DEAD IN THE WATER

Ithnan Nickelson seeks high adventure sailing his yacht on the Tasman Sea. If his voyage meets with success he'll circumnavigate the globe. But it's a large if. He needs a crew to sail from New Zealand to Australia. He'll find young people with a yen for adventure preferably women. Colleen Georgina and Philip each puts a desire for escape and adventure above better judgment. They didn't know there was no auxiliary engine safety and communication equipment maps of the sea proper steerage and seaworthiness certification. Or that It had a captain Ithnan who had never sailed the open sea by himself. Each trusts the skipper for safe delivery to Sydney. All look forward to a relaxing sojourn that might take two weeks. Both the law and a drug lord are looking for Ithnan. Drugs and untaxed gold fill secret compartments in the yacht. If he doesn't deliver he'll be hiding the rest of his life. If the law catches him first who knows?
