I park my Mustang convertible in the parking lot, and grab the 2 bags that make up my luggage. The day is gorgeous - just perfect for sailing! My white short shorts show off my tanned legs to perfection, and the blue tank top molds itself to my breasts. My hair is long and left hanging loose, lightly blowing in the soft ocean breeze.
Walking along the slips, I glance at the paper in my hand, trying to locate the proper slip. When I reach it, I should have guessed. She's a beauty! Sparkling new, as dazzling as the sun, brass seeming to reflect the sun's rays.
There doesn't seem to be that many other people around, but hefting the weight of my bags, I walk up the gangplank, to find a man standing at the top.
"Excuse me, are you Rick? My name is Samantha Wells, Sam for short. Glad to be aboard! Uh, where can I stow my stuff?"
I know that I've just rattled off a lot of info, so I smile sweetly, while staring up at him with my green eyes.

"I'll take it Miss."
Tahoa picked her bags up in one arm. Indeed he could have picked Miss Wells up in the other one!
"Follow me please."
He nodded to Captain Rick and led the new arrival below decks and forward to her stateroom.
It was small but sumptuosly appointed and the bed looked just big enough for two, if they cuddled properly anyhow.
"My My," she said touching his tatooed bicep,
"but you are a big fellow, didn't Toyota name a truck after you?"
He chuckled at the joke and showed a set of fine white teeth to go along with his cinnamon skin.
"That's a good one Miss Welles. I'll remember that." He set her bags down.
"I hope you'll be comfortable here."
"Ummm....where's your cabin Tahoa?"
"Me! I don't have a stateroom. I'm the crew." He laughed again,
"I sleep on deck usually. Where we're going things stay pretty warm."

Before I know what hit me, the most incredible man plucks my bags from and asks me to follow him. As I walk behind him towards my cabin, I admire his physique. Yes, I'd follow this hunky native type anywhere!
As we entered the stateroom, my attention was taken away from Tahoa for just a moment. Wow! Everything was outfitted just perfectly! It wasn't overly large, but the materials used were the best to be found. It might be a hard choice to choose whether to spend most of my time here - with the proper company, of course - or up on deck.
"I sleep on deck usually. Where we're going things stay pretty warm."
"Hmmmm, maybe you might get a chance to introduce me to some of the pleasures of sleeping on deck, the stars above me, and breezes blowing over my body? That sounds almost as good as sleeping in this wonderfully cozy bed right here."
Brushing his arm slowly, I smile up at him, then give a short laugh as I spin around the room and land on the bed. Kicking off my sandals, I stretch out on the bed and sigh.
"Yes, Tahoa, this is a sheer slice of heaven....."
Hmmm, part of the crew, huh? I wonder if he knows how to handle a woman as well as he does a boat?

Melea
I parked my Jeep in the parking lot, and grabbed my two little bags that would make the trip with me. Hey, being on a boat you don't need much - bathing suits and shorts were just about it. I found the boat with no problem - wow, it was like what I had always wanted, a lot bigger than the small sailboat I had now.
I saw who I figured to be Captain Rick on deck, sipping on a Bloody Mary. "Rick, I'm Melea Manning." I shook his extended hand and said "I'm so looking forward to this cruise - I have always wanted to do this, but never had the opportunity. And by the way, what's the chance of talking you out of one of those Bloody Marys?"
This was going to be so great...

Rick
I didn't know which lady to look at first. They both looked very sexy. Melea had light red hair and was wearing a white cover-up
over her bikini. Nikki appeared to be younger, but she was wearing a hat and sunglasses and I couldn't quite make out her face. There was no mistaking her body - she had on a pair of very tight shorts and a tank top. The body of an athlete.
""Hi, I'm Rick" I said, extending a hand and helping them aboard.
Melea stepped in first, For a brief second the sea breeze sent her perfume in my direction. It was wonderful. As Nikki stepped on the deck her left foot slipped out from under her, abut I was able to grab her in time before she fell. She stood up, my hands on her slim waist.
"My hero", she said with a dazzling smile.
"My pleasure, madam", I said. "May I show you to your rooms?
I was expecting another guy, but it looks like he may not make it."
Melea turned to Nikki and they both broke into a mischievous grin.
Melea looked at me. "Well, there's no sense in anyone being left out." As they went below I could hear them giggling like schoolgirls. My cock was getting hard just thinking of the possibilities. I couldn't wait for them to get to their rooms and see the gifts we've provided.
Eenie, meenie, miny.....
"Tahoa. Are we ready to sail?"

Being the good host I wanted to be sure my guests were comfortable. The door to Melea's cabin was closed. Nikki's door was half-open, and what I saw next just drove me wild. I could clearly see Nikk's reflection in the full length mirror. She had taken off her hat and her long black hair fell almost to her waist. Her shorts and top came off next, and I stood there, in awe of her body. Her ass was perfect - the kind I'd like to hold in my hands while I buried my face in her pussy. Her natural, full breasts were as firm as her ass. Without realizing it, my hand was inside my shorts, stroking my rock hard cock.
Somehow it felt like she knew I was there, watching her while she stood there naked, brushing her long hair. Suddenly she turned toward the door and I hopefully moved away before she saw me. How embarassing would that be?

It was late, but I didnt know it cause I was fast asleep.
The plane had dropped me off and after a annoying row with immigration (why does that always happen?) I fell into the limo and fell asleep before we left the airport complex. I had got no sleep on the plane partly because I cant, but mostly because some idiot had let children into business class. The bratty noisy children that people with enough money to fly business class seem to bring up.
Little did I know as I slumbered away that we were now very late and it was only when I was woken when the brakes finally slammed on did I check my watch and I saw the ropes being released.
It was not a graceful walk up the gang-plank, more a headlong rush, arms and legs pumping suitcases in both hands and a holdall slung over my back.
There was no one on deck so I entered the hospitality suite. Still no one about. I took the door at the back of the room and walked down the row of cabins. There were no names or numbers on the doors, and I was feeling a little unsure about what to do. Eventually after lots of "umming" and "ahhing" I tried the door that had the least noise coming from behind it.
My timing couldnt have been worse. As the door swung open the occupent was in the throes of putting something into her bottom drawer. This wouldn't be that bad, but she was only wearing a thong bikini and as she was bending over she left very little to the imagination. I was enjoying the view but most embarrassed about it. I started apologising profusely, but she was very calm about it. She introduced herself as Melea Manning and offered to take me to the right room.
As much as I wanted to I couldnt look her in the eye again as she walked me down the corridor

Tahoa
The yacht was running with the wind at a bracing clip. They had picked up the westerly trades now, Tahoa was sure. That was luck, it might have been days beating slowly off the island.
He had stripped down to a pair of faded
black shorts that left litle to the imagination. The Captain had at first objected to his typical polynesian disregard of clothing and total lack of modesty but eventually Rick realised that it was very good for business.
Right now two of the lovely passengers, ostensibly out to watch the schools of flying fish that surrounded them were in fact watching him.
He did his best not to disapoint them, bending, turning, and flexing as he went about his duties, sweat naturally oiling the hard contours of a naturally athletic body.
Sam Welles finally ventured forward and touched his arm.
"Say Tahoa, where will we be going first?"
Her bikini accented the rich curves of her body beautifully. He was no stranger to good looking white women but this one was exceptional.
Her fingers traced the tribal tatoo markings that ran across his pwerful chest and biceps.
His cock was beginning to stir against his thigh...
"Cap'n Knows Miss Wells, but I'd say Easter Island might be first....The old statues bring 'im luck he says."
He turned and faced her directly, face breaking into a wide smile.
"It'll be a hot one tonight ma'am, you come up on deck. I'll show you a cool place to sleep...OK?"

Melea
OOC: Wow, Miles, have you already forgotten about me? I was female last time I looked!!!!
IC: I got to my room and started putting away my things. It was quite warm, so I slipped off my t-shirt and shorts and stood there in my bright green thong bikini. I was just about finished when the door to my cabin opened. I glanced around and there was a guy loaded down with more gear than I thought anyone could use on this type of cruise. I did notice, however, that his eyes were concentrated on my almost bare butt.
"Hi," I said, "I'm Melea Manning." He apologized over and over for barging in on me, and I continued to assure him that it was allright. "Let's see if we can find Rick, and find out what cabin you are in. And he also owes me a Bloody Mary."
We headed down the corridor in search of our good captain...

OOC: Miles, then I assume Nikki and Missla dropped as well? Hopefully some other gals will be interested in taking their places ~
IC:
Tahoa had left the stateroom, and I quickly packed what little necessities I had brought for the trip. The day was gorgeous, so I changed quickly into a white thong bikini, that accenutated my tan beautifully. And the thong really brought out one of my best, uh, assets!
Going up on deck, the stiff salt breeze causing my hair to fan back, and my nipples to harden slightly. Casually looking over the side, I noticed schools of fish swimming in the clear water. However, my real attention was drawn up to the native hunk driving the boat. His dusky skin slick with sweat. Every movement causing the muscles to ripple. The black shorts he wore only serving to outline a perfect male ass - one that begged to be touched, licked, bit. OH, Sam! Girl, snap out of it!! Just because you've never been with that type, what makes you think he's interested in you?
Still.....
Ah, what the hell. I climb up to where he is and, almost without thinking, reach out and....touch him. His skin is slick, his muscles hard. I look up into his face - at once exotic and handsome. A face I could see contorted with passion above me.....oh yes, very easily....
He speaks to me of being hot tonight, yes, well if I have anything to do with it, it WILL be!
"You will show me someplace cool, huh? Mmmm....well, in that case, I can hardly wait until tonight! But I, uh, guess I should let you get back to driving this thing, eh?"
I give him a smile, as I reach around and pinch that delicious ass of his, before climbing down.
I position myself on the bow, and stretch out to increase those tan lines - knowing I'm directly in Tahoa's line of vision....

Losing control here!!
Sorry missla - I'm beginning to confuse myself. You are definitely in. I posted a message seperate from this thread which said we needed two more women. Nikki reponded and posted twice. I PM'd her last night and haven't heard a word from her. Sarahuk joined and then dropped out. Obidiah joined. This is what we have now:
Three guys:
Tahoa
Rick
Barnaby(?)
Two women:
Samantha (sexychele)
Melea (missla)
This is the first RP I've started. You guys have done this more than me...any ideas?

OOC: Miles, just some gentle words of encouragement and advice. I've noticed that you have posted almost exclusively on the General Board. Things there move rapidly, with several people sometimes posting within an hour. The SRP board operates MUCH differently - especially over the weekend.
On the SRP board, consider yourself fortunate if all your players post at least once a day - some may post more often, and that is a bonus, but shoot for once a day. Expect that the board will slow dramatically over the weekends - people do have lives, and they live them.
On the General Board, it is easy to pop in, post a few lines, and leave. Here you are developing a story, and you must have the input of other living, breathing people. Sometimes it may take a person a little while to think of a response to a situation that has just occurred. You will notice on Monday, the SRP board becomes very busy, with everyone playing "catch up". It is not uncommon for some SRP to go to the 2nd or even 3rd page before some one will post to it again. Doesn't mean it's dead, just busy people.
Also, many of us are involved in multiple SRP, including running a few of our own. This takes additional time to develop those characters, figure out plot lines, and work with other players. Another reason why things may be slow or players may seemingly "disappear" for a while.
Another factor to consider? Time differences. I'm on the West Coast, Ariosto - for example - is on the East Coast. He may post something in the morning, yet I may not respond until late afternoon. Now, Obidiah (I think!) is in the UK, so his posts will be on an even stranger schedule, as he may be posting when the rest of us are asleep. That's OK....he's still in, just give him a chance to post and update his character. You'll notice he has already done this at the beginning.
To Miles AND EVERYONE: I've noticed we have at least one "newbie" and Miles is new to this and just a reminder to the rest.....if you know you may be away for longer than a couple of days, it is considered polite to make an OOC notice stating that you will be gone. Your other players can then set up scenes around you. And if, some reason, you cannot continue in the thread, it is considered polite to either write your character out, or notify the board that you will not becontinuing. SarahUK handled this perfectly.
Patience is the key - do you want the board to move quickly? Or would you rather have a good story emerge? Sometimes both work well, sometimes not. Remember you are working with other people, and there is a certain demand to be creative and inventive. This can take a little bit of energy and time to accomplish.
Finally, if you notice a character hasn't posted for a few days - say it is Tuesday, and the person hasn't posted since Friday - it is OK to PM them and ask if they are still in the game. Don't assume that they are automatically "gone" or "out" just because they haven't posted for one day.
That's about all I can think of for now.....anyone else think of something I've forgotten?

Also, many of us are involved in multiple SRP, including running a few of our own. This takes additional time to develop those characters, figure out plot lines, and work with other players. Another reason why things may be slow or players may seemingly "disappear" for a while.
Another factor to consider? Time differences. I'm on the West Coast, Ariosto - for example - is on the East Coast. He may post something in the morning, yet I may not respond until late afternoon. Now, Obidiah (I think!) is in the UK, so his posts will be on an even stranger schedule, as he may be posting when the rest of us are asleep. That's OK....he's still in, just give him a chance to post and update his character. You'll notice he has already done this at the beginning.
To Miles AND EVERYONE: I've noticed we have at least one "newbie" and Miles is new to this and just a reminder to the rest.....if you know you may be away for longer than a couple of days, it is considered polite to make an OOC notice stating that you will be gone. Your other players can then set up scenes around you. And if, some reason, you cannot continue in the thread, it is considered polite to either write your character out, or notify the board that you will not becontinuing. SarahUK handled this perfectly.
Patience is the key - do you want the board to move quickly? Or would you rather have a good story emerge? Sometimes both work well, sometimes not. Remember you are working with other people, and there is a certain demand to be creative and inventive. This can take a little bit of energy and time to accomplish.
Finally, if you notice a character hasn't posted for a few days - say it is Tuesday, and the person hasn't posted since Friday - it is OK to PM them and ask if they are still in the game. Don't assume that they are automatically "gone" or "out" just because they haven't posted for one day.
That's about all I can think of for now.....anyone else think of something I've forgotten?
