The sun was out and the skies were as clear as a bell. There were no signs of yesterdays squall. Singhi and I checked the boat completely and everything was shipshape. It was 8:00am and the passengers were not on deck yet. I asked Singhi to check on them and see if they need anything. It had been a hard day for us all. I saw Joe come out of the cabin and walk toward the bridge. I asked if he wanted a cup of coffee and he accepted my offer. I poured him a cup and he sat down and we started to talk about things in general. By the time he left I knew his whole life story and it was 9:30, we talked and hour and a half.
His father was a Real Estate tycoon and made millions in the market from the 40’s through the 80’s. Joe went to Stanford and gradated with a degree in chemical engineering. He got his masters in marketing from Harvard and went to work for Pfizer Pharmaceutical. He was a research chemist for them for 5 years. His father wanted him to work in real estate, but they did not really get along. So Joe went his own way with Pfizer. When Joes father died, he left Joe his fortune, which was in the high millions. Joe left Pfizer and started his own company, of which they developed the pill that Sheree had given me. Jason was working for Pfizer as a comptroller and left with Joe. Jason was married to Sandra, who introduced him to Sheree. The company was very successful and was now on the American Exchange. Joe and Sheree were married four years ago. Last year Joe was in a terrible car accident and was nearly killed he was in the hospital two months and physical therapy for six months. He felt he was lucky to be alive, but seemed very depressed. Well anyway that’s the feeling I got while I was talking to him.
Sheree and Joe were on the deck now; Singhi had prepared breakfast for them. Sandra and Jason were not eating, they were still sick. Sheree and Joe were now getting some sun; lounging on the deck chairs and having coffee and we were talking. They looked a lot better than they did yesterday.
Time to leave the dock and head on south to Cabo. With help from two Mexicans with the mooring, we left the dock and our safe harbor that we enjoyed last night. I looked at my watch and it was 11:15 am, I Hit the squawk box and called, Singhi. I was getting a little hungry I only had a muffin and coffee for breakfast.
“I know your hungry, what do you want for lunch”?
Damn, he was standing there reading my mind. “What have you got”.
“What ever you want, I got it.”
. “Ok, I want a steak medium rare, baked potato and a salad”.
He frowned, turned and walked away, he stopped, and said
“You’re so predictable”. He turned and was gone again.
Sheree approached with a sweet smile on her face, “where is our next stop,” she asked? “Well, we where headed for point Abreojos, when the storm hit. I think we will probably go down as far as San Carlos. That way we can make it to Cabo tomorrow afternoon probably about 3:00 pm.”
