Broken Voyagers
An astrolabe was a circular object, about the size of a small plate, roughly 6 inches across. It hung upright from a small ring at its top but all too often, as it was placed on the deck of a rocking ship it was almost impossible to keep the instrument steady despite its hollowed-out plate to stop it from blowing about in strong wind. A rotating alidade spun around from its centre. The sighting device would be lined up with a chosen star or the sun and the pointer on the alidade would with the help of an engraved scale in degrees on the perimeter of the instrument provide the mariner with a reading of the height of chosen star or sun.
“No,” Bette let out in a frustrated voice. “This is all guess work. We know the treasure is on one of the wrecks on the list. They are all well documented, finding their position is not what is at stake here. Navigation has no bearing in our search.”
Bette plopped on the bed with a heavy sigh. “I feel stuck. I thought I had covered every angle but it still hasn’t got us anywhere. Maybe we have been a little too quick and we missed something on one of our earlier dives.”
“Bette,” Tina soothed placing her hand on the brunette’s bicep, “I doubt it, we have been through each one with a fine comb.”
“Maybe we should think about what sort of treasure we are looking for. The letter did say treasure. And treasure there was on many of those wrecks. In fact, the deeper they are, the more gold there is…”
Bette covered her face with both her hands remaining silent for a moment. She was going through each dive in her mind. Searching for clues she may have missed or anything obvious which she had been blind too.
“I have even started dreaming of gold bars, coins and goblets!” Her voice came muffled through her fingers. “And Oh, my God!” Bette exclaimed sitting straight up on the bed, “We have overlooked the ‘Oseberg’!!”

Harry looked at her longingly.
He had been on the island just over a day now. Remaining out of sight as best he could on the tiny islet. He hadn’t been a mean feat either. The island sported a very closed knit community where news travelled quickly, and his presence could be detected equally as rapidly. His sister had told him to make contact immediately but the events which had unfolded after his arrival had made him rethink his strategy.

Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
A great read.Loved the shark sequence.Found it quite thrilling.
