Island diary 3: Caught at a Naked Challenge
What seemed to be a leisurely holiday on a tiny island turned into a completely unexpected adventure full of hot sex. I went there as a decent married man and came back as a gay slut.
You can read the 5 parts of this diary separately, but in the correct order you can read along with the events as they actually happened. Thanks again to LarryInSeattle for editing.
13 April
Again a lousy morning. It was already 11 am when we finally decided to get out of bed and walk to the beach. While we were enjoying our late breakfast/early lunch the 3 guys walked in with all their luggage.
"Leaving today?" I asked. They confirmed and said they already had booked on another island, otherwise they would certainly have stayed longer. I said I could imagine, because this island looks a bit boring, but when you explore it, you'll find unexpected beauty. They had a good laugh.
14-17 April
Not much to report. Too hot do go cycling, so we spent most of the day on the beach, where the breeze made it feel a bit cooler. Most tourists had left by now. After the unexpected adventures in the first days, I long for more, but doubt whether that will happen. But I enjoy my days here anyway.
18 April
Funny thing happened today. Our friend (I mentioned her on 3 April) had been a teacher, and one of her former students is sailing the world with her husband and child on a catamaran and now close to the island. They were on their way to "our" beach now and estimated to arrive shortly before sunset, so they could spend some time with their favourite teacher.
Indeed, they arrived around 18:00. They threw out the anchor in the deeper waters and came ashore with a small dinghy. I helped pull the boat on the beach. Our friend invited us to join them for dinner, and while as usual I was only dressed in my lungi, but that was not really a problem, because we would have our meal on the beach.
A few hours later the sailors wanted to return to their catamaran. The tide was lower and the sea had become wilder, with a few rows of breaking waves close to the beach now. So I helped again, now pulling the dinghy back to the water. The husband said they would manage now, but a split second later a breaker filled half the boat with water. The woman had their child in her arms and it was obvious that the man could not keep the boat under control and scoop the water out at the same time. So I walked into the sea and held the boat in place.
When most of the water was out, the woman waded with the child toward it and climbed in. There were still many breakers, but I now knew how the keep the boat stable. Together with the husband, we pushed it beyond the breakers, where I could just barely stand. The man climbed in the boat and immediately panicked. The key was no longer in the outboard motor. He jumped out of the boat and returned to the place on the beach where the dinghy had been while we had dinner. I was up to my neck in water and had great difficulty controlling the boat on my own. I felt the current pulling at my lungi and of course it couldn't be delayed any longer: the thing came loose. I couldn't possibly let go of one hand, because then I wouldn't have been able to prevent the boat from floating away. Slowly the current pulled my lungi further away from me, and eventually it disappeared into the waves.
The husband returned happy: he was extremely lucky to have found the key in the dark on the beach. He climbed aboard, started the engine, and motored back to their catamaran. I walked back to the beach and shouted at M that I had lost my lungi, but she didn't hear me because of the noise of the waves. When I got out of the water, M and our friend busted out laughing. "Didn't I tell you that would happen?" M laughed.
We had to walk back to our resort, and it was really no option but to do that nude. I wouldn't mind, but it certainly would have gotten me in trouble. Fortunately, our friend had a cloth that I could use as a lungi.
19 April
Guess what I found on the beach this morning? My lungi had washed ashore. It's M's favourite one, so we are two happy people now, though we both preferred me walking without it.
After breakfast on the beach, M went for a massage. I stayed in the little restaurant with a coffee. An English guest of the resort came in and said: "Hey, I see you got back your lungi." I asked him how he knew I'd lost it. He replied he had seen us struggling with the dinghy yesterday and was on his way to help when he saw that the sailor managed to start the engine. "Oops," I laughed, "then you saw me come out of the water." He smiled and said it was a pity that it had been almost New Moon and was very dark, but that he had enjoyed the view anyway.
20-21 April
I love the days when nothing happens, but after the unexpected adventures and meeting I had, these days are also a bit boring and I'm aware I'm almost constantly scanning for opportunities.
22 April
The last week on the island. Today we moved to the small, basic beach resort. Our wooden hut is right at the beach front. Only sand between us and the sea.
