I agree the captain likely had an agenda all along. Despite my repeatedly saying I was on the look-out for cute locals or a floppy-haired Aussie or Kiwi, and repeatedly telling him he needed to find a local girl if he wanted any business success on any of the islands, he made his sleazy moves and tried to give locals the impression we were a couple. When it began to look like he would find a way to stay in the Cooks he even commented that my being there seemed to make the locals more open to him, made him seem more stable or something. Perhaps I'd have been willing to play along if I'd been asked nicely from the outset and it was clear it was only for show, but for that guy... probably not. Live and learn; gratefully, I made the most of the trip nonetheless.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058819754400979074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240600284836805056.post-32966031220464438652014-10-05T18:52:36.630-04:002014-10-05T18:52:36.630-04:00That's quite a story regarding the captain! I ...That's quite a story regarding the captain! I guess having you there was an agenda for him to get some and to show the locals that he had a girlfriend? I'm sure he had some sort of angle he was working (in addition to sex)...it seems everyone does...<br /><br />I thought I'd share a great blog I found.... www.mjsailing.com ...it's a couple that started in Michigan and just crossed the Atlantic. They went around the Caribbean too. I spent the last few weeks reading the entire thing, and it's an excellent read! Check it out if you haven't done so already.<br /><br />Thanks for blogging...it's one of the highlights of my days and a great break from the eff'd up reality of my life.<br />Stay warm...it's getting cold out there!
