"Cat..." Katie said, worriedly.

Cat shook his head.

"In that case, just bring it back. I don't want to hang around here.

We'll get it fixed in Panama." "Right," Denny said.

Jinx spoke up.

"Say, Mom and I want to get cleaned up.

Is there a shower around here?"

"Yep, over behind that building there. No hot water, but around here the
water doesn't get very cold. Lock the door, it's coed."

"Maybe I'd better go with you," Cat said.

"What do you think, Denny?"

"It's okay," Denny replied.

"Safe enough; I wouldn't worry." He climbed into the cockpit with the
alternator.

Cat followed him up and glanced around the cockpit.

"Katie," he called below, "did you take the binoculars down with you?"

"Nope," she called back.

"They were in the cockpit a few minutes ago."

Cat looked around the cockpit and on deck in vain.

Denny stood by, nodding slowly.

"Welcome to Colommr. Catledge," he said sorrowfully.

"First thing you have to learn is never leave anything lying around.

Tell me, did you used to have a spinnaker pole?"

Cat looked at the foredeck and was greeted by the sight of empty chocks.

"I don't believe it," he said, "I wasn't gone five minutes and Katie was
on the boat the whole time."
