180 Degree Turn #2 of 2

by

Five and a half were taking the ferry to Corfu for their homebound flight. As it happened, it was the last ferry for days. The weather had turned... 180 degrees. The little boat didn’t turn though, driving straight into a fantastic electric storm, attacked by the furious sea, rocking and rolling, pitching and tossing. He watched the captain fighting to keep control... and his course. In vain it seemed.

The realisation hit hard. With disaster lurking, whom to save? His new bride plus unborn, his 4yr old son, his mother, his father?

A choice he didn’t have to make. Fortunately.

    Thanks Drew. It was apparently very scary indeed, but neither my daughter or the little feller were spooked at all, but then she’s always loved the scariest rides at theme parks...

    Thanks Frenchie. Fortunately my wife and I knew nothing of it until we collected them all from the airport. Gulp!
