Another adventure
The view across the arrival hall of small local airport hired for this corporate event pulled eyes to the tarmac in distance, where the go karts were lined up. The fresh nearly chilly breeze of autumn flowed inside the lobby every time the automatic double glass doors opened, when all the busses emptied their cargo of clients and corporate people out directly in front of the entrance. The chilled breeze was blowing through the whole rectangular entrance hall, which was framed with catering tables covered in white tablecloths hidden under the plates and hot plates of food. The scent of the omelet, sausages, fried potatoes mixed with coffee was all over the hall and lingered around and between the conversations and friendly laughs of everyone there.
All those scents made his stomach growl as it should, since it was breakfast time and he was hungry as one should be in the morning, especially after few night cups on arrival to the hotel night before. Immediately he stopped at the first table and filled his plate like it was end of the times and the food would disappear in the blink of the eye. As he dig into the omelet and sausage, his eyes spotted the big fluffy hat floating above the heads of others, as if the grey rabbit just escaped from the magician hat and was hopping from head to head, what caused his facial muscles contract and made a smile on his face .
This was the funniest hat he has seen in his twenty five years to even stop him from eating and that is something else to say but, when the rabbit turned around he stopped eating completely. His gaze met the look of the most beautiful green eyes he ever saw with matching smile. The room, everyone and everything in it just faded out as if someone turn off the sound, and focused the binoculars on this particular face since everything else ceased exist at that very moment. Universe had just started again as it contracted to one point and then big bang. As they say, the moment stood still and even the chilly breeze just instantly changed to Caribbean beach breeze. He felt like he fell in the depth of green ocean where he got hopelessly lost.
Yes the memories flowed back as if it was yesterday and the images in memory came back with slow but steady stream to remind him of the better days. Better days when he was young and stupid, since now he was only stupid as much as the years passed, he did not thought that he get any wiser as people use to say but who cares.
The boat was gliding over the surface of the big blue ocean when passed the emerald green parts of shallow areas. The twin Yamaha 200 engines at the back gently purred and pushed the boat through the swell and small waves that gently rolling in and out underneath the boat. They both sit a the helm and looked out to the sea and to the front of the boat where the six scuba tanks with assembled scuba gear were lined, ready to be used for another fun trip with clients. Four clients are sitting at the prov and try to soak up the atmosphere. I never thought that I will get lost in the big blue the same way I got lost in those green eyes, but here we are together and living the dream, he said out loud. Yes she said, never crossed my mind that I will be living at the sea and from the sea. The throttle was gently pushed forward and as the propellers turned faster the bow raised up and the ‘MAGIC’ what was the name of the boat, which was agreed upon simultaneously after some discussion as usual when two people try to agree on something, started to cut the waves below and wind ruffled the hair of all aboard.
With this speed we will be on spot within half an hour so please prepare your gear and do your checks before the arrival as we want to start search for the sunken boat as soon as we will arrive.
