It was early summer and I would need to take my vacation before those of my colleagues with families. My destination for this holiday was a sailing school based in an old converted Mersey ferry, moored permanently in the Salcombe River estuary.
I was there for a sanity check on my progress since last year. So, no single-handed dinghy sailing, but assisted by an Instructor, assessing my capabilities. I was paired with Sue, eighteen and fit, long curly dark hair, sparkly blue eyes and a really neat figure which she'd been displaying the previous evening in the ship's bar. She watched as I rigged the Scorpion dinghy, making sure that I'd fastened all the important ropes in the right way. It's embarrassing if your mainsheet runs out of its blocks and leaves you "engineless" just because you've left a stopping knot undone.
Assured that I had succeeded in rigging the boat Sue stepped into the Scorp, trailing a tantalizing waft of Diorella. I mentally raised an eyebrow - most sailors don't get scented up and then step into oilskins!
"Nice perfume," I said, as I followed her into Scorp's hull, taking the tiller.
She looked up at me and smiled a slow grin. I paused for a couple of seconds.
"Right, Sue, cast off please and back the jib!"
I pulled in the mainsheet and we started moving through the water.
"OK, Sue, release the jib and sheet in on the leeward side, please!"
The dinghy then jumped eagerly forward, I sat down on the side bench and set course for Frogmoor Creek, and Sue stretched out, tossing her hair in the breeze, running the fingers of one slender hand through the tresses to take them out of her eyes. She looked back at me and smiled enigmatically.
There wasn't a great deal of wind; just enough to keep us moving steadily through the Kingsbridge Estuary towards Frogmoor.
The sun was warm on our backs as we made our way towards the creek, and Sue set about removing her waterproof jacket. I thought she made a bit of a show of straightening her back and thrusting her breasts forward as she wriggled her arms out the jacket sleeves. But, whatever, the unveiling was entertaining and despite the fact that she was climbing out of unsexy sailing gear, somewhat sensuous.
She dropped the jacket into the bottom of the Scorp, then started to remove the sailing boots, followed by the trousers. When she'd finished she turned to me, looked me straight in the eyes and said "You're thirty five and, no doubt, experienced. My boyfriend at home is twenty and a virgin. Problem is, so am I! I want you to sort that out for me. Now! Just run the boat ashore, tip it on its side so it's not obviously here, and then take me in that field above the water. Show me what it's really like! Show me everything you know, and tell me your dirty fantasies at the same time!"
It was difficult to steer the boat and take in the sight of a lithe, tanned, curvy lady with very twinkly eyes, sitting on the gunwhale in just an athletic vest and silky running shorts, a good yard of smooth leg on each side of her magnetic body.
And it was all on offer. To me. Now. She lowered one side of the vest so that I could clearly see her pert, port nipple. She rubbed it with her thumb, licked her top lip, then swung away from me and pointed out a small inlet on the riverside.
"There! Turn in there!"
She stood in the front of the dinghy, already lowering the mainsail. The boat slowed, I pulled up the centreboard and we stepped out into about fifteen inches of salt water. I pulled the boat over, and followed this horny little lady up the side of the overlooking hill.
I walked behind her for perhaps fifty yards into the meadow-like field admiring the fact that nothing on her body rippled or jiggled. No excess, just ace athletic flesh. She looked around.
"I can't see the river, so they can't see us," she said as she slipped off her vest and slid her running shorts down past her ankles, sitting, then lying down in the grass, completely naked, with her arms aloft, beckoning me into position.
I knelt on the grass beside her, my eyes sucking in the sight; long legs, short body, shapely, and nipples on firm breasts.
