    About this ebook

    If you don’t know you’re committing a crime, are you innocent?

    All Ben Beck wants is to start over with a new opportunity. So when a millionaire business man offers him a position as a crew member on his yacht, Ben decides to throw himself in the middle of the ocean with a confusing group of strangers.
    So what if he’s never sailed before, the job opportunities in his home town didn’t offer Hawaii and Tahiti. How could he pass up an offer that did?

    Sailing to exotic locales as a crew member of the luxury yacht, Aurawind, and catering to rich clients, willing to pay for a taste of Polynesia, sounded like a dream job, an unexpected windfall experience.

    The gleam of sailing on a shining new yacht to the sun of the southern seas blinds his view of what lies ahead.

    Not all the members of the operation carry the same glossy hope for the venture. The captain thinks Ben is going to be too much to handle, the other sailor in the crew gives Ben the creeps. After a confusing start to the journey, loaded with misinformation, Ben can’t help but wonder if the other members of his crew are friends or enemies. Maybe it’s time Ben had second thoughts.
    No level of smooth sailing could prepare him for being attacked or having a gun pointed in his direction. From the idyllic life of charter sailing and Polynesian island hopping, to a life and death struggle on a tilting yacht deck at night, Ben navigates in hopes of salvaging his dream.

    Will the crew, the sea, or the wind shred Ben’s canvas?

    Mitch Davies

    Mitch Davies was born in Canada and spent 40 years there before moving to the desert of Arizona. He is a true child of the media having grown up with a father who worked his entire career in the film industry. The house he grew up in had a television on from the time he woke up until he went to bed. The influence of stories, whether real or made up, was always present. Due to this exposure, Mitch viewed most of life's occurrences as scenes for a story. The results are visible in the pages of his books and he hopes you will enjoy them. If you already have, he thanks you.

      Ben was out of work and checked the want ads daily. A promising, exciting job on a boat was listed one day...no sailor experience necessary....a little suspicious. He went for the interview and was hired for the position. After being with the owner and two of the employees, he was second guessing his decision because of their demeanor, but sailing for a year and getting a share of the boat's selling price kept him interested. Once he started the job, the boating experience was overwhelming because he didn't have any knowledge of nautical terms, but Ben learned quickly. He enjoyed most of the traveling especially when they stopped at the ports and tended to the wealthy guests. One disadvantage for Ben was that two of the crew members were not very interesting or pleasant.The crew was heading to Honolulu and then sailing around the South Pacific for a year...not a bad job at all, but Ben was still uneasy about how things were being handled. Day tours seemed to be the order of the day while they waited for Carl, the owner, to return. The daily lives of the island people as well as the routine of being on the boat made up most of the book's plot along with the tension among the characters. The characters, landscapes, and scenes were very well described and allowed the reader to vividly experience how the characters felt and what the landscape and surroundings truly looked like.The book is a sailing person's dream....a lot of seafaring terms and fun details for folks who enjoy being on board a ship/boat. The beautiful landscape of Tahiti was also well described, along with some mystery and, of course, romance. The mystery was trying to determine what the real motive of the ship’s owner was. He wasn’t around too often and didn’t really check on the crew. I enjoyed the book and especially the feeling of being there on the beautiful island of Tahiti....it was a "book" vacation.
