    Broken Voyagers

    For the first time in a long time, her neat writing was not swallowed by Tina’s artistic swirls and drawings but simply showed how the dive had progressed, what she had seen and especially not seen and of course, omitting her brush with drowning.

    She headed for her little den, settling against the cool leather of her office chair, setting on the table a number of leather-bound reference books and a carefully rolled world map.

    Maybe a step back was required to look at what she did know about those wrecks and make a list of what she needed to find out. The Estonian Steamer, she had just dived was a passenger ship and did not even carry any valuable cargo. That much she knew now. Maybe there was some kind of pattern amongst the remaining sites.

    She grabbed a writing pad and an HB pencil and started work.

    *****

    Sail, keel and compass, all appeared in her fathers’ riddle but judging by the list she had just completed, not ALL the ships had all three.

    NAME                                    DATE                         SAIL               COMPASS

    Antikythera                            70/80BCE                  YES                NO

    Oseberg                                 815/820CE                YES                NO

    Makeshift                               1592                           YES                YES

    Avondster                              1659                           YES                YES

    HMS Association                 1707                           YES                YES

    Whydah                                 1717                           YES                YES

    SS Central America             1857                           YES                YES

    Yongola                                 1911                           NO                  YES

    Stella                                      1930                           YES                YES

    Vironia                                   1941                           NO                  YES

    HMS Edinburgh                   1942                           NO                  YES

     

    Evidently all ships had keels and Bette did not bother adding a further column to reference this particular point.

    She sighed at the books strewn across her table top, she had worked non-stop for a couple of hours. Standing she headed for the kitchen. A cup of tea would help with keeping her mind alert.

    As the water started heating on the stove, she leant back against one of the kitchen counters crossing her legs at the ankles and thought of the list she had drawn.

    Had her father dived on all the wrecks? Surely given the location of some he may not have had the opportunity.

    Was the order the ships were listed of any importance? If it wasn’t by location or size or name, then maybe it was in the order Melvin had visited them?

    Maybe how the ships had sunk was important too? Bette carried on thinking as she returned with a steaming mug of Earl Grey tea.

    1. Hi! You one of my favourite writers and i very glad and happy that you returned and finished this amazing story! Thank you very much!
      After i reading i leave another comment which will be more about story plot.

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. 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!”

    6. 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!

    7. 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 ;)

    8. 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.
