Things have been really tense on the boat these days. I'm been waiting for Jim to crack regarding his prisoner below, or catch him feeding him, or anything that would give me more information about WHAT IS GOING ON ON THIS BOAT!!!!!!! But so far I haven't seen a hint and he's acting like nothing is unusual. What if I'm wrong about all this? Am I losing my mind?On the left is one of the more handsome boats we have seen on the whole trip. In an effort to pretend everything is normal, Jim and I got into some serious negotiations with the owner to buy it. We knew our wives would back us up and love it as much as we did. (The interior is really pretty special, believe me. The four of us could sail it to the Bahamas after a little work.) When it came right down to pulling the trigger on the purchase (the price of such a special craft is no object, believe me) there was some kind of trouble with the title, and it didn't go through. We were heartbroken.
The stress associated with our passenger/prisoner/stowaway is starting to show on me, but not on Jim. Two days ago I started to have symptoms of some sort of tooth trouble, and started in on the Ibuprofen. I was running low yesterday and in serious pain last night, all of this brought on by the "Westin" problem, I'm sure. (I hope Jim has plenty of insurance and good legal representation when this all gets sorted out.) I needed help and went down in the engine room (see photo #2) to see if I could locate Westin and ask him for his version of what's going on and if he had any pain meds and/or antibiotics, but he wouldn't come out, so I called my dentist. I can hold out as long on this as Jim can. The upcoming bad weather will break him, just watch.
