The Captain never seemed to take a break, neither did the girl by his side. He dwelled in the bridge hours at a time, often forgetting to sleep and eat.…

A couple of crewmen could have destroyed the pirates, but U.S. law averts cruise ships from being armed. And then there are the law makers, whose temerity as well as attempts to preserve political hides keep nearby naval ships from coming to the rescue.

Then I grabbed a copy of Moby Dick and read for a while, listening to the rain drum against the ship, until I dozed off and had another weird dream that was filled with gigantic sea monsters. Some wanted to chat, and others wanted to devour me. The clang of a dinner bell woke me. I glanced out of the porthole and saw that the rain had stopped. Relieved…

“We found it!” yelled Miguel as the boat sailed into El Dorado. “Finally! After months and months of sailing we finally found the famous-for-it’s-gold- El Dorado!” I cried leaping off the boat.
