Port Bliss

Book Cover & Preview Text
Finally, they reached port. Cappy remembered the Sea Quest docking near the shrimp house, just down from his net shop. What a magnificent vessel. Fenders thrown out, he helped along with seven or eight other fishermen to meet her, catch the lines, and tie her to port. Much like mother nature and the ocean, the Sea Quest showed no bias. Dressed in all her regalia, she was huge and commanded the power of many men to rein her in.
Norris and Jim were first off the Sea Quest, like bats out of hell, as though they were trying to run away from a bad dream. Captain Bill shut down the main engines and joined the other crewmen on the dock.
No one said anything. Each just grabbed their gear and found their loved ones. Cappy knew something bad happened as he watched the crewmen give long silent hugs to those welcoming their return. No one knew what to say. Their expressions said it all. Family understood life at sea was rough and knew not to ask for details.
Then, out of nowhere, Cappy watched a petite lady walking down the dock. All the men froze and followed Captain Bill's eyes. It was Brandy, Dave's wife, walking slowly towards the Sea Quest. This was the moment everyone on the Sea Quest was dreading.
