You’re a big boy!
Thursday 13th December, 2007.
Last night was the “Web-blast” Christmas party for the local (Sydney) web industry. Kajo, fellow webmaster, and I went along and I met up with many familiar faces. The beer was free. I drank many beers.
When I woke up I soon realised that little work would get done today. Hung-over, this was just the excuse I needed to hang-out on the boat all day.
I got up to the boat later in the morning, motored over to Balls Head Bay, near Berry Island, where I anchored and snoozed away the afternoon.
A large motor cruiser came along and anchored not far from me. Onboard were around half a dozen blokes and a couple of women. It looked like a small business/office Christmas party. I continued to doze while they had their little party.
Later, I decided to inflate the new inflatable dinghy I recently purchased through ebay (”Intex Sea Hawk” 2.36m). I paddled to shore and had a walk around Berry Island Reserve.
When I paddled back to the boat things on the motor cruiser were heating up. The girls were now on the aft deck, naked. The guys were a lot more rowdy. I snoozed away on deck but could overhear the occasional loud comment such as “You’re a big boy” and “Good job girls”. I looked over and noticed that one fellow was on the bow of the boat having an intense conversation into his mobile phone. Perhaps he was not comfortable joining in the festivities further aft.
Not long after, the motor cruiser started up its engines. The girls, now standing exultant on the aft deck, vaunted their nakedness and gave me a wave. The skipper winched up the anchor and they were away. Back to peace and quite and more snoozing.
Eventually I too called it a day and headed back to the mooring.
