance to help me get started," Shylo began. "So I shifted a lot of my Family Trust into a Non-Profit called Mindxes.""One important function of my new Foundation is to help people become Sexual Therapists, through an accrediting program that would take most college graduates only 6 courses to become certified. Even with no college, it only takes 10 courses and all of these classes are offered on the internet," she continued."My Organization will pay the tuition and all medical exams and certification fees for anyone in your employment that takes the courses. Your Nurses and Teachers will get an added qualification to put on their resume, and if they submit a diary from their cruises, to help us with our studies, we will stipulate that they have worked for our organization as Therapists.""This Foundation will also be paying for American Soldiers to seek such therapy on your charters, and we will expect a great price. The added advantage for your business, is the legitimacy it will offer, when your enemies notice that you are having wild fuck parties down here, and they accuse you of running a floating brothel." Shylo looked anxiously around the lounge, ready for the questions that were sure to follow."Java and I have talked about how this business could hurt her politically, but she loves what we do, so she is willing to take the risk," Marny replied."If you register your business as a Health Spa," Shylo continued, "...you would be monitored by the Ministry of Health. Here it would be Dr. Shantra Mistopa, and she is a good friend of Java!""We heard that you are looking for real estate," Pam prompted, hopeful for a better explanation."Yes, I want a small island to build a retreat, but that will be a few years in the making," Shylo explained, "Assuming that I can add the Doctor title to my name, I intend on opening a second Corporation, for profit, which would service the wealthy, and the filthy rich! Then I will want to employ lots of Sexual Therapists, and the pay will be just as nice as the paradise that they would work in.""We will have to talk to Java, but it sounds good to me," Pam proposed."I have no doubt that the young ones can do this," Marny said, "but I doubt that I could handle it.""You will have Java to help you, and you didn't mention that she was top of her class in Tourism! Doctor Shantra says that she could do whatever she puts her mind to," Shylo noted."Oh, I spent many summers on the shrimp boats with Shantra, when she was still a student, so she will help me herself!" Marny responded confidently, and it was as if the whole thing was decided."If you agree with my proposal, I think it would be smart for me to invest in your business personally, and sit on your board of directors," Shylo suggested. "I will email the link for you and your staff to look at the course outline, it includes two classes in safe sexual clinical contact, that could keep sexually transmitted infections from hurting you. I can not emphasize enough the importance of those two courses for you personally, and the Business as a whole.""We should all get full medical checkups as a start, including blood work," Pam suggested."That would be good, but keep in mind that the Certification Course requires certain blood tests and a physical exam in order to be accredited, so if you're taking the online classes, you should check there first."Shylo looked about the lounge and realized that everyone was out having fun. "Hey, let's go have a swim!" she cried, and scurried to the top deck.Marny beat the other two, scrambling after the blonde bombshell like she was 30 again.Sharon looked over at Pam. "I think Marny's in love!" she squealed, obviously happy with the idea.Pam decided to take care of lunch, and let Marny entertain their friend from Hoboken.It took two trips to bring the food and preparation equipment to shore, but by then Pam had corralled Gene and Cory to help her. They gathered driftwood for a fire and made two more trips to the sailboats, to get the tarp for shade and a cooler full of iced beverages.The paddle boards and kayaks started to come ashore as their passengers grew hungry and thirsty. Hydration is very important when heat and sex are involved!Sharon ate with Pam, though Paul was glued to her hip."I am going to have to talk to you, after lunch Paul," Pam casually claimed."That is my wife that you are mooning over, you know?"Paul looked confused, so Pam continued, rather than waiting."When I say talk, I mean fuck, Paul. She says you are a lot of fun," Pam finished with a wide smile.

The Girls get help from friends with the new business.By 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. The three cabin Cat was delivered on the first of June, and Cujo set about upgrading most of the systems right away. The water maker and ice maker were two of the more important elements. Their clients wanted to feel fresh, and drink cold liquor. Little things like navionics and weather trackers were also importantThey could not schedule cruises until they had a good timeline on repairs, so Java was keeping tabs on all of the new components, even using her government contacts to make sure everything cleared customs. Of course her position in the Ministry of Tourism made it critical that all import taxes be paid."Cujo says the motors are good and the fuel system is sufficient for now, but he will be installing a second tank, so we can motor as often as we need to, and we don't have the electronics yet for the satellite positioning and weather information." Java finished reading the report to Pam and Sharon."We have not scheduled any charters, but I'll bet that we can inspire a few trusty clients to make a sudden trip, perhaps next week." Java had already been thinking about who to call, that might be available."Let's get out there and take some pictures, then see who wants to come out and play," Java wickedly suggested.The decision was made to buddy boat with the Pearl, and bring Java and Cujo to test the systems for the next three days, then they would give the boat back to our little shipyard, to complete the retrofit."We also have a chance to get a Trimaran," Marny informed the girls. "It was made in the Baltic's, and sailed halfway around the world, before it found a hidden reef near Utila Honduras."I think we can put an air bladder in the damaged side, and tow it to our yard, with the Flipper. They cannibalized one of the motors to repair the other, but it's nothing that I can't fix or replace," Cujo insisted. "I will need Marko and two others. It's over 260 miles, as the crow flies, so it will take us about 4 days to get there, 2 days to secure everything, and probably a week to get it home.""We can help," Sharon insisted. "We are here for four weeks," she reminded them."You two have clients to deal with, and you have all the talent that anyone will ask for, when it comes to meeting their needs," Marny wisely counseled. "We have more cousins than you can count, and they are all seasoned sailors, happy to do a week's work for a hundred dollars!"The logic was inescapable, so the girls lowered their sites, to playing sex games and drinking sun-downers.The damaged but fairly new vessel was purchased for one third of its original price, and they had a budget for repairs that would put them all-in at less than $140,000 American. The entire investment that Pam and Sharon brought with them was needed just for the purchase, so getting back to work was even more important."We can call Carol and get some more money," Sharon suggested."We just need one more investor," Pam cried.They put in the call, only to be shocked at the answer."Why not get Shylo to invest, she is considering some property down there anyway," Carol counseled her two favorite clients."She has that much already?" Pam wondered, "She's a good stripper, but she ain't that much better than us, Is she?""Don't go looking for a money machine," Carol cautioned, "Shylo inherited a lot of money when her parents died, 10 years ago, she has had control over the fortune since she turned 21, and hasn't touched a penny of it since then.""She is not as good as you two for saving, cause it isn't necessary," Carol concluded. "I'll let her know, and I'm sure that she will call you either way, but until then, I can free up some of your money, but you have to pay it back before the tax period ends, or it will cost you dearly ladies, it won't be the worst thing that ever happened, but let's try not to give the Gov any more of your hard earned money than you must.The new addition to the fleet was ready for it's shakedown cruise. A small ceremony was performed to rename the boat, and it was a solemn occasion to the Belize sailing community.The dock was lined with ribbons and flowers were hung on every pilling. The women and men of the village brought out their best fish, lobster and crab dishes, while the ship owner supplied the booze. There were so many able musicians that there was never a need to hire one when free food and booze and the joy of life itself was all the payment they needed.The local brewery donated a keg, but Pam and Sharon bought two, to help cover their costs. They were gracious enough to supply the delivery and the foreman worked as the bartender, as all of their employees came out too. A case of Russian vodka and Mexican Tequila was supplemented by some local backyard still, that had proven itself to not make you blind."How do you get the whole town to come out with only 4 hours notice Marny!?" Pam wondered, loudly."There are about ten things you can say in Belize that will be automatic grounds for a party," she began, "Marriage, Baby, Christening, Birthday, Anniversary, New Home or Business, New Boat,... I think you get the picture. They love to party, and they are good at it!"They named the new boat the Opal, as a nod to the Pearl, which was the boat that started it all.The bottle was smashed, though they did not lose any champagne or spread glass shards everywhere, even in Belize it was done 'virtually' now.Music filled the air, and dancing broke out everywhere you looked. Sharon and Pam got to dance and party with each other, instead of dancing for someone else. Soon they snuck off to their cabin, but the noise was not going to be an issue. They wanted privacy, but the outside noise helped to cover the inside noise that they made!The two sleek Cat's sailed with the morning tide... Well, that was a fantasy! They actually took all day to get their passengers and crews.First off, one drunken cousin was too drunk to drive. His wife had to pick up the passengers, and her English was so spotty that no one knew if they were being delivered for ransom, or sailing, but they didn't have far to go, so all ended well.The big surprise was Shylo, and her companion Ken Miser. Ken was Shylo's favorite used car salesman. She called him that, although he owned 6 dealerships in the State of New Jersey, and Shylo didn't own a car!"Epic!" Ken cried. "This business is worth it's weight in gold!" he proclaimed. "If they start to advertise this at the Gingerbread House or their other clubs, you won't be able to get a spot, I sincerely must insist that you raise your prices, so I can keep this place a personal secret," he moaned."Wouldn't this be a lovely bonus for you to offer to your salesperson of the month, Ken? Maybe you should grab a dozen spots before you leave, I bet they will give you a volume discount," Shylo suggested."Well, you have me for four days ladies, convince me!" Ken was creeping up on 40, and he only had one ex wife to support, but Shylo really liked him. He was good with people, and he was actually well respected for the one thing he insisted that all of his people exhibited, honesty. Yes, as ridiculous as it sounded, Ken refused to push garbage onto people, so he gave his cars a full year of warranty, and no one was ever disappointed. As a result, his business was thriving. He had hundreds of people that would shop no where else, and that list grew every day."All hands to the fore deck for inspection," Java announced in a Captainly tone.Shylo, Ken, Sharon, Pam and Cujo gathered around the trampoline pads in the front of the cat, and waited for further instructions."Strip for inspection and sunscreen application!" Java commanded."She is bossier than my ex," Ken whined, but the bouncy boobs soon calmed his soul."My god man, you had better keep that away from Shylo," Ken gasped as he saw Cujo's swelling cock for the first time."I only share my husband's cock with women that I love Ken, so don't worry," Java explained.The three ladies applied lube with no regard to conservatism. In ten minutes, Ken and Cujo were so oiled up, you could fry them in a pan.Of course, the application process always results in extra touching and kissing, but the oil was edible, so there were no complaints.Ken kept himself in reasonable shape by being on the move 16 to 20 hours a day. Even when he would take his best salespeople to the Gingerbread House, he would be dancing with the ladies the whole time. He didn't waste time on smoking either, claiming it just wastes too much time!The one vice he did have, was sex. He liked to enjoy the ladies, and that could be expensive."Are you ladies sure that you are willing participants?" Ken asked, "You know I refuse to pay for sex, Shylo," Ken insisted."You paid for dinner last night Ken, and didn't you have a splendid evening," she asked, with an exaggerated lick of her lips."And didn't you pay for my flight to Belize? Isn't that 'paying for it', Ken?""Oh, no, the difference is, that you would have paid your own way, but I'm a Gentleman, and so I paid. But the point is, that I didn't 'have' to pay!" Ken proudly maintained his position."You make me so fucking hot when you talk that way," Shylo said, as she dropped to her knees and pulled Ken's 6 inches into her hungry mouth."Fucking strippers!" Java cried, "can you wait 'till we clear the channel Shylo!"Short of using a fire hose on them, there was little anyone could do, but a couple of guys on the Pearl caught sight of them, so the audience grew on the starboard side of the sister vessel.As the last person crossed the center-line of the boat, the change became enough to shift the sail to Jibe. Marny was forced to steer into the Opal, briefly, as she released the mainsail.Java saw the potential disaster, and she was forced to drop sail as she turned to starboard herself.The Opal slowly floated past the Pearl, as Ken moaned in orgasm, the eight members of the Pearl whistled and applauded all along the starboard rail, while Shylo finished the job.Java contained herself. As the Captain, she should have been angry, but she knew that Shylo had probably just guaranteed their suck-sess!Ken Miser was prepared to pay big time, to be assured of 12 weeks over the next year, and that was just what they needed to keep their business moving into this big expansion. In the back of her mind, she was thinking about how many other businesses would give them a 'retainer' to reserve their spots, as rewards for job performance.They arrived at their first anchorage before the sun set. This was the closest spot that they ever used, so there was never any firewood for a good shore party, but a lot of water-play was usually a big part of the first day.After Shylo's performance, the Pearl had a lot of cabin action, as the nurses got to know their customers a little better.When everything was all set, Marny jumped in her dinghy and paddled it over to the Opal."They may be a while, so let's get some food started," Marny ordered. "You know the rules ladies!""The customer cums first," they squealed!Even Ken helped with the prep. With all the ladies in the galley, that is where he wanted to be too. He tried to be useful, by standing behind Shylo as he reached around and swirled her nipples with his moistened index fingers."Shylo, should we excuse you two for a bit?" Marny asked, when some moans started to escape Shylo's lips."If Ken needs to go to his cabin, I will accompany him. What do you say Ken?" Shylo asked, with only a slight quiver to her words.Java was getting pretty worked up herself, just watching those fingers slowly circle those gorgeous nipples!"I'm fine for now, just ignore me," Ken proposed, but his fingers never stopped, as he shifted to explore Pam's mam's. His stiff cock was now tapping against Pam's pussy as he lightly twerked her nibs Pam was still wearing her trunks, but the tapping still had a noticeable effect on her."This is like a dream come true Java, I've been paying a lot of money over the last two years just to look at these beautiful girls, and now I get to touch them!" Ken was in his glory.Sharon was stationed at the BBQ when his roaming hands and free dick started helping her out, from behind."Oh, we are going to fuck you up after dinner, mister," Sharon shouted, as she dripped down her leg."Are those Nurses going to be working on their Patients much longer? I'm famished!" Ken whaled.Marny had to paddle back to the Pearl to get any movement. They would be just as hungry, maybe more-so after their stiff cocks softened, and there was extra blood to rush to their guts, looking for energy.Two stragglers were forced to swim, but it was no more than 50 yards, and they could make use of the paddle boards if they wanted.The slabs of Mahi Mahi had a special marinade that the flesh soaked in for 24 hours before cooking, but they boiled over in the tinfoil on the BBQ and the odor was inescapable, such that the stomachs forced everyone to forget their sex drive for an hour, and get fuel.Dinner flowed right into drinks, and Cujo pulled out his guitar to add entertainment. The Nurses paired up with the clients that they shared a cabin with, and enjoyed whispers, or cuddles, until they would get shuttled back to their cabins to get more physical comfort before a great night of sleep.Ken was trans-like, as he lay next to Shylo, but that was quickly brought to a halt, when Sharon and Pam descended on him."We are going to punish you for teasing us this afternoon, mister," Sharon's face was stern, and her hands on her hips suggested that this was going to be torturous."Give it your best shot Girlfriend," Ken challenged, but he was surprised by the attack.Shylo rolled onto one arm, while Pam grabbed the other and Sharon pushed herself onto his modest pecker."Oh dear, please don't hurt me," Ken mock shouted, as Java, Marny and Cujo gathered around to watch.Sharon did not have to jump for long, but she milked him with her talented pussy, then she removed the condom and went down on him with passion."Oh, Not that!" Ken pleaded, but not too loudly.Sharon worked her magic, and five minutes later she had some wood and she traded places with Pam.Pam used her mouth and hand, to make sure that Ken was ready, then she pushed her own puss onto Ken's happy pecker."Please, I don't think I can take any more," Ken cried, then winked for Cujo.This time he lasted twelve minutes.Shylo was third, and it took Pam fifteen minutes of gentle persuasion before she could hand her a re-stiffened cock.Shylo pushe

Two Strippers help to crew a Belize Sailing CharterBy 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Another winter in Hoboken!Not as comfortable as Belize, but it's where the work takes you.Sharon and Pam had a plan now. One that was a little more complete than, 'make a lot of money, then stop working'.Two weeks in the sun would make anyone want to relocate south, but running a sail charter, like the one they had crewed, had the advantage of putting a roof over their heads, and bringing in an income. The paradise of the Caribbean is just a bonus!Pam was the first to start working at Charlot's Way 6 years ago, first as a waitress, then as a part time stripper, which always leads to a full time peeler.Sharon came along, when Pam was just learning to strip. As a waitress, Sharon was a disaster, dropping trays all over the place. With her good looks it was only a matter of time before she was forced to make the move, or to find other employment.Soon they were a couple, so Sharon following Pam into the shadowy world of stripping, was inevitable. Then, they found that Sharon was a natural exhibitionist. She loved to peel! She loved to make people horny! She loved sex!Pam suggested a move to The Gingerbread House, were the Stage Manager Carol had insisted that there was no hankie pankie with management, and no prostitution or the sale of drugs. Staying at the old joint, meant blowjobs for management and security, and the constant draw and trouble, created by the other vices.Most Exotic Dancers are lured by, and sustained by the big bucks, but these two ladies were rare gems, they love the sexy job, and the lifestyle that goes with it!"We have more than enough for a down payment for our own Cat, and I don't want to wait," Sharon pouted, as she changed into her stripper outfit.Pam took in her partner's beauty, with a sigh. She was only a year younger, and yet she had the patience and impulse control of a child."It would be ridiculous to throw away money on a new boat, only to have Marny and her daughter, tell us that we've wasted our money! We want to invest, and eventually join them, full time," Pam explained. "Lets chat with them, and maybe visit again, before we do anything that can't be undone!"The night was a good one, with plenty of lustful touches from a cougar that one guy brought with him. They came right through to the Emerald Rooms and asked for Pam and Sharon. She was paying, while he just watched, and sipped his coke.Sylvia was around 45, and carried an extra 25 pounds, but she carried it proud, and high! She had a heavy duty lift-up bra, a modern corset and a fun filled heart.She went home, hot and wet, and they both wondered what she did to quench that thirst. For their part, they had each other.Sunday morning they thought it would be good to call early, so Pam found the number that Marny had given her, as soon as she had the coffee machine working."Seafaring Delight Charters, how can I help you," said a sexy young voice, on speaker phone."Hi, this is Pam Davis, my friend and I sailed with Marny last month," she started."Oh, yes, mom told me about that cruise, you guys gave those customers the trip of a lifetime, please tell me you're calling for a repeat trip," she replied with unguarded delight."Well, Sharon and I are interested in investing in your business, and we would love to come down, fairly soon to talk about it, if you and your mother are interested," Pam responded, hoping that Marny might have mentioned our conversation.There was unintelligible murmurs in the background, then Marny came on."Hi girls, Java says you're interested in working with us, or investing?""Yes we need the sun!" Sharon jumped up and put her two bits in." I think what we need is another week, and a serious sit down with the owners of Seafaring Delight Charters," Pam concluded.We were going back in two weeks! They had a trio of Nurses in for the next 14 days, and they were steady customers, with 8 Nurses from the Chicago and Detroit hospitals rotating in, they crewed as much as 1/3 of their charters.All of the Strippers at any of the Steward House Properties were owners of their own business, not employees, so getting time off was more a matter of letting Carol know their availability. As their financial manager she also advised them about money matters."You can self direct up to $50,000 each from your 401ks for foreign investing, but any further, and you would need to take out a loan or pay the income tax on your pension money," Carol advised. "If you work for five more years, you will be able to retire, but only if your expenses are low, as they would be in Belize."The big man that picked them up at the Belize Airport, wore coveralls, and his hands were rough and stained with grease."Sorry ladies, but my work on engines has made it so that they never come totally clean, until the work is done, which it seldom is," he said, then introduced himself."I'm Java's husband Rob, but you can call me Cujo, everyone does," he announced with a broad smile, as he grabbed the two duffels that sat at their feet. "If you don't mind having a drink with me, I will be able to grab our patrons too, when their flight gets here from Vancouver.The flight had been a bit rough, so getting a drink was a fabulous idea, but Cujo knew a better place than the airport lounge. In minutes they found themselves at an ocean side bar, where the breeze from the water, and the cool drinks, made it feel like paradise. Everything went on Cujo's tab, and they were able to quiz him on the size and scope of the business."My boat is the fastest one around," Rob explained proudly. "If the Cat needs supplies, or someone needs to get to or from the anchorage fast, our 'Flipper' can travel a day's sail, in about 2 hours."We have our own dock, which you have seen, and it's in great shape, but the office is just a shack, and serves more as a storage place than anything else," he continued."The Cat, which you know as Marny's 'Pearl', is fully paid for, and I keep everything working," he proudly explained. It was obviously something that he took great pride in."Our dock is to the North of Belize City, in an area dominated by fishing boats," Cujo reported. "We normally hire my cousin to transport our guests, since the shuttle to the Ferries go the other direction, but today he is having his daughter's birthday, so you got me," he cheerfully finished.We only got through one Tequila Sunrise each, before we had to leave for our next customers, three Canadians from the West Coast.One was actually called 'Jaque', and it was pronounced jock. He was 5ft4 and all of 110 pounds! His two friends were average guys in their late 30's, a little on the 'out of shape' side, but not bad.Pam thought they looked passive enough, that we would be able to chat with Marny on this trip, instead of non-stop sex!Sharon was intrigued with Jaque. "I'm going to have to check your I.D.," she teased him right from the start, while his companions roared with laughter.Jaque just smiled, showing his good nature. "I'll show you plenty, young lady, but it won't be my I.D.," he responded, then thrust his hips out suddenly. "Blam," he shouted, as his friends continued laughing.Sharon laughed even harder, as we piled into the back of Cujo's pickup, where there were fold out benches. Raised rails on the side, made it safe, and airy for the short ride, but it was too windy to talk.On the dock, Cujo would have carried all of the luggage if the guys had let him, but he did insist on carrying the ladies gear."I will have to leave you to stow your own gear ladies and gentlemen," our driver friend proclaimed. "Marny will be here soon, and you're already loaded with provisions. Just make them a drink, and get to know them," he said, to no one in particular."All of the cabins are the same, guys, so pick one, and meet us in the lounge," Pam suggested.They did not take long. With only two women available, they fought their way to be first, up and down the gangways to the cabins, while Sharon found the mixer, and made a giant pitcher of vodka and a mix of orange, pineapple juice, and some fresh mango and ice, all ground together to make a slushy drink that the ladies loved. Jaque was happy to try it, but the other two chose the local pale ale."So, you guys have been here before, right," Pam asked, while wondering what they would expect from the crew."Oh yes, darling," Charlie began. "Our crew last time was Suzie and Cherie, two nurses from Minneapolis. They were veteran sailors, and they really showed us the ropes," he chuckled as the others nodded their heads, indicating that there was plenty of action on that cruise."Nurses, wow, you guys got lucky there, and your sailing skills are probably better than ours," Sharon replied, "We let Marny do most of the sailing while we entertained the guests."Jaque was smarter than he looked, as he reached over and took Sharon's hand."Can I show you something in my cabin," he said, without a twinge to suggest that he wanted anything sexual."Sure," Sharon spouted, as she jumped from the chair.The two scurried down to the forward port side cabin, and the sound of the closing door was followed by Sharon's squeal, as Jaque kicked his sandals off, and he pulled his shirt over his head."Let's see it," Sharon shouted, then the rest was muffled, though there were thuds and bumps.Two minutes later Sharon called out, "Pam, you have got to see this."Chuck and Brian just smiled, as if they expected this to happen, so Pam went to have a look.When Pam got to Jaque's cabin and opened the door, she found the two on the double bed, with Jaque's cock laid out, as if it was a cut of meat.It was not fully erect, but it was a foot long!"Wow, what are we going to do with that!" Pam exclaimed while her two friends behind her just laughed.Sharon got to work on it right away, taking the head in her mouth she gave it a little suck, then ran her tongue all over it."I think you've got this sister, I'll take care of the other two, but don't take all day," and with that she closed the door behind her."Do you guys want to fuck me together, or one at a time," she joyously announced to their delight. Neither one was willing to wait, and Pam had handled two at once, more times than she could remember.The three crossed over to the starboard side, Pam took the initiative by pulling her shirt over her head, revealing her perky C cups just to get the party started.The guys were nearly as fast, but Pam was still first on the bed, leaving her pussy exposed and ready for company!Soon Brian was smooching and playing with Pam's tits, while Charlie was showing some good moves with his tongue work on the clit, while his hand searched for her evasive G spot."Men always want to hit that G spot, like it's a kettle drum," Pam whispered in instruction, "I like a light touch, or a tongue!" she squealed as Chuck's tongue slipped into position. "Oh! This could be fun!" she exclaimed.It was over an hour, before the beds started to empty, and it was only the sound of Marny's voice that got Sharon in motion. She had been sipping a diet cola, impatient to get underway, but understanding that the customer should always cum first!Captain Marny had us in the channel 15 minutes later, as her experienced crew knew where everything was stowed. We motored our way past the stone break wall before we set sail for open water.Pam and Sharon each wore a thong, While Marny wore bikini pants with a white long sleeve top with anti UV properties to protect against the sun.Marny was a good looking 40ish native woman, with a thin athletic body from decades of hard work. Yet she wore a modern, stylish outfit, through which you could clearly see her nipples. Her upturned A cups really looked good, especially when she got excited!The Captain ordered a dose of sun screen for all hands, so we got together on the forward deck and enjoyed the application process, much more than the directions suggested.This was not Marny's first time, seeing Jaque with his giant dong, but she gave the girls a big smile when it first came out."You don't see many like that, do you girls," She shouted, as we all nodded.Brian and Chuck watched, while the two ladies gave their friend a tongue bath. Jaque kept it shaven, and claimed that he was the only Canadian man that shaved his pubes!Everyone laughed at the sight of Jaque, wearing his Speedo, with his cock pointing straight out. The cream was applied there too, but Marny suggested that it would be wise to keep it out of the sun.They were heading for a further anchorage on day one, but the sea was nearly flat, so Marny sent everyone below when it was time to get the dinner started.Sharon asked Brian to help her cut up the veggies, so his job was to hold her steady against the rise and fall of the vessel, while Sharon diced up the vegetables.In spite of wandering hands, she had the salad ready in 10 minutes.Pam and Jaque got the marinated fish, already in tinfoil, with garlic mint and butter and took what they needed to the BBQ on the starboard transom.Marny had us anchored by the time the feast came up on deck, to be eaten buffet style.The evening was spent, with drinking and conversation, as we got to know each other. The ladies explained what life was like as Strippers, at a club not too far from the Statue of Liberty, but they did not reveal their interest in buying into Marny's Charter business.The men insisted that the ladies should show their talents, and a beginner's class in stripping was soon underway.Music was important, so Marny found a station out of Mexico, and the two Professional Dancers gave a lusty dance, complete with the wagging of their pussies in the men's faces. Eventually Brian grabbed a mouth full of Sharon's tit, while she had his dick in her hand. Charlie was all over Pam, while she worried where that giant cock was going.Marny jumped down from her seat at the helm and went straight to our little man with the big prick.Even Marny was an inch taller than Jaque, but it was his famous cock that she was after.She lay him out, and pulled his swim suit to one side, wrapping her hand around it, she brought his full Monty to her mouth, and pushed the mushroom head into her wide open pie hole!When she pushed down, it only traveled 4 inches, where it stopped at her throat, but would go no further. After a few moments of frustration, she started to move her hands to make the filatio as enjoyable for Jaque as she could make it

Summer Sailing in Belize, with a crew of ladies.By 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Dateline: Hoboken, New JerseySaturday nights were my favorite.I suppose that is true for most people around the world, and I had much in common with many of those lives... but for a stripper, Saturday is often the end of the stripper week.Peeling always made me horny, and finishing the night in the privacy of the Emerald Lounge, entertaining a married couple in their 40's, out on 'date night', had me lusting for a lamp post!The guy hadn't even touched me, but I always let the ladies have more freedom.The drinks were running up a big tab, but this guy wasn't going to be able to keep his pants on, so he ended the session early. I was so wet, I could just strangle her and take her place, but I have more discipline than that.I finished my night dancing in the main room. Sharon and Pam were entertaining some guy they had danced for before, and I was going back to their place when the night ended.I was anxious for another trip to the sun, when Pam told me about Seafaring Delight Charters.They are a Sail Touring company working out of Belize.For the right woman, they offer a free sailing vacation in the Caribbean and in return, they must crew the ship.For the right man, they offer a sailing delight, with lusty women running the ship!The implication was obvious, but not stated. The ladies had to submit a 30 second video, while the men had no such requirement. Hmm. Then the price tag! Starting at $4,000 per week!Pam vouched for the company. Her sister learned how to sail with this company, and goes back every year. She always has fun, and has never been forced to do anything she doesn't want to do.We got together after work Saturday night, and had a blast in their apartment above The Pizza House.Greta came upstairs, with her full crew, but most of them kept to the porch, where smoking was expected.After a few puffs, I decided to check with the girls, to see when we were going to make our video.Greta and her latest guy were chatting with them, in the living room."Barry, are you giving Greta what she needs, down there?" Sharon asked, indicating with her extended hand, towards Greta's crotch."Whatever she desires Miss., she is too beautiful to resist," he replied, with his face turning red. Barry was the same age as Greta, around 50, and he wasn't comfortable talking about such matters."Shush child!" Greta laughingly chastised her stripper friend, but rose to excuse herself."Barry has something to do too, ladies," she took her man's hand and pulled him to his feet, then they headed home.Pam opened up her laptop, and set the program running."Hi, we three girls would like to learn how to sail, and we understand customer service," she finished with a smile.Sharon continued with her, rehearsed line, "We know the rules, and are willing to 'play' within them." Another flirtatious smile..."...and though we hope for sunny sky's, we know how to enjoy a rainy day." I finished, with a wink.A bit bold, but we were hoping for an early spot.We were happy with the first take, and we managed to fill out the documentation side, before the session tumbled into their king size bed.Two weeks later, to the day, we celebrated our Saturday night, in the traditional way, but this time we would be flying out of O'Shea in the morning, bound for Belize City, via Dallas.Simone honked about 10 in the morning, and we were ready, but not downstairs yet. She was pissed, to not be coming with us, but we hadn't offered. Besides, she only liked women, so her narrower sexual preference might hamper our chance to grab a spot this late in the season.The flight was uneventful, but the private car to the waterfront headquarters of Seafaring Delight Charters drove so slow, and the air conditioning was so weak, we opened up the windows.We saw the boat, first. It was probably twice the size and three times the height of their little shop.I tipped the guy like a tourist, I was so excited to be out of the chilly drizzly North, and into the land of bikinis and umbrella drinks.Our Captain met us on the dock after we filled out some waivers. At first sight, she was a forty something native woman, with a trim body, and a weathered face. The commanding type, that needed a month or two to get to know.She took us onboard, and went over the rules first.We were to each bunk with a guest, but what happened in that bunk was totally up to us. We were not supposed to spend all of our time with just one of the guests, since there was four of them, and only 3 of us.Our first priority was the safety of the boat, so Marny showed us the ropes, literally. All three of us had a bit of experience sailing, so we knew the terminology, but the sail profile of a big catamaran is quite different from the vessels that we had learned on."We are not in a hurry ladies, if we don't get there today, we will get there on another day, or the one after that," she said with a chuckle. She could smile!We went below to get our bikinis on, and got back just as our guests came down the dock, looking even more out of place than we did. These four men were in their 30's, with one at maybe 40. One had shoulders like a bodybuilder, and one was 40 pounds overweight while the other two looked average.All 4 wore Hawaiian shirts and matching shorts, and they all had a duffel bag over their shoulder, and a small carry-on.Instead of introductions, the Captain demanded an instant departure. She called over Phil, by name."Phil, you assist me at the helm. You other three pair up with the crew, and get those lines in," the Captain gave clear, unaccented commands.Within minutes, she had the engines running, and with expert handling, she pulled us from the dock, and motored us away from shore, destination...fun."Shylo, please take Mark and his gear to where the two of you will be sleeping tonight," Marny shouted."Pam, you have Paul, and Sharon, you get David," let's get that gear stowed ladies, and take a minute to get to know each other."Mine was the starboard fore cabin, though they were all the same."Shylo, is an unusual name, where are you from beautiful," Mark asked, while he plopped his bag at the foot of the double bed. I couldn't imagine sleeping with someone in that bed without being intimate, but I didn't expect that to be a problem for any of us."I was born and raised in Michigan, but the three of us met where we work in New Jersey," I responded. "Pam has a cousin that recommended this place, and we thought we deserved a few weeks in the sun, so here we are.""Are you horny Mark, cause I sure am," I casually asked, and watched his face, as it went from wonder to joy in 5 seconds, so even without a response, I dropped to my knees.The ceiling is too low over the bunks to do any upright fun on the bed, but there was enough room if you're willing to adapt. I smoothly pulled Mark's light flowery shorts to the floor, revealing a fully erect 6 inches.I didn't feel the need to use a condom for a suck, so I pressed down on it, sucking lightly, while running my tongue side to side as it pressed down my throat for the last inch.To my surprise, it was not fully erect, it grew another inch or so longer, and at least a half inch around, while Mark's hands lightly held my face."This is going to be the trip of a lifetime!" Mark announced with glee.He did not take long, maybe two minutes? I did not expect him to hold back, and he certainly did not, as he spasmed a thick and powerful load, mostly in my mouth, but I didn't mind when some smeared on my cheek.I wiped it clean, then told Mark that I had to help the Captain, and left him to put his things, and his thingy away.First, I had to get rid of the top, and get some lotion on my milky white tits."Captain, can I take a minute to get some lotion on," I asked, as I popped up at the helm."I'm sure that Phil will give you a hand Shylo, maybe two," Marny laughed, and nodded to her helper, "You can show Phil to his bed first.""Perfect," I said, and I picked up one of his carry-on's to lead the way."We could hear you and Mark," Phil began, as he pressed one bag into a cupboard without emptying it. "...are you ladies as fun as you look."I dropped his other bag and pressed into his personal space."Well, I can't' see the future Phil, but I think that you and your friends will be inspired to leave a big tip, and... speaking of big tips..."Phil was the older one, with an average build, but his penis was a little bigger than average."I'm really horny now Phil, would you mind fucking me?" I asked, but I didn't wait for an answer, as I scampered onto the bed.Phil paused, to take off his shirt, so I slipped out of my little thong too."How did we get this lucky!" he gleefully announced, as he slid onto the bed, next to me.I tried to keep quiet, as I enjoyed my first orgasm, but I shouldn't have bothered, as Phil made such a raucous that everyone aboard knew what was going on!When we came out to the galley, Pam and Mark were prepping for lunch."Any drinks needed up there," I shouted."We have a beer locker up here, so no," Marny responded.I saw that Pam had taken on my idea of a uniform, topless!Phil put some lotion on me, including a careful massage into my breasts, then I did the same for him, with less of a concentration on his nipples, but I did play with his bulging penis, enough to make him a little self conscious in his tight swimsuit.Sharon came up with David, but he should have been called Goliath! With the shirt off, he was pretty amazing, tanned and toned. His washboard stomach was especially firm.He wore billowing shorts, which suggested to me that he was not as well hung, but I wasn't going to let that stop me, when I got the chance to be with this one!Paul emerged from the entry, having turned to get his bulk through the passage. He was still wearing his Hawaiian shirt."Let's get some lotion on you Paul," I suggested, picking up my high powered tube of cream."Thanks Shylo, I wish I had a chance to put some on you," he said, while his trunks started to tent out a little."Don't worry Paul, this stuff is safe to ingest, so you can suck on my titties, that you admire so much, then you can put some fresh cream on them," I teased.I really needed to do him first, before he lobster-ed in front of our very eyes!I covered his face, and neck, then removed his shirt to put a lot on his very white chest and back. Continuing down I covered his legs too, and I became very aware of his monster, as it peeked out of the side of his shorts.I turned to see if the Captain was watching, and she was. I watched her for a few seconds, and she gave me a nod, so I continued. The shorts came down fast, and I was very pleased to find that he was not a monster in diameter, but he had to be ten inches long! Again I turned to the Captain, and she was staring too.I had to use both hands to help my mouth with this one, but he didn't take any longer than his friend, as he delivered a modest squirt inside of five minutes.I stood back up, and smiled at my new friend, letting his cum trail down my chin, and over my perky tits."We are on water rations for bathing," the Captain shouted. If you get too stinky, you will need to use salt water to rinse, or wait till you can swim."There is a hose at both aft transoms, for rinsing," Marny continued, and motioned with her head in case I didn't know where the aft of the boat was.I gave myself a rinse, but I knew that salt water was not a great rinse for the vagina, and when it dried you felt like you had rolled in the sand.This was the rainy season, so I only had to wait, and a beautiful sunset also brought a squall that rinsed us all off, as we danced around the bow, and bounced on the trampolines.After we set anchor, Marny went below, and pulled out a big bag of marinated grouper, fresh from last night's catch. She asked Pam to put together a salad, and she headed back upstairs to the grill on the port transom.After a great meal, we played the music loud, and drank umbrella drinks till everyone headed for a bed. I saw Marny disappear down the fore hatch that only goes to an equipment locker and a short, narrow bunk.I put Mark to bed, with a smile on his face, and I had about two hours sleep, when the rolling of the boat woke me up.I thought that I had better check in on Paul, to see if he was lonely, and feeling neglected, but I didn't want to knock, so I turned off the hall light and quietly opened the cabin door.

Laleh Khalili's new book The Corporeal Life of Seafaring (Mack) draws on her own experiences to describe with care and imagination the material and physical realities of contemporary commerce at sea, detailing (in the words of Steve Edwards) ‘the labouring bodies – hands, legs, and eyes; flesh and soul; suffering and solidarity – that make the world go round. In the process, the connections and divisions of the world economy come into view.' Khalili was in conversation with LRB contributing editor James Butler, the co-founder of Novara Media.

The body of the seafarer is a fulcrum upon which global systems of power, longstanding maritime traditions, and gendered and racialised pressures all rest. In this vital new essay, scholar Laleh Khalili draws on her ongoing research and experiences of travelling on cargo ships to explore the embodied life of these labourers. She investigates an experience riddled with adversities – loneliness, loss, and violence, stolen wages and exploitative shipowners – as well as ephemeral moments of joy and solidarity. In the unique arena of the ship, Khalili traces the many forms of corporeality involved in work at sea and the ways the body is engaged by the institutions that engulf seafarers' lives and work. Illustrated throughout with the author's own photographs, this book takes in both scholarly and literary accounts to describe with care and imagination the material and physical realities of contemporary commerce at sea. Drawing on the insights of feminists and scholars of racial capitalism, it centres the lives of those so often forgotten or dismissed in enterprises of capital accumulation and the raced and gendered hierarchies that shape them. Laleh Khalili is an Al-Qasimi Professor of Gulf Studies at the University of Exeter. Among her published books: "Heroes and Martyrs of Palestine: the Politics of National Commemoration" (Cambridge 2007) and "Time in the Shadows: Confinement in Counterinsurgency" (Stanford 2013), both of which delve into the representations and practices of violence. She also co-edited a volume with Jillian Schwedler titled "Policing and Prisons in the Middle East: Formations of Coercion" (Hurst 2010). Her most recent book, "Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula" (Verso 2020), explores the pivotal role of maritime infrastructures in facilitating the movement of technologies, capital, people, and cargo. Tamara Fernando is an assistant professor in the History of the Global South, at Stony Brook University, New York. Her research and teaching interests are located at the intersection of labor, environment, and science histories, with a specific focus on the nineteenth and twentieth-century Indian Ocean world. Her current book project, "Shallow Blue Empire: Knowing the Littoral across the Indian Ocean," aspires to uncover a "history below the water line" through a trans-national account of the pearling industry across the northern Indian Ocean. This work centers on the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Mannar, and the Mergui/Myeik archipelago, elucidating how modes of knowledge about the littoral zone of the ocean were determined in the context of the British Empire at the turn of the twentieth century. She is deeply committed to employing trans-regional and interdisciplinary methods in the study of the past, as well as addressing the question of how to craft global histories of science.

“The ordinary traveler, who never goes off the beaten route and who on this beaten route is carried by others, without himself doing anything or risking anything, does not need to show much more initiative and intelligence than an express package." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're discussing The River of Doubt by Candace Millard, a story that follows the expedition of Theodore Roosevelt as he explores the Amazon river in Brazil. Though faced with many hardships along the way, Roosevelt finds purpose in this monumental journey after losing the 1912 election. We cover a wide range of topics including: The explorer spirit and the drive to explore the unknown Theories of how long humans have been in the Americas How the crew was able to form relationships with uncontacted tribes The progression of travel methods in comparison to the early 1900s What were in the cards for Roosevelt and Rondon after they returned And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

After losing the 1912 election, Roosevelt traveled to Brazil to explore the Amazon river, which was largely unknown at that time.  (4:17) The explorer spirit and the urge to explore something that people haven't seen before. While there's not much else for us to discover for the first time on earth, there are still many unique things to go see that only few have. (8:52) Roosevelt and the crew seemed to underestimate what they were getting into, and though underprepared, it ended up being an overall success.  (14:21) We talk a bit more about Rondon and his backstory, as well as what life looked like for him after the expedition. He had contact with tribes that were otherwise cut off from the rest of the world.  (18:26) The relationships with the tribes they came across and how the tribe leaders had to mutually agree before a course of action was taken on Roosevelt's crew. At the time, it was not known that the tribe they had contacted were cannabalists.  (22:37) There's a theory that the Amazon is man-made or at least man-influenced. While there's evidence of humans in the Amazon from at least 13,000 years ago, how long have humans really been in the Americas?  (27:50) Seafaring canoes and the possibility of natives reaching new land via canoe tens of thousands of years ago. It's also a mystery how many journeys have failed throughout time, as there is likely no record of their expedition at all. (31:29) The drive to explore is in our DNA. Do we feel that need for evolutionary purposes?  (37:40) We talk about the description of the surgery on Roosevelt's leg during the journey and the backstory behind it. (42:07) Sickness and the prevalence of malaria during the trip. We give some stats on the fatalities of malaria, and the lethality is less than we expected.  (44:19) Roosevelt brought his son, Kermit. Though Kermit didn't want to go, he went so he can watch out for his dad. Back in this time, going on a trip for months or even years meant you wouldn't have any contact with people back home for that whole span. (48:55) Stories of Roosevelt when he was visited by ambassadors in the White House, and other humorous presidential stories.  (52:32) There have been several amazing stories and documentaries describing the journies of different adventurists and mountain climbers. It goes to show just how important pacing yourself is and knowing how to pack the appropriate supplies.  (1:00:51) Why the crew hardly saw any wild life during their time in the Amazon. Though you're surrounded by them, they're extremely hidden. (1:05:58) Rondon's leadership along the way and how he managed to keep order, despite one of the crew members causing trouble.  (1:14:19) When we think about Roosevelt's journey and compare it to today, we see how far we've come. We can now reach the other side of the world at much quicker speeds and have the potential of seeing more growth in this area during our lifetime, too.  (1:19:53) Stay tuned for our next episode...

Seafaring stories have long captured the imagination, and the Bible is no different. People might appear like gods walking on the firmness of Earth, but put them in even the largest ship on the vastness of the ocean and suddenly they seem small. Even the hubris that surrounded the Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship, was found wanting against the uncontrollable forces of wind and wave.             So, of course, we find Paul caught up in a seafaring tale that includes a harrowing dance with death and a dramatic shipwreck. From a literary perspective, Acts 27 is gripping—you can feel the hurricane-like wind that rips them from the safety of the lee side of the island and sets them adrift in the wine-darkened sea, heading helplessly into only God knows where. You can see panicked sailors scrambling up the mast to reef the mainsail, lash cables around the beam, and drop sea anchors into the water to keep the ship from running too fast with the waves. You can feel a ship that is doomed. It feels like something I have read in Patrick O'Brian's classic sea novels about Captain Jack Aubrey. (He was made famous in the movie Master and Commander starring Russell Crowe.) Sailing didn't change much from the time of Paul's adventure through the seventeen hundreds.             What is the point of all of this great writing? The gospel, finding itself in the most unlikely community—Paul, as a living and breathing representative of his savior, in the midst of the saltiest community yet—sailors. It is as astounding as it is unlikely but, then again, God seems to delight in this sort of thing. Join me Sunday as we sail with Paul on a doomed ship and see the mystery of God's providence and kindness in the strangest of places.            Also, Sunday is a big day! We have lots of people joining, baptisms inside and outside—lashing people to the mast of this local expression of God's kingdom, made real in Collierville. Blessings,  Jim

There is evidence that Dan and other tribes learned seafaring and other skills from the Phoenicians.  The Phoenicians were descendants of Ham who lived on the coast of the Holy Land and who sailed to many lands, engaging in mining and trade.  God strategically placed them where they could pass their skills on to the tribe of Dan.

For years now, US Presidents have proclaimed June to be National Ocean Month. This sparked host, Tamara Kahn, to wonder if people really understand the role of government in supporting the Blue economy and the oceans at the heart of it. On this episode of Wave Makers, Tamara is honored to speak with Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, US Navy (ret). Tim has a great depth of knowledge having served as Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Deputy NOAA Administrator, Oceanographer of the Navy and now a consultant with many incredible Blue Technology companies. He is an ocean advocate, policy expert and even holds a PhD from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Doesn't that seem a perfect person to talk to about how public agencies and private ocean tech enterprises work together for the betterment of our country and its citizens while working to protect and preserve the ocean resources we depend on? Listen to hear Tim and Tamara discuss the importance of public-private cooperation and learn about some of NOAA's focus areas that Tim helped define. Of course, they get into a few of the fascinating blue tech companies that Tim works with and why they matter to our everyday lives. Perhaps most importantly, the discussion touches upon cooperation, diversity and passion in the industry and how Tim is also utilizing podcasting to promote The American Blue Economy and those working to advance it. Check out this, as well as Tim Galluadet's next episode on the American Shoreline Podcast Network.
