A sailboat sails into an anchorage, drops her anchor and settles into place.
A few minutes later another sailboat pulls up right next to her.
The bigger boat strikes up a conversation.
Wyvern: Is this spot taken?
Caprice: Well I guess not. But don't get too close, if the wind switches around you might be on top of my anchor!
Wyvern: Very Interesting.....
Caprice: Don't get any ideas!
Wyvern: What is this place?
Caprice: St James City. Right off the south end of Pine Island.
Wyvern: Do you come here often?
Caprice: Once or twice a year. Wait a minute, have you been following me?
Wyvern: No, just going my way.
Caprice: I've seen you before. You're always right behind me, then when I look back, you quick veer off like you are trying to catch the wind.
Wyvern: Guilty as charged. I save a lot of fuel that way.
Caprice: Sure Big Boy, but I believe in a more direct route. A little diesel power for me. I just want to get here and get hooked up by cocktail hour.
Wyvern: Hooked up?? Even more interesting.
Caprice: That means anchored! Don't get any ideas. Just 'cause you have a fancy jib and longer waterline doesn't make you so hot.
Wyvern: So you think I'm hot. Wanna hang out?
Caprice: I gotta stay here for the night. Look at that sky, kind of threatening.
Wyvern: Don't worry little lady, That thunder storm won't amount to much. If you get bounced around during the night just give me a holler. I monitor Channel 68. I'll be watching out for you.
Caprice: I guess you are kind of cute in a swashbuckling sort of way. Where are you headed next?
Wyvern: A great little place called El Jobean Florida. The water is calm, the wind is favorable, and I have a nice dock to snuggle up to. And best of all, Shore Power!
Caprice: Shore Power!! Sounds like a place I could spend the summer. Is there room for one more?
Wyvern: Sure is. I know where there's another great little dock just right for you. Come on along. I know a few shortcuts and I'll guide you through the shallow spots.
Caprice: I'm with you.
Both: This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
