As soon as we approached the marina in St. Thomas, I could see his face turning red.
“Do you see this Laura Lee?”
“Yes, I do Max.”
“Things are changing. I used to love this little marina. Now, it’s always under construction and overcrowded with boats in every little space. It won’t be long before we won’t have a dock for our sailboat. I can recall when we’d be the eye candy for all who loved a good looking sailboat. Now, we can barely navigate around these obstacles.”
“Max, lookout. There’s a cruise ship coming; starboard side.”

Man overboard.

This made me laugh, I think the deadpan style of the narrator and the final line made it just so.

Thank you, Michael. I don’t try humorous writing too often. I’m glad it came across as humorous. It was my intention.

Oops, I think he needed to pay more attention and moan a little less. Let’s hope he can swim.

He was so distracted with his whining he never saw it coming. LOL
I think he can swim. His ego might be sinking though. : )
Thanks, Sarah. Have a nice weekend.

Oh no, PJ. He’s OK in this story. Just a little red in the face and a few extra expenses.
Glad you enjoyed …

I think Max’s ego is sinking as quickly as his sailboat.

Querida Isadora,
So much for eye candy. Their Yacht just became a Yicht. Pride goeth before a crunch. Funny, although I doubt that Max is laughing. 😉 .
Shalom,
Rochelle

Querida Rochelle,
Max is slowly sinking in his sailboat along with his ego. It’s a good thing he can swim. LOL
Me encanta la palabra ‘Yicht’. : )
I was trying to write something light and fun this week.
Gracias mi amiga,
