A Korean boy did the cooking, and I usually took a friend or so along to share the joys of the cruise.

Also, I took my machine along and did my thousand words a day.

On the particular trip I have in mind, Cloudesley and Toddy came along.

This was Toddy's first trip.

On previous trips Cloudesley had elected to drink beer; so I had kept the yacht supplied with beer and had drunk beer with him.
But on this cruise the situation was different.
