Fletcher Quill Chapter 131
ADVENTURES OF FLETCHER QUILL
Supreme Court Justice Quill could have taken any number of very cool methods to make the return trip to his beloved northern Ireland castle he has been absent from for five years...
He thought maybe renting one of the new private jets all his rich friends fly around in. Or just climb into the plush first class seats he loves on Virgin Airlines. Briefly he considered driving his new Italian rocket ship to New York then jump on a luxury ship and sip 100 year old scotch all the way home!
Instead he rented a 50 foot sailboat with crew named "Piewhackit" moored at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor. A boat dreams are made in sleek and equipped with all the electronics needed to make an easy crossing before winter seas begin to gather. When Quill was a college student living on a Sausalito house boat he became friends with several wealthy big boat owners and learned to sail.
This crossing has many adventures to say the least! Dolphins and whales followed the boat for many miles. Night skies alive with endless stars and midnight swims in very cold water followed by bong loads of the gunga Keith Richards gave the Judge as a goodby safe trip gift.
Quill made sure the stereo loaded spending many nights singing along with Muddy while Quill blew killer key of G Blues Harp. One incident raddled the girls when while waiting out a twenty mile fog bank late at night a power boat appeared and three would be pirates thought they had found an easy target.
Quill pulled his semi auto Remington twelve gauge shot gun and put two holes in the pirate hull sending them away quick! The girls loved how the old man did not hesitate to shoot first and ask no fucking questions as he knew they were bad hombres looking for quick booty...
WOMEN SAILORS
Quill loves the feel of the sail boats large wood and steel wheel as the evening sunset begins splashing colors across the bow... He thinks back to his early sailing days up and down the California coast in all weather. In those days his crews were always boys, men.
Though men are stronger Quill soon found out woman were better adapted to the often challenging at times boring life sailing long distances often in bad weather!
By the time Quill was in his late forties he was convinced woman provided a safer less ego driven life in the small spaces common in 40 to 60 foot blue water boats...
During his third long run to Cabo San Lucas during the 1970s, his all male crew pulling lines on his 40 foot boat had two fist fights that nearly caused an overboard emergency twice!
That was his last long ride with a boy crew and the start of many wonderful passages with the girls...
This boat has everything needed for safety and electronic navigation. Now global GPS means anyone could find their way to anywhere in the world safely. The only sad moments on this long three week passage to coast of Ireland are the giant pools of discarded junk plastic and other garbage encountered.
Man has been very successful fucking up the once pristeen oceans of Quill's youth no question.
Global phone sounds, its Ravens Haven.
"Can you hear me Sir?"
"Yes Mr. Durkee very clear."
Mr. Durkee is Quills long-time man servant who runs the castle.
"We are 50 miles from my castle and expect to make land early in the morning. Has my cat Timba arrived safely I pray?"
"Oh yes he is in your bed chambers enjoying his evening cream as we speak Sir."
"Please prepare quarters for my three girl crew use your good taste make them feel at home. They will be staying for one week before sailing back to Sausalito. I do miss my beloved Ravens Haven. See you in the morning."
"Sir you have four or five full cell phones waiting to be unloaded as you instructed. We have made sure your fly tying tower and library are stocked with your favorite ancient scotch and killer weed. we have attempted to install your new 25 inch Telescope hooked up to the library smart electronics as requested."
"Good work Mr. D, one more small request. My new Italian rockit is being shipped will be there in three days. Ask my car tender to prepare the climate controlled glass inclosed stall for my new baby. Do you have any negative reports on the overall condition of Ravens Haven?"
"No Sir, I did find several old photos showing the way the castle looked before your five million dollar rehab."
"Excellent work we willl be taking a small shore boat into the dock around 5am. Better have extra warm robes for the girls whom I will spoil for their week at the castle."
"I will prepare the garage for your 488. Your castle awaits Sir! Wonderful to see you again."
Before Judge Quill can begin last minute boat rigging and getting everything
ready for coming ashore his Global Phone goes off again, its his most Holy old Pal the 14th Dali Lama.
"Quill you must be getting close to your castle by now?"
"Yes Dali we will hit land early in the morning. Whats up with you? Are you back in India?"
"Have some latest news you will love my friend. My contacts in New York
tell me two of the main players in the Clinton criminal empire are ready to flip or roll over on the prison bound bitch Hellery and her crook hubby!"
"Man. I knew that was coming. Thanks much will pass this to the Trumpit who surely has heard already. The criminals will be finnally going the fuck down after decades of horror show bullshit. You Dali are welcome to come hang at Ravens Haven whenever you want. Great to hear your voice again. Peace my Brother..."
