    My name is Fred. Captain Fred sounds nice to me. I’m not actually a Captain, just a captain. I live on my sailboat, named ‘Comfortably Numb’, my retirement home in the Aegean Sea. Other stories in this series contain enough biographical information, so I won’t bore you again. Occasionally I place a classified ad hoping for paying charter guests. My normal motivation is that I want to buy something totally frivolous and unnecessary, usually some sort of electronic gadget – a UHD TV comes to mind. So far I’ve been pretty lucky; none of the half-dozen charters that I’ve hosted have been people that I would have wanted to drop off in mid-sea. Having arrogant, demanding guests that expect me to wait on them would probably be good to teach me some much-needed humility, but so far I’ve been lucky. Recently I received an email query from a couple about a week’s charter. I was surprised, as I hadn’t placed an ad. It got me thinking about that UHD TV, though. The letter was signed 'Mandy and Bob Rogers'. They specified that they wanted to be somewhere where there would not be big winds or rough seas. That’s a bit of a tall order in the Aegean in the summer. The northerly Meltemi winds blow hard for periods from two to six days - usually several six day contiguous periods. Going downwind, south, is usually no problem, most people think it’s euphoric, but upwind is pure torture in anything smaller than the QE2. Well, I don’t like it, anyway. I had planned to meet a friend on the ...

I’ve done this many times before and I like that island string a lot - Patmos, Arki and several others. Previous guests have always enjoyed that itinerary as well. I referred them to my web site where they would find more information about destinations, contact information and my bio. A few days later I got a call from a woman who said her name was Mandy, and said that she had asked about a charter. She sounded very pleasant. This would be the first time that they would be on a sailboat and she wanted to be sure that they would be comfortable with me. Sounded reasonable. Some people see my picture on my web site and assume that I’m just another harmless romantic on a sailboat in paradise. Works for me. But Mandy was much more thorough than that. First, she wanted to be sure that she would not be spending time hanging over the rail feeding her last meal to the fish. I assured her that that would not be happening. (I didn’t tell her that it was because there are no more fish in the Aegean.) Then she started to ask personal questions - my education, what I used to do for work, etc. She said that was to confirm she and Bob would have subjects that we could talk about. I used to run the IT department at a large corporation. I’m reasonably over-educated and I try not to be too overbearingly pompous. Sometimes it works. My ...
