One summer day
It was a fine summer day when Captain Cherif an
old sea wolf considered going out with his boat named the "African Queen" .
So
very early in the morning he started cruising at large in Hurgada bay in the Red
Sea.
It was not before a long time when he
heard on the local news that his good friends Adel And Mervat who sailed the
same morning on the speed boat named MIMA before him this same morning were
shipwrecked on one of the many islands of the Red sea. Adel
and Mervat radio was broken before they could spell the name of the
island.
After a couple of hours cruising and searching the
surrounding islands in the area , Cherif could not find his friends anywhere .He
kept calling on his Radio the name of their boat "Mima Mima.....Can you hear me????"...
But nobody answered ..
Time was running fast the day was approaching to its end , the
sun was becoming fainter and the wind and the waves were building up.
Captain Cherif
was starting to worry , the sea was becoming rougher and rougher ..The
Sharks
were getting more hungry The clouds
were gathering and they were becoming darker announcing a big storm.
Cherif , as a last hope , headed with his boat the "AFRICAN QUEEN" to a hidden
and isolated island called ABU
MONKAR .It was an island known to be a refuge of pirates and
smugglers .
After a strong and diffcult
fight with the wind and the waves Cherif reached the island and to his great
relief , he found his friends standing there ...beaten by the sun and the
heat.They looked lost and stunned.
Adel & Mervat standing waiting
for Cherif's rescue
Cherif approached them and told them to
get ready to go back to shore but Adel and Mervat surprised him by saying that
they were very happy here and that they did not want to return to shore ever
again.!!!!
Cherif was astonished and asked what on earth are you saying are
you loosing your minds or something ???
NO!! said the couple we have decided
to stay here forever because we have found ourselves a new boat .
Adel and Mervat revealing to Cherif that they
will not go back with him .
Cherif looked at the boat it was indeed a beautiful
boat a SEA RAY it was equiped with all the modern and necessary navigating
accessories (fish finder and GPS) that one can dream of

decision ?? asked Cherif
