BAREBOATERS
A Jim and Mary Story
CHAPTER ONE
Over Christmas Mary and Jim had discussed their plans for a bareboat charter with Isobel. She was enthusiastic and was going to bring a friend, but the friend never materialized. So in the end just the three of them went down to St. Vincent for the eight-day sailing trip.
They had a fine sail down from Carriacou. The first few miles were hard on a brisk wind, but then they had a beautiful run down the coast in the lee of the cliffs. When they turned into Tyrell Bay and felt their way up the channel the setting sun was warm at their backs. Isobel went forward as they approached the anchorage. When the boat stopped she let go the anchor and Jim put the throttle in reverse to set the hook in the mud. Isobel was wearing bikini bottoms and a loose tee shirt. As she bent toward the bow of the boat to tie off the anchor rode the cloth fell away from her body, allowing the setting sun to shine under her shirt and illuminate her bare breast. Jim looked to see if his wife had noticed. She caught his eye and winked at him. Isobel straightened up and picked her way back to the cockpit, jumping down off the side deck with a thump that made her small breasts jiggle.
Isobel was in her forties, ten years younger than Mary. She was short, whereas both Jim and Mary were tall. Isobel's eyes were brown, set well apart, with fine lines at the corners, which crinkled when she smiled or laughed. She was solid, some would say chunky, with a little show of belly and small breasts, though it was normally difficult to tell exactly what size she was because of the clothes she habitually wore. She had obviously taken the advice of fashion magazines about how to dress a figure like hers. But she did dress down for the boat!
They were moored between two other boats. Abeam of them was a sleek fifty-footer that didn't seem to have anybody aboard. Just ahead of them on the other side was a typical live aboard boat of about 30 feet with an awning, a wind generator and a row of jerry cans tied to the safety lines. As they settled in the cockpit with gin and tonics, their reward a good day's sailing, they watched a tanned blonde girl come to the transom of the other boat, pour water over herself, put shampoo on her hair and start to lather up. She was completely naked, and as she raised her arms above her head to work in the shampoo, the muscles of her upper chest tightened and pulled her small breasts upwards. They wobbled back and forth as she rubbed her hair vigorously; not in time, like a stripper's trick, but like two uncoordinated jelly moulds. The brown nipples brought erect by the dowsing of cold water flicked back and forth in the setting sun.
"That's quite a sight," said Jim appreciatively.
"I suppose you wish you could see something like that on this boat," replied Isobel.
Jim was saved from having to provide a rejoinder by the appearance on the other boat of a naked young man with long hair and a straggly blonde beard. He reached up and helped the girl with her shampoo, but soon his hands transferred some of the bubbles to her body and on to her chest. She stood still, her hands in the foam on top of her head, while he massaged shampoo into her breasts. As he did so his penis twitched and began to lengthen, first downwards, and then, as the blood pumped into it, stiffening away from his body. He stepped close to the girl, and the erection vanished somewhere between her buttocks, and out of their view. The girl brought a handful of soapy foam down from her head and spread it in her crotch. The tip of his penis, now red and distended, briefly appeared between her legs, it's head nuzzling between the lips of her vulva. She bent and picked up the water bucket and poured it over their heads while he held her tight, his left hand on her breast, and his other hand splayed over her pubic hair, cupping her mound. The pair took no notice of the three interested spectators astern of them, who sat silently with their drinks half raised in an involuntary, but appreciative, toast.
As the young couple turned and started washing each other down with a bar of soap, Mary said "Phew, that looks like fun", and Isobel replied with a wicked grin "Doesn't it just!"
Jim kept quiet, aware of his own erection pressing uncomfortably against the inside of his swimming shorts, and not wanting to bring attention to it.
Isobel said to him "And I know someone who got turned on by it?" and stared at his shorts.
"Well, yeah, of course," he said, swallowing hard, and glancing at his wife, who raised an amused eyebrow at him.
He looked back at the couple on the other boat, who were now in a passionate embrace and seemed to have given up any idea of getting any cleaner. The man reached away from the blonde, threw the bucket over the side and hauled it back full of water. He poured some of it over himself, and threw the rest of the water over the girl.
"You shit," she screamed, laughing.
She chased him and his cock, which was now at full staff, down into the cockpit. She reached round him and grabbed is erection in her hand and frog marched him, her front pressed against his buttocks, to the companionway. Laughter and squeals carried across the anchorage as they disappeared below and the sun began to set.
"What a pity," said Isobel, "I was just beginning to enjoy the show."
Mary got up without looking at either of them and announced that she was going to have her shower too.
"Are you going to give us a show, too?" asked Jim. Mary just looked at him and went below. Jim bit his tongue. His wife was modest to a fault and even when they were the only boat in an anchorage would never shower nude on the transom.
"Well, that went over like a lead balloon," said Isobel, sarcastically, when she had gone.
And then she added, needling him in a quiet voice, "Pretty turned on, weren't you?"
Jim was embarrassed, but laughed. "Sure. Can't help it"
His wife came back, still in the blue one-piece bathing suit, carrying a large towel, soap and shampoo, which she dropped on the cockpit cushions. He liked the bathing suit because of the high cut at the thigh, and the zipper, which reached from her neck to her navel. Mary had thought it too provocative for a woman of her age and had been reluctant to buy it. But he had wanted her to get it because he liked the thought of unzipping it and getting her breasts out, and in the end she had humored him and bought it.
He opened the cockpit bench at the stern and folded it down so that she could stand at the transom. Mary pulled the showerhead and hose out of the holder and the electric pump whirred as water sprayed over her head and darkened the blue of the suit. She put shampoo in her hair and rubbed it into a lather. She hosed it off, spluttering and spitting and wiping the water from her face with her hand. Mary turned away from them into the sunset, unzipped her suit, pulled the shoulder straps down her arms and peeled the top down to her waist.
"Wow!" said Jim, surprised, and laughed delightedly.
Without looking back at him she held out her hand for the soap.
Jim loved to look at her. She was quite tall and solid. She had broad handsome shoulders, and her arms were strong with a little extra flesh above the elbow. She had a good waist broadening out into her hips, set atop solid thighs. Her calves were well shaped, the ankles narrow and shapely. Not bad, he thought for, 55 years old and four kids. The top of the costume draped around Mary's middle and she bent to pick up the showerhead again. Her full bosom swung below her chest, the skin in front of her armpit stretching taut as the weight of her breast pulled at it. She stood up and her breasts flattened against her rib cage, a little pendulous, but with erect nipples facing into the setting sun.
He was aware of dryness in his mouth, brought on by the tension amongst the three of them that this simple disrobing had engendered. His penis was pushing the fabric of his shorts away from his thigh. He wasn't fully erect, but his heart was beating fast and he felt flushed. His wife sprayed water on her shoulders and down her front and began to soap herself, lifting a breast to soap its underside and shifting her breasts backwards and forwards as she cleaned them.
He stood up, aware of his growing engorgement, and of Isobel's eyes upon him.
"Give me the soap," he said, an involuntary huskiness in his voice. "I'll do your back."
Mary handed him the soap but it slipped out of his hand and skidded across the deck to stop at Isobel's feet. He bent to pick it up, and as he stood up she opened her mouth and whispered very softly to him "Go for it!"
He soaped Mary's shoulders, a familiar chore he always enjoyed, and then stepped up and pressed his chest against her soapy back. He enveloped her in his arms and hugged, her breasts sliding slippery under his forearms. She pushed back into his body and tilted her head back while he nuzzled her neck. He could feel his stiffness trapped between his stomach and the base of her spine. And he felt the engorged heat of it against his skin and wondered if she could feel it too.
He hefted her breasts in his hands as he rubbed the soap into them. They moved in and out of his grasp. Jim felt the nipples slipping across his palm. The unzipped top of her one-piece hung slackly around her waist, the arm loops and cups empty, except for splashes of soapy water.
"You feel good," Jim whispered.
