The lone sailor

Round the world voyage

Becalmed in the Pacific Ocean

Away from all shipping lanes

Far from any land

No wind in his sails

Drifting aimlessly

The days became endless

Fishing for fresh food

Cooking for one

Talking to himself over dinner

Praying for some wind

He became depressed

Uncertain of his future

Late in the afternoon

Spotted a small craft

Decided to run the engine

In order to make contact

Tied up alongside 

A small sailing boat

Nobody aboard

He was worried

Did the sailor fall overboard

Then he heard a splash

A woman was surfacing

She had been diving with a spear gun

Roped to the boat for safety

She threw a large fish onto the deck

Before climbing onto the stern

She was very attractive

Smiled at him and said

I saw you approaching

So I decided to catch us dinner

Will you join me she said smiling

Of course he responded

They spent hours talking

Found they had so much in common

Decided to complete their voyages side by side

Rafting together daily

They fell in love

He combined their two journals

Wrote a book about their adventures

Emailed it to his agent

Received a huge advance from a publisher

They gave up solo voyaging

Sold their small boats

Bought a larger boat for them both to live on

No more lone sailing

Book was a best seller

Married at sea

The wind blew every day
