Bahamian Affair

This story depicts a tragic infliction on a young man's life when his parents were killed in an automobile accident and his attempt to cope with the total loss of his family.

The young man's reaction to this dilemma was to sell the home he had inherited and to purchase a large sailboat, which he singularly sailed to the Bahamas for the purpose of starting a new life for himself within a new environment. He lived aboard his sailboat near a small island within the Bahamas island chain, where his sadness slowly ebbed and eventually dissipated.

The story also relates to the many island friends James Patterson made while living in the area and the physical relationships he shared with some of the native females of the island, including meeting a brash female tourist from New York City who was visiting the island at the time.

The adventure also includes his detailed physical relations with the brash city girl from the Big Apple that eventually led to love after finding and excavating a small fortune in gold coins aboard an old Spanish galleon wreck, which sank in that vicinity many years ago.

Their find, in conjunction with their torrid sexual escapades throughout the area, eventually formed a trusting bond and mutual respect for each other.

The funds from the sale of the Spanish coins allowed them to purchase a new and larger sailboat, which they kept in the Bahamas, and also allowed them to purchase an expensive apartment overlooking the Hudson River in New York City.
They also initiated and formed a distinguished restaurant in the Soho district of New York, where it became viable over a period of time, and eventually, James and Sarah sold it for a great profit.
Their thirst for new challenges and adventures seemed to be endless.
