Sailing Stories

"When I'm older I want to sail to the end of the world! To the place where elves and dragons live together!" The little red haired girl said excitedly to her mother while her mother was just chuckling softly.. . . . . (The cover picture I'm using right now is just for the meantime, not permanent! It's some random picture I took in a game. I'll delete this note after the cover is there!)

The sea remembers every legend... even the ones the world tried to forget. In a world ruled by storms, lost islands, and ruthless pirates, a young crew sails across the endless ocean searching for something they cannot name. Treasure? Freedom? Or a destiny buried deep within the tides? Whispers speak of a forgotten map, a fleet marked by mysterious flags, and a power hidden beyond the horizon - a power that could change the fate of the world. But the sea is merciless. Pirate hunters, rival crews, ancient secrets, and shadows from the past follow every step of their journey. Every island hides a secret. Every storm brings a new danger. Yet they keep sailing. Through storms that try to break them, through enemies who hunt them, through secrets buried in the darkest corners of the sea. Because somewhere beyond the horizon, beyond the endless waves and shattered legends, something is waiting for them. Not treasure. Not glory. A place where their journey ends... and their story truly begins. A place where the lost become legends. A place they can finally call- Home.

After Harriet loses her husband on a solo Atlantic crossing, she starts a new life in France, renovating a medieval stone Priory and then letting it to holidaymakers. In England, Sir Hector, a bastion of British Banking born with a golden egg, not a mere silver spoon is approaching retirement. He finds diaries in one of his attics written by his female ancestors. He decides to publish them. Raunchy and licentious, they hit the No. 1 spot for ten weeks, earning him a spot on the Michael Parkinson Show. He is subsequently inundated with often salacious offers from women and decides to have some fun. He dates a number of them, mostly disastrously, but some are not without their benefits... Sir Hector, grounded by his aristocratic Aunt Tilly, is castigated for his behaviour. Harriet and Hector meet in unfortunate circumstances at a wedding in Scotland. He doesn't endear himself to her when a massive stag causes a collision, wrecking her car. In France, Harriet has adventures with her guests, romance with an old flame and, guiltily, an affair with the local count. Through thick and thin, Harriet is supported by her children; her brother Freddie and his boyfriend; and her great friend Aoife, who is as Irish and free-living as Harriet is restrained and correct. Hector buys a vineyard in France for his retirement and fosters an attachment to Harriet. Hector's social milieu is formed of his aristocratic friends, Aunt Tilly and his Swedish girlfriend with her thirteen Siamese cats. His alcoholic chef provides suspense whilst Jane, his no-nonsense Sloane Ranger PA and two Scottish spinsters are the source of much humour resulting from their sexual naivety, revealed when they are hired to reply to the vast sacks of often explicit fan mail sent to Sir Hector. From the skeletons of wartime German officers discovered under the local chateau to the chef's death on a superyacht and a thwarted terrorist attack - life in France is never dull.

"And don't you dare do the same thing again," he said over his shoulder. "Because next time I'll drown you myself." The door slammed shut behind him. I was left on the deck with Jungkook, the wet boards, and the ocean still moving as if from the beast's breath. Jungkook looked at me slowly. He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah," he muttered. "He kind of... likes you." What would you do if you'd ended up being kidnapped by pirates just moments after meeting the prince you were destined to marry? The story full of pirates, seas and secrets that are eager to be revealed. A BTS fanfiction. The characters DOES NOT resemble real people. I DO NOT OWN any of the BTS members but the OCs are all mine. The story will consist of 50 chapters. I hope you'll enjoy it!

It's called Deadly Curse ✨️ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6P6QdnsvdiqlRV4tHZLoSv?si=5sOzjBe1RMaBP1ymtiUuew&pt=f1a07b6726a2371628f800a80b76b585&pi=zIe3TZx-RROfp

Two strangers in their mid-sixties come together to turn their dreams into reality. Their three-year adventure takes them through extreme sailing in some of the wildest and most remote waters on the planet, and they do it in comfort and style. Many parts of this book read like Action/Adventure novels and, at times, Thrillers. Some of the experiences, both afloat and ashore, are so incredible that some might consider them Fantasies. But it all happened, and as the adventure unfolded, I wrote a blog that gained over 3,000 daily views and grew beyond a million words and over 2,500 images. This is a condensed rewrite of that blog, but with Wattpad's limit of twenty images per chapter, I've included only 2,450 here.

A trader who comes once in a while tells stories of great settlements made of stone. Populations that number in the thousands. Warriors who wield weapons that summon fire and erupt with thunder. Great wooden structures that sail across massive bodies of water. It is almost impossible to imagine. Alvis and Floris think they know their home well enough. But the swamp is about to unleash the worst it has to offer...
