Chattering Noise
It is time to leave.
But dad we have sold our transport!
Son I have hired our old boat, long enough to get us to Alexandria, the new owner will be crewing for us while she learns the ropes.
She?
Yes the new owners a women. No cracks about having a women on board?
Dad what will we do when we reach Alexandria?
We hire a pair of camels.
Can’t we hire donkeys dad, they don’t spit.
No the last time I hired a donkey my feet touched the ground. No we take camels and head south.
Now get that outboard ticking over….

Sounds like a grand adventure!
Thank you drailman, what I saw in Egypt will live in my memory for ever.
Ah, an adventure!
What I saw in Egypt will live with me forever
Nice. Looks like they are on an adventure of a lifetime.
Adventures can be fun, but the story is yet to be written
I love your idea of crewing on a boat to learn the ropes. I hope she learns a lot on the way to Egypt and that the father and son find what they are looking for when they get there. Good story, Michael.
I was so pleased to read your feedback. I am hopeful that I will at some point come up with ideas for what happens next.
