As a commercial fisherman I was making a good living fishing with my nets in the tropical rivers and lagoons at night and sleeping by dayâŠ
On my 40th birthday I decided it was time to provide myself with some of the comforts of life. I had never married. Fishing had been my whole life since age 16. I lived and worked on the boat .I sold my fish in the local tourist town.
My life was taken up by sleeping during the day, or drinking rum with a beer chaser at the local pub near the fish market.
The old girl behind the bar at the local told me of a property developer who was strapped for cash and was trying to flog his luxury houseboat in a hurry. The boat had a permanent mooring was connected to all services. Its location was central to everything, yet in a secluded spot on the river.
The day I looked it over, the owner and his wife were there arguing over the sale. She wanted to keep it. He said let it go and the sooner the better.
It was a Taj Mahal compared with my old fishing rig...
His wife, who introduced herself as Annette, showed me around.
Microwave, full size freezer, TV. shower and spa, a lounge room, two bedrooms, one with a large double bed , washing machine ,carpets and tiles .flushing toilet etc etc
âThis is a beautiful boat but the best thing is its position. It so private no one knows you are hereâ, Annette said, as she sat on the edge of the bed giving me a good view of her magnificent cleavage and a pair of legs unhindered by her mini skirt.
âYou can park your vehicle in the resortâs car park, walk a hundred yards down the lane and you are on the water away from all prying eyesâ she went on with a smile.
I was mesmerised. Her rich perfume filled my nostrils My eyes roamed over her body. It was a dream I knew I looked like an old perv, but I didnât care, I was completely captivated.
She took hold of my hand âif you buy it I will come down and help you settle inââŠ..I was too slow and tongue tied to respond but was saved from making a mug of myself by her husband, who burst in offering to do a deal on price if I bought today.
A couple of hours later I was the proud owner of a house boat.
Moving in wasnât a problem as all I had to do was tie my old rig up along side?
My old boatâs shower was over the loo and it was not connected to services like the houseboat so water was scarce.
The luxury of space and unlimited water including hot water was all I could think of as I returned from the fish market after selling my catch .It was mid morning and I was half undressed as I pushed open the house boat door.
The first thing that hit me was the smell of cigarette smoke. .I swung around and leaning against the bedroom door was Annette âŠMy memory must have let me down because I had forgotten how stunning she was.
Her tight white short shorts, her red halter top that hugged her large firm breasts, her dark brown tan, and her ruby red lips topped off with long shiny jet black hair made a breathtaking sight. Especially for a fisherman who was not used to being so close to a beautiful woman.
âI have been waiting for you, where have you been?â she purred.
I quickly explained that I was generally free between about 10 am when I finished selling my catch and 5 pm when I set off for a nights fishing.
She didnât seem to take much notice other than to tell me to shower and clean myself up, as she wanted to explain the workings of the house boat.
Standing under a steady stream of hot water, I started to wonder whether this lady was for real âŠ.was she just a kind helper⊠what should I do to thank her... My previous sexual experiences with women amounted to two âŠ.both when full of liquor and both one night stands...
I didnât really know how to chat up a woman; I had never learnt how you went about trying to get them to sleep with you.
In fact I was completely stunned that Annette had seemed to take an interest in me.
Annette called from the lounge, âyou need new towels⊠your clothes are a mess, I canât find any after shave or cologne, what have you been using all these yearsâ.
I shaved, rubbed myself down, put on my only decent pair of shorts before venturing out into the lounge.
Annette had been busy, the place was tidy, coffee was steaming in two cups, and she sat smoking looking like a million dollars.
She looked me over. .I knew that I brushed up ok. I carried no fat. I was 6 foot, well built, good muscles from hauling fishing nets, tanned, with a slightly receding hairline, no oil painting but nothing to be ashamed off.
Annette studied the hard tan body...HMMM she thought he is niceâŠ. ShyâŠ.. But physically toughâŠ. not soft like my husband and his buddies. . She studied him closely Yes he is different all right ⊠not just physically different. He really is older and innocent
âThatâs betterâ she said, âI knew when you came down to buy the boat that under that scruffy outfit there was potentialâ.
I got out a bottle of OP rum and poured a slug into my coffee, I looked at her she nodded so I topped up hers.
