This is based on something I really did, only I was the guy and there was no Anjin. Bummer.

So the best time I ever had was on a sailboat. We were among some islands somewhere out in the Pacific. I could never tell you exactly where, (there's a million of 'em) and it wasn't my boat. We flew to Fiji, to meet our friends, and then we just sailed away. This was in college, and we had the summer off, so we got to spend a whole month on the boat. This guy Bernardo's dad owned it but he wasn't there much since he had to run his business. Bernardo was a good sailor, and I'm ok, and he had two other friends with him, Jeff and Guillermo, so we had our shit together, pretty much. There was Guillermo's girlfriend, by best pal Heidi, and my boyfriend Jago was coming too: it's he and Guillermo who knew Bernardo, so that's our connection to the boat. Guillermo, a German, is really named William but we just call him Gui 'cause he's got dark skin and there was some famous & similar looking Spanish soccer player named Guillermo that Heidi was always teasing him about.
Anyway, just a day after landing we had shopped for a month's provisions and we were off, leaving the "comforts" of port for the wild blue ocean. Comforts was exaggerating it a little, but at least there were showers and a bar with cold beer at the marina. Once underway, with a cooler jammed full with nothing but ice and frozen food we planned to eat our way through, we had to get used to warm beer and bananas. As for showers, forget it. Water was on a strict budget. Generally we'd have bananas for lunch, (we'd bought a whole stalk of bananas) and sleep through breakfast or just have coffee. We would cook one big group meal a day, though and that was always great: starving by then, we'd portion it all out, and eat every bite. It was like being a monk or something: enjoying our daily gruel. Whatever nasty brow concoction the boys boiled up always seemed savory and delectable. I'd lick the bowl. We ate with chopsticks a lot because they cleaned easy.
The boat was full of toys: windsurfers, snorkels, a kite board (high velocity drowning device, I called it) a little inflatable raft, a million cheap paperback books, a Parcheesi game with about half the pieces, stuff like that. The boys were in heaven and I thought it was pretty great too. We'd sail for a day and then park the boat in some empty bay and fool around for a few days, planning the next little trip. The most fun for me was a little seat (bosun's chair) you could hook onto the spinnaker and use to launch yourself up in the air while at anchor. The whole trip was really basic and simple, simple food, simple fun: eat, sleep, sex, play, sail, cook, eat, repeat.
As to the sex part, only Guillermo and my Jago were getting any, and that had to be frustrating for the rest of them. We didn't wear much, Heidi and I, less at night, and however big a boat, (this one was 46 feet) it remains a pretty intimate setting. We were sleeping up towards the front Jeff and Bernardo had cabins in the back, Heidi and Guillermo shared a nice one in the very front, and we were just aft of them. Our cabin took up half the boat's width while the galley (on the otherside of a wall down the middle) filled the other half. We had two sort of twin sized beds staggered diagonally up the side of the curved hull, a little closet, and a passagway down the center of the boat next to the wall. To get out of their bedroom, Heidi and Gui would have to walk through ours. There was no hallway or anything: it was tiny, like a submarine or something! Anyway, you get the picture: not much privacy!
After a while though, you get used to the idea that everyone can hear your orgasm, and then you just pretty much go with it: "What the heck," I tell myself! After one particularly good one, I got some cheers back, all the way from the stern of the boat. After that I'm pretty sure Jago and Guillermo were trying for the best sound effects, which was great as far as I'm concerned: I like to give the feedback.
Soon I was just hanging out naked half the time. Or more like half, naked all the time. Heidi started it: one day I got up early and Heidi was on deck, in the cockpit having coffee in just her panties, finishing off last night's hangover. It was still a little dark. I said something like "better dress, the boys'll be up soon."
But she didn't care, said something like, "That's right... Hey we're all best friends by now and anyway it's just skin: you think anyone's gonna complain?" ...pretty good points, so I joined her. There weren't a lot of bikini tops in use on the boat after that, unless we were going into some kind of harbor with more than a couple of other boats in it.
But the reason I wrote this story was to tell you about the "trolling for sharks" which was a TOTAL blast. Bernardo had this passage between two close islands he wanted to go to where it was shallow and twisty and you had to motor. He said the great thing to do was "troll for sharks" which really didn't sound good at all until he explained that what he meant was to throw a couple of lines overboard and you hang on to them while the boat slowly motors through the passage and it's like powered snorkeling or something. That did sound good.
Well, let me tell you, "slowly motoring" in a boat feels like taking a water skiing start when you're being dragged behind it. It was wild. By arching your back, and pressing the rope down or up above or below your head, you could angle yourself off out of the wake, or up to the surface or deep deep down below it. It was great fun, but a lot of drag and I got tired quick. They had to stop for me and tie a loop in the rope to hang onto and then I was alright.
Man you couldn't get me out of there. We had three ropes out and people took turns but I took the most. Finally there was just me and then Jago jumped in again and angled over to me. Laughing at each other on the surface, he said something like "you ever coming back onboard?" or whatever.
"Nope!" I said. And I dove under and gave him a wiggle or two to look at. I had learned you could flex your torso like you do in a butterfly kick, but the pull of the rope just amplified it so you'd rocket back and forth through the water. Of course the boat was doing all the work but it felt like you were some super-efficient swimmer like a dolphin or something. I was pretty sure I looked hot, doing that dolphin kick underwater in my little bikini. When you went down, all the bubbles would clear away after a second and I knew (looking at Jago) that the sunlight rippled on you like in a pool, and all stretched out like that hanging from his rope he looked pretty tasty: green and cool and slippery. Mmmmm.
