Chapter 9

It was a beautiful morning out, and I wondered down to the lodge and had coffee and pancakes with Fred and a couple of the other shirt-tail relatives and guests. I walked down to the marina, and checked the Princess out. Everything seemed ship-shape, but no sign of Audrey. I puttered around until about 9:30, and then decided to look for Audrey up at Uncle Ed's cabin.

I knocked on the door and let myself in. The place was a bit of a mess, especially the living room. I found several empty wine bottles and a couple of empty wine glasses on the coffee table. I noticed the video camera was on its tripod in the living room as well, and I shuddered at the prospect that Audrey may have shown Judith the naughty little dance I had taped the other night. I knew I didn't show up on the tape, but there would be no mistaking my voice on the tape. I knew I should have taken that tape.

Just then Audrey came around the corner, looking rather rumpled and sleepy.

"Hi Dave." She mumbled. Audrey wore a tee shirt and panties and was rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?"

"Oh, about a quarter to ten." I said.

"Oh wow." She said, "It's a lot later than I thought." Audrey started picking up the empty bottles and put them in the trash.

"Looks like you had fun last night." I observed.

"It was all Judith's fault." Audrey said, grinning at me. "She's such a bad influence."

"I can only imagine." I said, rolling my eyes.

Just then, a barefoot Judith came padding into the room from the guest bedroom. Her hair was flat on one side and her eyes were only about half-open and bloodshot. She was wearing the same clingy little top that she had on yesterday, and scanty little panties that were almost sheer. I could almost make out the blonde tuft of hair and the outline of her nether lips. Judith plopped into the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table.

"Hi Dave." she deadpanned. "Hi Audrey." She tried to run her fingers through her bedraggled hair.

"Hi Sunshine!" I said, "Did we have some fun last night?" Audrey got a couple of cans of Diet Coke out of the fridge and handed one to Judith. Then she plopped on the couch next to Judith.

"I'm pretty sure I bamaged some drain cells." Judith said, sipping her coke and propping her head in her hand.

"Do you guys still want to go sailing today?" I asked, a little uncertainly. I was sitting in the chair across from them, and couldn't help but admire how nice they both looked, even though they were so hung over looking.

"Do we have to go right away?" Judith asked. "I need a little time to put myself back together."

"No rush." I said, "We can put it off for a while. The weather is still supposed to be nice this afternoon."

"Oh yeah, that'd be a whole lot better." Judith said. "I'm not sure I could take all those waves right now."

Audrey piped up, "Yeah, I had forgotten about those waves. That could be bad right now."

"How about right after lunch then?" I asked.

"Sounds much better." Judith deadpanned without an ounce of enthusiasm.

As much as I was enjoying the view, I left them there, and went back to the Princess and decided to do a little more maintenance work until lunchtime, when they showed up with a cooler and a picnic basket.

It turned out to be a perfect day for sailing. The fact that I had two good-looking young ladies on board didn't detract from it one bit. Audrey had on her denim cutoffs and a bikini top, and Judith wore some little shorts and a t-shirt. I could see that she had a yellow bikini under her outfit.

After we got the boat under way, we headed towards the north end of the lake, and with a nice breeze, the sailing was a lot of fun. It turned out that Judith had sailed before, and was fairly comfortable at the wheel. The sky was a wonderful blue, with big puffy clouds, and Judith was like a kid with a new toy, completely focused on making the boat go as fast as possible. The three of us managed to get the big spinnaker up and really got the boat flying across the lake. Though Audrey and Judith might not have been the most experienced sailors on the lake, they made about the best looking crew I'd seen on a boat anywhere.

Judith had peeled off her t-shirt and shorts, so she could get a tan while sailing. There was the occasional spray that would come over the bow as well, so I took off my t-shirt to put it in a dry place and decided to work on my tan for a while as well. I'm an ordinary guy, but I am in pretty good shape. I caught Audrey looking at me as I peeled off my t-shirt, and she discretely winked at me and licked her lips. I glanced at Judith. She was completely into her sailing.
