6 Signs You Need to Repair Your Boat
Whether your boat is a recreational vessel or a commercial fishing boat, it must be properly maintained to stay afloat. Unfortunately, even with proper maintenance, boats sometimes need repairs. Here are six signs that you need a boat repair service.
Tumblr media
1. Overheating
One of the most common problems reported is the overheating of the boat. Usually, your boat uses water surrounding it to cool its engine via a pump. However, when a part of the system fails, the engine’s temperature will rise, resulting in overheating. Consequently, overheating can be caused by a build-up of dust, dirt, and debris in the cooling passages. It can also be caused by a leaking coolant system or a faulty thermostat. You need all points marine services to determine the exact cause.
2. The Boat Fails to Start
If your boat fails to start, it likely needs to be repaired. There are several reasons a boat might not start, but the most common cause is a problem with the battery. If the battery is dead, it may need to be replaced. If the terminals are corroded, they will need to be cleaned. There could also be a problem with the wiring or the fuel system.
3. Water Leaks
Water leaks are an early sign that something is wrong with your boat. If you notice water pooled in the bilge, on the deck, or in other areas of the boat, it's a good idea to have all points marine services take a look. Sometimes, water leaks can be caused by simple things like loose fittings or cracked seals. However, they can also indicate serious problems, such as hull damage. Get boat maintenance services to avoid critical situations like sinking the boat. 
4. You Feel Intense Vibrations
As a boat owner, pay attention to the boat's hull and engine. If you start to feel intense vibrations coming from either of these areas, it's a sign that something is wrong. Seek boat maintenance and repair services as soon as possible. These vibrations can also be caused by anything from a loose propeller resulting from debris or dirt to an issue with the boat's stern.
5. Steering Problems
One common sign is difficulty steering in a straight line. This can be caused by worn or damaged steering cables, fittings, and brackets. Another sign is unusually high steering wheel resistance. This can indicate that the boat's rudder is out of alignment, which can create serious handling issues. Boat owners who notice any of these should get boat maintenance services completed as soon as possible. 
6. Broken Drive Belt
A broken drive belt is one of the signs that you need boat maintenance. The drive belt is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the boat's accessories, such as the water pump, alternator, and air conditioning compressor. If the drive belt breaks, it can cause the boat to lose power and stall. You will also note increased temperatures and the failure of the alternator to charge.
If you experience any of these issues with your boat, it's time to contact APB. By getting regular maintenance and repairs, you can prolong the life of your boat and ensure that it runs smoothly for years to come.

Below Deck - [P.G.]
Tumblr media
Gif credit to @/merrymissesmaxiel 
Synopsis: You’re a chief stewardess on a large yacht where Pierre and his friends spend a three-day charter. As you’re the chief stew, he has a reason to keep you around all the time and tell you everything he prefers. Below deck med vibes 100%.
WARNINGS: NSFW CONTENT (18+) - unprotected sex, oral (f & m receiving), fingering, squirting. This is fiction and is not supposed to be taken as educational.
“Could Y/N, the chef, and the bosun please meet me in the crew mess for a preference sheet meeting?” The captain sounded over the radio, and you quickly copied, finishing the wiping of the table and heading downstairs to the crew mess. You shuffled into the boot, picking up the stapled papers. The chef and the bosun of the yacht joined soon after. “Alright, our new charter guests are a group of racing drivers from Europe. The primary’s name is Pierre Gasly, and he has taken four friends on this charter to escape the business of the Formula 1 paddock in the summer break of the 2022 season,” the captain summarized. “They look high-maintenance,” the chef muttered, his eyes skipping over the preferences of the guests with the food section. “They look quite alright,” you said, you had definitely seen more specific requests or the weirdest food requests. “Because they are athletes, they want fresh and healthy meals, filling portions. They’d like to work out on the boat and have all the water toys available all day. The primary requests a trip to the old town of Dubrovnik on day two, and a gala themed dinner that night,” you read out loud. “Well, let’s get to work,” the bosun replies. 
You were working in the interior of the yacht, and you made sure everything would look perfect by the time the guests were arriving. You and your two stewardesses had about four hours left. “So, who will be our new guests?” Your second stew asked while she was cleaning the windows in the lounge. “A Formula 1 driver and his racing driver friends, apparently,” you replied, putting your earpiece in again to be on standby for whoever needed you. “That better be a nice fucking tip,” she sighed, and you agreed. The mood in the yacht was a bit down, as the guests who left yesterday, after a four-day charter, were very demanding and complained a lot, and then left a shitty tip while everyone had worked so hard to meet their wishes. After cleaning, you went down to inspect the cabins, and the third stew had done them perfectly. Everything was in order for the guests to arrive. Everyone changed into their white, formal outfits to welcome them. You got the cold towels and the glasses of champagne ready, putting them on the table of the bridge deck. Lining up on the dock, the guests already arrived. 
“Good afternoon, and welcome on board of the Wellington. I’m your captain,” the captain introduced herself, shaking Pierre’s hand. “Nice to meet you, captain,” a smile showed up on his face that made you swallow hard. He stood in front of you next, his hand shaking yours. You introduced yourself with a kind smile, and he leaned forward to kiss your cheek. You hid your flusteredness as the other guests introduced themselves as well. “My chief stewardess, Y/N, will show you around, and a soon as your luggage is onboard, we’re off to our first anchorage,” the captain said. “Take your shoes off and follow me, please,” you smiled, stepping aboard of the yacht again, while the group of drivers followed you. The second and third stews handed out the champagne and the cold towels. “This is the main lounge of the yacht, with a dining room on the left. As the weather is beautiful, you will be having dinner outside on the bridge deck,” you told them. “It’s a gorgeous yacht,” Pierre speaks up. “For sure,” you reply, then taking them upstairs to the sun deck. “This is my favourite spot on the yacht. We have some room for work-outs here, and if you go down to the swim platform, all the water toys will be available for you,” you continued. “Do you spend a lot of time here?” Pierre asked, sipping on his champagne.
“Unfortunately not,” you laugh. “I’m running around all day, pleasing guests,” you add. “That sounds good,” he says, chuckling as your cheeks dust a little pink. “Let me take you to your cabins,” you clear your throat, hearing the guys speak in French to each other while walking down the stairs again. “This is the master,” you say, opening the door. “We have a bathtub on board, all marble,” you continue. “This is where the yacht magic happens,” Norman Nato says. “All the cleaning magic for sure,” you add, making them laugh. You show them the other cabins, and they can decide for themselves where they want to sleep, but Pierre has taken the master cabin as he’s the primary guests. You guided them back up to the sun deck. “We can unpack your suitcases if you prefer,” you started. “No, it’s fine, we can do that ourselves,” Pierre says, sitting down against the cushions of the lounger, the other guys take some pictures as the yacht is already moving to its first anchorage. “Alright, perfect. We can do lunch at 2:30 p.m.?” You suggest. “Yes, great,” Pierre smiles at you. “Can I get you anything else?” you ask, hoping your face isn’t heating up under the stare of his crystal eyes. 
“We’re fine at the moment, thank you so much,” he says, and you nod, rushing to get downstairs again. You update the chef about the lunchtime, so he can start preparing. The yacht soon reached its first anchorage, offering a beautiful view upon Dubrovnik. You made your way up to the deck again, checking up on the guests to see if they needed anything. “Y/N, are we allowed to go into the water now?” Pierre asked as soon as he saw you, the others were laying back on the cushions, some sill sipping on their champagne. “How polite as the primary,” you smiled, appreciating his tone. “Well, I can jump in, but if I’m not meant to, you’re probably going to be mad at me,” Pierre grinned, pushing a hand in the pockets of his white, linen pants, enjoying making you giggle. “No, you’re allowed. I’m sure the deck crew already has the jet ski’s out. You’re free to go down the platform, if you want to,” you said. “That sounds good. Are you joining?” Pierre shamelessly flirts. “Unfortunately, the water toys are not my specialty. How I about I keep serving drinks?” you reply. “If you insist,” Pierre gnawed at his lower lip. “Could you bring us a couple of bottles of water?” he asked. “Of course,” you nodded, turning around to get to the bar, kneeling to open the fridge and take five bottle of water out.
You put them on a plate to bring them over. They were easy going so far, and polite. Each of Pierre’s friends were nice to you so far. They handed you the champagne glasses, and you left them with the water. Not much later, the sun deck was empty, and you guessed they were in their cabins to get changed. You remained in the upper salon to make sure the bottles of liquor were restocked, and you could mix their drinks whenever they came back from being in the water. Your second and third stew were on their lunch breaks now, and the second stew would be on service with you, while the other would do the laundry in the pantry downstairs. The sounds of the jet-ski’s and other motorized water sport toys were audible, and you walked onto the sun deck to take a quick look at what they were doing. Three of the five were already in the water, and Pierre stood on the swim platform, listening to the bosun giving some instructions about staying close to the yacht and away from the shore. He looked as athletic as you thought he would be. His abs were mouthwatering, his biceps looking strong and firm, and his broad shoulders and neck were making you let out a dreamy sigh. You were quick to return to work, and set up the table for their lunch.
About an hour later, the lunch was ready to be plated, and the guys were just coming out of the water. Your service outfit existed of a crew shirt with a short skirt, a pair of flats. Your hair was up in a hair clip, a few strands framing your face. You moved around the table to pour in their glasses of water, serving some of them a glass of wine. “Did you enjoy being in the water?” you asked. “Yes, it was great,” one of Pierre’s friends replied, his name was Nadri, if your brain paid attention after Pierre introduced himself. “Great, you can go back down there after lunch as long as you want,” you said, before heading back inside and to the galley. The second stew picked up two plates, and you carried three to make sure you could serve everyone in one walk. “So, for your lunch we have a grilled sea bass served on a bed of mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus dusted with a bit of Croatian sea salt,” you announced after putting the plates down. “For your sides, we will bring you a mixed vegetable salad and extra mashed potato,” you continued. “I wish I could have you serving all my meals, it sounds like poetry if you describe it,” Pierre looked up at you with a cheeky smile, leaning back in his seat, still shirtless, his hair still wet. 
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” you smiled, getting back inside to get the salad. “I think he fancies you,” your second stew whispered while you both walked inside again. “Shut up,” you said, giggling a little. “He’s hot, though,” you say. It would not be professional to cross the line of being nice and flirting with the guests, but Pierre was making it really hard for you. And he had been on the yacht for just three hours. You brought the salad and the mashed potatoes, asking if they needed anything else, and you made your way inside to leave them alone. After the lunch, you and your second stew cleared the table, while the guests went out to the sun deck to have a lazy hour in the sun. The weather was truly incredible, which made the work for the deck crew and the interior easier. If the weather would be bad, that meant they were relying on the interior and the chef, and in the worst case, the yacht would have to return to the port. But that wasn’t the case, which meant you could enjoy a shirtless Pierre Gasly for a little longer. “Hi guys,” you greeted them when stepping onto the sun deck. “Can I bring anyone a drink?” you asked. 
Three of them wanted a bloody mary, one just a glass of red wine, and Pierre asked for a vodka martini. You went to the bar to get their drinks done, and you nearly jumped when you turned around and saw Pierre standing at the bar. “I didn’t expect you here,” you laughed, brushing the few strands out of your face. “Can I do something for you?” you asked. “No, I’m fine. Just curious for your bartending magic,” he bares his teeth with another smile that makes your stomach do backflips in your body. “Well, I don’t want to brag, but I passed the barista course with straigth A’s,” you reply, sending a flirty smile back while shaking the mixer for the bloody marries, pouring it into three glasses with some ice. “I didn’t expect anything else,” Pierre grins, leaning his elbows on the counter. “Have you been to Croatia before?” you ask. “I haven’t, my career is quite demanding. I enjoy being at home,” he said, and you remember that he’s an F1 driver, he must be away from home nearly all the time. “What about you?” Pierre asked. “Oh, I worked nearly all the charters of my yachting career here at the Adriatic coast,” you say. “It’s a lovely area, and the food and culture here is great,” you add. “You have a lot of experience then?” he assumed.
“Six years and counting,” you proudly say, and he took his vodka martini you just mixed and poured in a glass. “I have some experience in keeping guests happy,” you say, putting the other glasses on a serving tray. “I can tell,” Pierre says, the accent laced in his words would make you crumble under his eyes, but you were professional. And not flirting with the guests. Pierre joined you when going outside, and you carefully kneeled on the cushions of the large lounging area to hand them their drinks. “At what time would you prefer to have dinner?” you asked, getting up when everyone had their drinks. “8:30-ish?” One of them suggested, the others confirming with a nod. “Alright, perfect,” you smiled. “Thank you, Y/N,” Pierre said, and you fought the urge to moan back at the way he ponounced your name, but you just smiled at him and went back inside. You had a break now, your second stew checked up on the guests and made sure they were all set. You heard over your radio that they went to work out, and the deck crew would be paying attention. You had some time to discuss the menu with the chef and think about the table decorating, and do some calls for the tour through Dubrovink old town tomorrow. They also wanted a gala themed dinner tomorrow night, and would send a stew tomorrow to get some more decorations for that. 
“I’m going down to the cabins, one of the guests asked if I could steam some clothing. Can you bring up some iced water?” your radio went, and you quickly finished your late lunch before heading upstairs. You filled a jug with icecubes and poured water over it, letting it sit for a minute while you cut some lime and cucumber, putting it in. You prepared yourself mentally, knowing they were good looking guys and now working out on the sun deck, probably shirtless. You took a serving tray with the jug and some glasses, easily hopping up the stairs. Pierre was on the tread mill, his skin glistening with sweat. You tried not to stare at his back muscles rippling under his skin with each move he made, but he caught your eyes when he turned his head and immediately slowed down the speed. “Hey, you’re back,” he smiled, choosing to either ignore or didn’t notice the look in your eyes. “I got you some iced water,” you said, putting the tray down on the small table. “I wanted to discuss something,” Pierre said, getting off the tread mill and taking a glass, which made you reach for the jug the same time as he did. You briefly looked at each other before he let you pour the water in his glass. “You wanted to discuss...?” you asked, and he stepped towards the balustrade of the deck, leaning against it. 
“Tomorrow we are going on this trip to Dubrovnik, right?” He asked, making you nod. “Can I request you come along? I am sure you have the most knowledge about the town,” Pierre said. “I asked one of my stews and a deckie to come along, they haven’t been off the boat since our charter season started,” you said, and he took a step forward. “Then you promise them they can go off the boat next time,” he said, squeezing your shoulder. The move made you burn up from the inside, and you laughed. “You should have put it on your preference sheet before you came onboard,” you reply teasingly. “How could I know there is such a lovely chief stew?” Pierre replied, leaning his elbow on the balustrade as he came even closer. “Alright, I’ll join you and have one of the deck crew for the tour tomorrow,” you gave in. “Amazing. I was also thinking we could do a lunch there. Is there a nice view point somewhere?” Pierre asked. “Yes, there is. Would you like us to set up lunch there or have me make a reservation at a restaurant?” you asked. “If you could set it all up, that would be perfect. The lunch was amazing. I trust the chef to get more outstanding meals out of that kitchen,” Pierre said. “Got it,” you replied. “I will make sure everything is as you wish,” you reply. “I’m sure you will,” he flirts. 
You shot him a smile before heading inside, and his eyes drift over the flirty ends of your little skirt as you move around the corner. “Bro, you have to make it less obvious,” Nadri says, having a glass of the iced water you brought. “What? She’s nice, pretty,” Pierre shrugged. “You can’t put her job in jeopardy,” Nadri chuckled, he had seen the way his friend was flirting with the chief stew, and he had made some comments about how hot you were to his friends already. “I’m not, I’m staying within the lines. Besides, she flirts back,” Pierre defended. “I’d laugh my ass off if she’s just being nice. I mean, she’s used to flirty charter guests,” Nadri chuckled, making Pierre roll his eyes at his friend, nevertheless with a grin. They continued working out and being in the water till they all went into their cabins to get showered and dressed for dinner. You and your stews set up the table for the dinner, while the chef was already busy to prepare dinner. You kept your eyes on the set table, seeing a couple of them seated already. You told the chef to start plating when everyone was seated, and your water and wine service was finished. Each of the stews were dressed into the evening service dresses, and your hair was now braided down your back. 
You had felt quite relaxed this afternoon, they weren’t too demanding and they weren’t picky or anything. You hoped they wouldn’t stay up too late, but seeing they were sporty, you hoped they were appreciating sleep and went to bed early, because that means you can get more hours in as well. You walked back to the galley and took three plates to serve the starter. The dinner service is as easy as the lunch, and they are happy with the meals. The drinks are flowing nicely, and you see them all loosening up even more. One of them request to have some music playing, and Pierre gets his phone connect to one of the speakers. Soon, Spanish music blasted across the deck, and it got the whole dinner service more swinging. You hadn’t been stiff with them, but even you felt more relaxed, easily twirling around the table and refilling glasses or serving new mixed drinks. They were all enjoying it, and it made everyone on service act along, because the better their experience, the better the payday at the end of the charter. You took away the plates from the desert when the guests were up from the table, standing on the deck. “Can’t you join us for a little party?” One of them asked, meaning the whole crew. “Some of us are already in bed,” you replied. “But you aren’t, and C/N either,” Nadri said. “Bring the bottle of rosé and we’re good for a while, you’ll have time to dance with us,” he said. “Fine,” you gave in with a smile.
You refilled their glasses with rosé, and you put the bottle back in the fridge. The deck crew who weren’t on anchor watch also joined, making everyone laugh with the worst dance moves. Pierre took your hand to spin you around, pulling you to his chest then. “Is this okay?” he asked, his hot breath ghosting over your face. “It’s alright,” you replied, not sure where to place your hands, but it would look too awkward to leave them by your sides, so you just rested them on his shoulders. “The dinner was amazing,” he told you. “I’m glad to hear so,” you replied, looking at the others who weren’t watching you at all. It made you relax a little more, your skin heating up under your team dress as his hand drifted down to your lower back, holding you close. Your hips were basically grinding together on the filthy, Spanish music that was blasting through the speakers. If you were in a club, you would have smashed your lips on his already, but you were just doing your job and he was just a guests on the yacht. “Is this made for you?” Pierre asked, tugging gently on the material of your black dress. “No, it’s not,” you laugh. “It looks like it though, you look gorgeous in it,” he flirts. “It’s just working clothes,” you reply, looking up at him. 
Pierre looks incredibly good with the dark blue button up that is slightly undone, a golden cross necklace hanging down his neck. “So, you’re saying you’re even more beautiful in anything else?” he teases, grinning as your cheeks heat up. “That’s what you’re implying,” you reply. “I have to get back to work,” you say then, a smile on your lips as he’s so hot and adorable at the same time. The way he looks at you makes you want to drop to your knees and unbuckle his belt, but the way he speaks to you with delicasy makes your heart palpitate faster. “I understand,” Pierre said, and you gasped softly when he pulled you even closer, his other arm curling around you for a gentle embrace. “I look forward to tomorrow,” he said when withdrawing from you, stepping back to give you your space. “Goodnight, Pierre,” you smiled, taking his empty glass to get back inside. The others went back to work soon after as well, but they already turned down the music and had a last drink before all the guests slowly seeped into their cabins. You were glad the party was over, it was past midnight, and you could quickly clean up and prepare some things for the breakfast service before heading down too. 
        Because you had the late shift, your second and third stew got the breakfast service shift. You woke up around nine, you showered, got dressed and some of the breakfast left overs before heading down to the cabins. You checked with the stews if everyone was up at the table our out in the water, so you could change the sheets and clean the cabins without disturbing them. You hummed a song that was stuck in your head since last night, folding the sheets of the bed and tucking them in. You cleaned the bathroom, replaced the bags in the bins, and folded clean towels into the racks. You entered the master cabin, and you thought you heard someone walking around. “Is anyone here?” You asked, not sure if you just imagined it or if it was outside, as the windows were opened. You didn’t get a response, so you just continued your work. The bed of the master cabin was larger, and mattress cover was quite tight. You huffed while stretching it across, hoping the other end wouldn’t flip back. “I missed you during breakfast this morning,” you suddenly heard, making you shriek and nearly stumble over your own feet. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry. I thought you were still at breakfast, I wouldn’t have come in if I knew you were here,” you rambled, your cheeks turning bright red. 
You swallowed hard as Pierre stood in front of you, just a towel around his hips, his abs begging for your eyes on them, his hair messy and still dripping, the view droplets of water on his chest making you fight the urge to lick them right off. “No worries, it’s alright. I could have mentioned to your colleagues that I went to shower. It’s not your fault,” he assured you. “Okay,” you huffed, wiping your forehead with the back of your hand, not aware you were sweating till now. “I will get out and come back in when you’re out,” you said, a small laugh escaping your mouth. “No, it’s fine, continue, I will get dressed in the bathroom and not disturb you,” Pierre said, reaching for some shorts and beige button-up from the closet. “Normally it’s the other way around, you know?” you chuckled, biting at your bottom lip while reaching for the clean sheets, putting them around the duvet. “I’m easy going,” he grinned, disappearing into the bathroom. You took a deep breath to calm down your raging heart beat, and did an attempt to stop your panties from getting wet, but holy shit, this man is so hot, effortlessly. You shook it off, hurrying to tuck the sheets in and fold the edge, putting the pillows back on. You wiped down the nightstands, the marble counter, not daring move any closer to the door of the bathroom. You took your cleaning stuff and walked out without a word, closing the door behind you, feeling like you could finally breathe.
There was this tension between you and the primary charter guest that made you want to sin in all unholy ways possible. It’s like he didn’t even try to hide that he was flirting with you, and who showers after breakfast, on a yacht? You put the cleaning stuff away, making your way to your cabin to freshen up a little. You had to head up to the galley to speak through the preparation of the view point picknick in Dubrovnik, which meant that the chef had to prepare a lot of plates, and the timing of bringing the food there had to be perfect, because not everything could be plated for a long time. You set up the coolers already, and gave some instructions to your crew, while the bosun did the same for her crew, who were setting up the picknick table, parasols, and bringing it up there. You looked forward to be off the boat for half a day, and as you loved Dubrovnik, you liked to be the tour guide of the day. The tender was ready next to the yacht, and you updated the stews quickly that only the bathroom in the master cabin had to be cleaned, because you were interupted due to obvious reasons. The guests were brought ashore by the tender, and you and a deckhand followed to guide them through the town. Dubrovnik is truly gorgeous, and you were sure they were going to like it. 
You didn’t think they’d love a cultural trip, but all of the guys were taking pictures and actually listening to what you were telling about the buildings and some streets and restaurants. They even wanted to take a picture with you and the deckie who guided the trip, asking someone else to take the picture. You squeezed in between Pierre and one of his friends, his arm wrapping around your waist and pulling you in. Every touch and every look made you want him more, and the fact that it seemed to be mutual didn’t make it easier to control your horniness. You were on the boat all summer already, you never slept with any other crew, and you hadn’t been fucked well in too long. Dramatic maybe, but Pierre just made you long for it. You were keeping your professional distance throughout the day, serving the lunch on a beautiful view point. They praised the crew all the time for their hard work of making this happen, and it had been a tonne of work, but if it puts a smile on the face of the guests, nobody complains. When they finished the lunch, everything was broken down to get it downstairs again. Pierre and his friends wanted to go back to the boat to enjoy more time in the water, which was possible after the yacht went to its second anchorage near Split. It would take the yacht about five hours to get there. There was enough time left, for them to get on the jet-ski’s before dinner. 
Everyone was back on the boat, and soon the deck crew started hauling anchor to get the trip started. “I assume you’ve been in Split before?” Pierre started while you refilled their glasses of wine. “I have,” you smile. “The whole coastline of Croatia is actually really stunning,” you added. “Have you been outside of Croatia on a yacht?” he asked, taking a glass from you, and you ignored it as your fingers brushed together. “I have done a couple of charters in Spain and Italy, and one time during the Monaco Grand Prix, actually,” you said. “Oh, really? I would have remembered you if I had seen you there,” Pierre grinned. “Well, I was caught up in work and serving margaritas to a group of old millionairs, so I didn’t get off the yacht all night,” you chuckled. “That’s a shame,” Pierre replied. “I will get back in a few if you need anything,” you smiled at them before leaving. You had a quick break before repeating the schedule of yesterday. As the dinner was gala themed, you and a stew made up the table on the bridge deck aft in a classy style. Everyone on dinner service was getting dressed up too, as you and your second stew had long gala dresses and Venetian masks. You placed five more masks on the table for the guests to put on. They were all at the table on time, and dressed up in tuxedo’s, and you had to admit you couldn’t wait to see Pierre from up close.
You followed the other stew with a bottle of wine, filling the glasses next to the water. “Wow, this is amazing,” Pierre complimented the interior on their hard work on the table and the gala themed dinner. “Can I take a picture of the two of you?” he asked, meaning you and the second stew. “Of course,” you said, adjusting the mask and holding up the bottle of wine while taking a cute pose with the other stew. Pierre thinks you look absolutely stunning with the sleek, black dress, and he finds his eyes following you when you walk around the table and get back inside. It doesn’t take long before you’re appearing again, carrying three plates with ease while putting them down, your colleague following to put down the others. He looked up at you when you told them what the chef had cooked for the starter, but he wasn’t even paying attention. Because of this yacht, while it was a huge vessel, it was still a small space to be in with a lot of people, and he felt this attraction that made him wish this charter lasted forever. He smiled at you when your eyes briefly darted over his. The dinner was delicious, everything that was served went beyond their expectations, the crew outdid themselves to make sure everything was perfect. 
You were so nice, naturally flirtatious, and he loved the sound of your laugh as you spoke to one of his friends, bending over a little to refill the glass of wine. Pierre’s eyes darted to your cleavage, hands tingling to let your perfect tits spill over the material, to unzip your dress and finally see what you were wearing under those cute skirts you had been wearing yesterday and this morning. The rest of the evening went smoothly. You had stretched out the dinner quite well, but some of the guys preferred to go to bed early. You already told the second stew she could go to bed, and as soon as you were sure they didn’t want anything else to eat, the chef could get to bed too. You were the only one up, with probably one or two of the deckies on anchor watch, but they were up in the bridge anyway. Soon enough, only Pierre was up. “Can I get you a refill?” you asked kindly, taking away the rest of the glasses. “No, it’s fine. I’m just hanging around,” Pierre said. “Alright,” you smiled. “You are the only up, actually. Do you mind if I do a quick vacuuming in the main salon?” you asked. “Absolutely not, do your thing,” he said, and you nodded. You felt a little awkward while starting the vacuum cleaner, but he really didn’t seem to mind. 
You cleaned the carpet quickly, and then put the vacuum cleaner away. You sprayed the table with some cleaning product, wiping it down. “Can I do anything for you?” you asked, nearly begging him to just ask you to make another drink for him, anything, just so you could stop feeling hot and bothered under his stare. “There is something, but...” Pierre says, approaching you. “It’s inappropriate,” he says, and you look up at him, not taking any steps back. “Is it?” you hum, making him nod. You suck in a harsh breath when his hand moves to wrap around your waist. “Pierre...” you whine, not able to resist his lips brushing over your cheek, pressing lightly to your jaw before trailing down to your neck. Your hands rest on his chest, feeling the heat of his skin seeping through the button-up of the tuxedo. “I’m going to get fired for this,” you mutter, meanwhile doing no attempt to push him back. Instead, he draw you in closer, grabbing your waist a little firmer, pushing you up against his delicious body. “Good, then you can finally get off this boat and get in my garage instead,” Pierre replied, making you look at him with a chuckle.
“Tell me you want this,” he commands, and your eyes almost fall closed when his lips brush over yours. “Fuck, I want it,” you blurt out, your arms wrapping around his neck and pulling him down to finally kiss you. He moans against your lips as soon as they’re connected, sending a shiver up your spine. “Are we the only ones up?” he mutters against your lips. “We are,” you whisper back. “My crew can’t know about this,” you add. “Nobody has to know,” Pierre says, taking a bite of your lower lip before slipping his tongue in your mouth, licking at yours before exploring further. “Let’s head down to your cabin,” you hum, enjoying the feeling of his hands on your lower back way too much, but you have to move to get out of the main salon and risk being caught here. “The best thing I’ve heard so far,” Pierre sighs, his hand swatting your ass when you walked in front of him. You grinned, quickly making your way the small stairs to get to the master cabin. “You totally knew I was cleaning your cabin this morning,” you breathed against his lips when the door fell closed behind him, and he had you pushed up against his body already. “I did,” Pierre admitted immediately. “Just needed to see you in that sexy, little skirt,” he grins, his fingers finding the zipper of your dress at the same moment you started to unbutton his shirt. 
You nearly rip the buttons off with eagerness, and Pierre only takes his hands off you to shrug his arms out of the sleeves. You moan at the sight of him, running your hands up his abdomen, his pecs, to his shoulders. He shivers under your touch, the way you admire his body boosting his ego. Pierre roughly takes the zipper of your dress down, letting the material fall down your body. “Knew you had fucking pretty tits,” he praises, his large hands cupping your tits as his lips covered yours again, touching you up, rolling his fingers over your nipples. Your hands fumbled with his belt, undoing the leather that held his slacks on his hips. You unzipped the slacks, moaning and whimpering when he started to kiss down your neck. Your knees nearly buckled as he groaned back when you started to palm him. You were so eager to see his cock, to suck it, jerk it, have it inside you. You gasped when his hand fisted into your hair, forcing you down to your knees. “I know you get off on praise, ma cherié, and I think I’ve praised you enough,” Pierre purrs. “You probably like to be fucked like a slut, don’t you?” he asks, making your pussy clench around thin air, your wetness seeping through the fabric of your thong. “Use your words, darling,” he ushers. “Fuck, I do,” you breathe. 
“I knew you were a little whore under that friendly, pretty girl attitude,” Pierre takes his cock out with his other hand, jerking it right in front of your face. Your mouth waters at the sight, it’s thick, veiny, the perfect length. You whine softly, eager to get it in your mouth. “You want to suck me off like the slut you are?” he asked, and you nod. “Open your mouth for me,” he commands, the head of his cock tapping against your lower lip to make you open up. You gladly spread your lips, lifting a hand to guide him further down your tongue. You moan around him, loving the heavy feeling of his cock as you start sucking it. He grunts lowly, watching you lick the under side, running your tongue down the side of his shaft to get it properly wet. Your hand moved along with your mouth, bobbing up and down. It soon turned to a filthy, wet blow job, and Pierre loved everything about it. He got off on the smacking sounds of your lips, the noises that escaped you were so lovely, and he groaned each time you gagged as he hit the back of your throat. Your tongue felt like velvet against him, swirling around the head and briefly letting him go with a pop as your hand jerked him. “That’s it, gorgeous,” he moans, his abdomen clenching as you slide your tongue over him again. 
You whimper as you taste the salty pre-cum on your tongue, and your head bobs up and down faster, your hand squeezes him a little harder, the other rolling his balls in your palm, craving the thick, white substance in the back of your throat, but Pierre had other plans. “Fuck, baby. I want to cum in that sweet pussy of yours,” he growls, making the wetness pool in your panties. “Let me get a taste,” he mutters, pulling you up from the floor and throwing you back on the bed, the bounce of the mattress making you giggle a little. Pierre kicks his jeans off his ankles, getting on the bed with you, throwing some pillows to the floor. “Been wanting to ruin these bedsheets since you made the bed so nicely this morning,” his voice rasped, his hands sliding over your legs to meet the waistline of your thong. “Need you to make me cum,” you whine. “Oh, I will,” Pierre replies. “Gonna make sure your crew has to wash your cum out of the sheets tomorrow morning,” he said, a devilish smirk on his face that made your eyes roll back already. You lift your hips as he hooks his fingers in your thong and drags it up your legs, throwing it somewhere on the floor. Pierre pushes your thighs apart, spreading you open for him, groaning at the sight of your glistening pussy.
“Already so wet from just sucking me off?” He tuts, looking into your innocent eyes. “Seems like I was right about you being a slut,” he mutters, earning a moan from you when his hands run over your inner thighs. Without a warning, his head buries between your legs and his tongue covers your mound, licking from your hole to your clit in a thick stripe that as your back arching and your toes curling. Pierre’s mouth on your pussy has you gripping the sheets within the first few minutes, the coil in your lower abdomen thickening with each swirl of his tongue over your clit. He sucks the little nub of nerve endings into his mouth, and you curse under your breath as he grazes his teeth over it. Your fingers tangle in his hair, messing it up further as he eats you out so deliciously. Your thighs threaten to close around his head, and you squeal when he places his hands behind the back of your knees and pushing them towards your chest. His tongue teases your hole, dipping in before rolling over your swollen clit again. Your clasp a hand over your mouth to prevent yourself from becoming too loud, but he eats you so well, and the slurping noises don’t help to hold your self-control. You cum hot and heavy, and he groans as he tastes your juices on his tongue. 
“Shit, Pierre, fuck, fuck,” you whimper, profanities and his name mixing on your tongue as he continues to suck on your clit, two of his fingers swirling around your hole before sliding knuckle deep in your pussy. He makes you feel incredible, and he drops your legs again to place a hand over your lower abdomen, offering some pressure. You gather all your strength to lean up on your elbows, watching him as he eats your pussy with passion you can feel in your core. His fingers curl up against your g-spot, and you feel another orgasm building up, but it comes from deeply inside. You’re nearly unable to control your feelings, and you’re almost scared to come undome, but his mouth lifts from your pussy and he kisses your inner thighs. “Come on, cum for me, mon ange.” You relax again, giving into a pleasure you’ve rarely felt before, and you push a pillow over your face while you cum on his fingers and tongue again. “Shit, you’re so hot,” Pierre moans, sitting up as you squirt over his fingers, staining the bedsheets as he predicted. “Oh my god,” you breathe, your legs trembling and you need a minute to come down. “That’s a good girl,” he praises, kissing up your body. “Get on your hands and knees,” he growls, jerking his cock a couple of times while you turn around, your brain fogged by the orgasm he just gave you. You lean on your elbows and knees, your head down. 
Pierre’s hand comforting rubs up your spine, but the sweet moment lasts shortly as he spanks your ass next, making your toes curl and your pussy clench. You moan as you feel the head of his cock sliding into your pussy, and your fingers grab onto the sheets again when he’s fully in. The stretch is absolutely delicious, and you can tell you’re dripping wet around him as he groans at the feeling of your wet cunt. “You’re so fucking tight for me, ma belle,” Pierre grunts. “You feel me deep inside you?” he hums, tilting your hips a little. His hand slowly moves into your hair from the back of your neck, twisting your strands a little and lifting your head slightly, making you moan while he didn’t start thrusting yet. He left you waiting a little longer, his hands then slotting around your hips, grabbing you with a bruising grip as he starts to fuck you. His strokes are long, fluid, and angled at the right spot. You were a moaning mess barely a minute into him fucking you, but you didn’t care at all. “Fuck, this pussy feels as sweet as it tastes,” he gritts through his teeth, snapping his hips forward a little harder. He could praise you into the heavens or call you a slut, a whore, you didn’t care, you just wanted him to make you cum on his dick. You clench him tightly, you’re so aroused, so wet.
The head of his cock rakes over the sensitive spots inside your body, and you’re the brink of another release. Pierre looks down at his cock sliding in and out of you, watching his shaft being covered with your slick. Your ass bounces each time he thrusts into you, your back arches a little more. “Pierre...” you whine, dragging out his name so beautifully, it’s music to his ears. “F-fuck, I’m gonna-... God, I’m gonna cum again,” you slur, and you slump down to the mattress, nearly unable to hold yourself up. He easily pushes you to your side, one hand on your lower back while the other holds your thighs. Pierre slows down his thrust, feeling you cum around his cock. Your breath is uneven, your eyes are closed, bathing in the feeling of absolute bliss. Pierre picks up his pace again, and you drift into another state of mind, reaching for his hand that holds onto your thigh, pulling him closer. He opens your legs without pulling out, wrapping them around his waist. His elbows plant next to your head, his abs tightening as he fucks you deeply. Your teeth bite into his shoulder, your nails rake down his back while your legs curl around him tighter. Your heart is thumping against your rib cage, you near that white hot pleasure of your fourth orgasm. You’re both sweaty, his hair is slightly damp. His mouth is on yours, swallowing your moans. His pace didn’t falter again, chasing both of your orgasms this time. 
You moans sound so sweet, and you feel so good around him. “Cum in me,” you breathe against his lips. “Say it again,” Pierre’s voice rasps. “Give me your cum,” you whimper, slotting your fingers around his biceps, holding on for dear life. The coil in your lower abdomen snaps, and the clenching of your pussy makes him cum deeply inside you. He throbs, shooting thick ropes of cum against your walls, prolonging your orgasm. You tremble under him, biting your lower lip to not scream. “Fuck,” Pierre curses, not pulling out of you yet. He lifts himself up a little more, giving you more space. You pull him down again instead, your lips connecting in a delicious kiss again. You can feel your body becoming sore already, and you whine as he shifts in his position, dropping your legs to the bed. “Gonna let me clean you up?” Pierre mutters against your lips, and you noded, resting back against the sheets of the bed while he went to the bathroom and get a wet towel. He cleaned your thighs and your pussy, helping you up so you could go to the toilet. When you came back, he was under the thin duvet of the bed already, and you scoffed at seeing the wet spot. “We should have placed a towel on it,” you say. “I wasn’t sure if I could make you squirt,” he replied with a grin. “You were,” you slap his chest when you reach for your panties on the floor.
You take your dress to put it on again. “You’re not staying?” He asks, leaning up. “I can’t stay, I have to work tomorrow morning, on this boat, in case you didn’t know,” you giggle. “Can’t you just sleep here?” Pierre said, pulling on your wrist to pull you onto the bed. “Nobody can know I was in here,” you whisper with a laugh. “I already broke the rules,” you whine. “I’ll get back to my cabin and see you again tomorrow, okay?” you say. “Hmm, alright,” Pierre gave in, getting up as you hastily put your dress on again, slipping into your flats. You were a little wobbly, and you couldn’t wait to get in bed and sleep. He pulls you close before you could leave, his hands squeezing your ass as he kisses you. “Sleep well, Pierre,” you say softly. “Goodnight, mon coeur,” he bites at his bottom lip as you quietly leave his cabbin.

1. okay so the island isn’t too big, and it’s very much like a real island!! figure eight is where I spend most of my time when I’m shifting for Rafe, obvs I’ll go to the cut if I’m shifting for jj or johnbee (getting close to that I can feel it!!!)
the country club is like on one of the corners of the island and it has its own private beach but it kinda sucks.
and all of the big houses and villas like tannyhill are in a line and they all have paths that lead out to one really long beach. also there’s boat ports everywhere.
you can definitely tell there’s more of a lack of “maintenance” when you go to the cut if yk what I’m getting at. grass gets a bit more wild and roads are wayyyy more bumpy.
there’s kind of like a half circle bend part of the island, where the main boat port is, that’s more towards figure eight. where Hayward’s is situated.
2. they act pretty similar yeah!! obvs it feels like they act a bit different but that’s just bc I know them in more depth!! so they don’t act different they just act more detailed if you get that? and obviously it feels a bit more “real” cause, well it is.
3. the first time I shifted was actually to a Harry Potter dr when I was like 16 (DO NOT ask me about this I can’t stand the humiliation it was soooo cringeyyyy!!)
but the first time I woke up in my obx dr was last year (I was 18) and it was so fun! It’s definitely a bit disorienting at first.
I literally woke up and saw Rafe in bed next to me and I went for a cuddle but he pushed me off and swore at me 😭 just Rafe behaviour ig, loved him tho and still love him!!
I’ll go into more detail on the last question a bit later bc I’m currently in company so I’ll talk about it later!!
— link
1. this is honestly so cool. i find it rlly interesting how you’re able to visualise and ultimately experience all of this even when it’s not portrayed in the show.
2. this is what i assumed tbh, and i’m glad it’s like that !!
3. THIS IS FUNNY BCUZ MY FIRST ATTEMPTS AT SHIFTING WERE IN FACT TO HP 😭😭. i can’t even read my script today without visibly cringing it’s sooo 😭😭.
i’m sure it must’ve been a shock to have rafe push u off when you were seeing him for the first time omg 😭. i’d probably cry from overstimulation icl.

I wanna go on a little ramble about the papz photos and this weird couples holiday.
On Tuesday at 11:25am (British time zone (BST)) Max jet touches down in Sardinia. Hours later Maria posts a pic from the jet window with the tagged location of Sardinia. Then at 5pm (BST) the daily Mail release papz shoots of them at the airport getting off the plane. The photos were taken by ciaopix and Italian papz agency, for someone to know they'd be there at that airport and at what time, someone had to have tipped the papz off. The article was written by Bethan Edwards who is followed by pageboyprojects, she has also written serval recent articles about kelly on the DM.
The second papz pictures come out on the 3rd of august, the Tumblr account reigningmax release them, the same Tumblr account that released the first set of st Bart's photos. (Not gonna get into how they have access to the photos, something to do with they pay a papz agency for access to all their celeb photos, idk.)
This account seems to have 2 sets of photos from different days, the ones on the beach where max is wearing blue shorts and a white Simpsons top, Kelly wearing a Chanel swimsuit, light grey trousers and a Celine basket bag.
https://www.tumblr.com/reigningmax/724728693432401920/max-verstappen-has-a-lazy-day-in-the-beach-in?source=share
The second set is on a boat. Max this time wearing a red and blue shorts with a white t-shirt, and kelly wearing a long black patterned skirt.
https://www.tumblr.com/reigningmax/724740323661725696/max-in-sardinia-83?source=share
These outfits match with the one with the restaurant guy (on august 3rd) and the post Yara (Kellys friend posted).
https://www.instagram.com/p/CvfT30Bta30/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvi_5o8t5ZR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Now the interesting part comes with this fourth set of papz pics. Released by Justjared and taken by backgrid, who are known for celebs calling them to tell them where they are. The kardashians and Hailey Bieber all use them. Now, these photos look to have been taken at their private villa, which none of the group had posted the location of it anywhere making it unlikely papz were just waiting outside to take pictures. Meaning someone would have probably tipped them off to where they were staying. They were released yesterday at 7:30 pm (BST) and its obvious they didn't do they're research cause despite naming kelly in the headline, they named P as 'their friends children' instead of Kelly's kid.
Justjared released the pictures of kika and Pierre about a month back on the beach.
Also, they are wearing the same outfits as the first lot of beach photos.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvi5VSKulSo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Now Kelly has asked her fans to delete the ones from the villa but none of the others. If this were about privacy she would have asked for all the papz pictures to be deleted but she didn't.
https://www.instagram.com/stories/updateskellypiquet/3162632235928279585/
So for a little timeline, I'm guessing the villa and beach ones were took on the Tuesday the 2nd and the boat ones and restaurant on the Wednesday 3rd.
Throughout this tho I noticed that maxv1stappen__ hasn't posted any of the papz pics, despite posting the ones from st tropez and St barts.
Max's jet is still in Switzerland for maintenance and repairs so I don't think we'll actually know when they're back in Monaco, unless Kelly or even brad posts.
Everyone knows the reason why she wants them gone is because she got the actual experience of being papped 💀

**All of the Malevolent spoilers (up to 25)**
A Record of MC’s Meat Suit
@neutronbutt
This will by no means be comprehensive, but here are some of the things I noted:
Day 1:
Has a fight with Eddie the Maintenance Man and is nearly strangled to death.
Gets in a car crash. Sounded bad, but even the baby was fine, so…?
Gets stabbed in the abdomen and is in a coma for over a month
Day 2
Is running for his life within an hour of waking up from a coma. That can’t be good for you.
Smacks his head on a boathouse
Gets beaten by cops
Gets shot twice in the gut and once in the chest. Saved by ghost.
Day 3
Smacks head on dock.
Gets blood drawn by cultists. Probably no long term effects. hopefully.
Falls in an old elevator from an unspecified height. Uneven footsteps for some time afterward.
Larvae starts burrowing into arm, burns it out with a lighter
Big river monster draws a substantial amount of blood from abdomen with apparent anti-clotting abilities.
Extraplanar entity attempts to destroy soul. Don’t know if that left a mark.
Bites off the tip of his pinky
Day 4
Sandstorm removes skin from right(?) side of face and damages right(?) eye. Presumably damaged any other exposed skin.
Fights an electricity snake.
Blows up the boat the snake is in
Falls into a big nasty pit. Specifically mentions injuring his back and being unable to walk on his ankle
Falls over a smaller drop of some kind
Gets crushed under a rock- mentions leg and arm are injured
Resets dislocated shoulder with no medical training, being instructed by a being that can barely remember possessing a physical body.
Has fight with own hand. I think another attempt at strangulation
Starved and tortured in a prison in the world of a god of suffering and madness for 3 months
Day 5 ✨
I think he managed to avoid serious injury until leg snap x2 + throat stab, which Kayne fixes
Edit: oh yeah I forgot about frostbite.
“In wind chill of minus 16.6 F (minus 27 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in less than 30 minutes.”
So what if like most of your skin is exposed and ur severely underweight and losing copious amounts of blood and occasionally falling unconscious in the middle of a snowstorm on a mountain? 🤔
Day 6
Then there’s just the unspecified leg injury that causes him to pass out. Wow he was really on a roll these past 2 days
An indeterminate time passes, but I’ll call it
Day 7
That’s right, folks, we’ve almost spent a full week with Arty and John
Now it’s just the recent stuff. He says his leg just feels stiff now, and ponders over the drastic recovery 👀
Ear monch
Fall down what sounds like a really long mine shaft. He encounters a lot of shafts huh
Aaaand we’re caught up
Let’s see we’re 2.5 days of strenuous activity (+however long he was unconscious) without food. I suppose that is nothing outside his norm.
Those are most of the major injuries. In the intervening time, he engages in plenty of activities that would result in cuts and bruises. If you want to get real nuanced with your blorbo-crushing you can research the physical effects of chronic stress, coma without proper recovery, and of long-term starvation.
At this point I’m convinced that John is affording him boosted constitution.

Gibbs x reader - taking a step back
Tumblr media
Hi could you do a Gibbs x reader where it’s a cheating angst with the prompts 37. “Listen to me! Just for a minute!”, 39. “I love you, but I know you’ll never pick me.”, and 46. “Can’t you see you’ve been played?! - Anon💜
It had been a while since you saw your non boyfriend-boyfriend, you’d been so busy you hadn’t had much time to call home let alone see him.
You weren’t ready to jump straight into dating, and Gibbs was okay with that, he enjoyed taking it slow with you and getting to know you for who you were.
You felt back for missing all your dinner dates with him and days out, but to make it up you brought his favourite takeaway and knocked on the door.
You know you didn’t have to, but it was an automatic response to just knock on all doors before going in.
Pushing it open, you closed it behind you and looked around.
“Jethro?” You called lightly.
You didn’t get a response and you frowned slightly, maybe he was still at work?
Setting the food in the kitchen, you started to wonder around but he wasn’t to be found anywhere.
“Maybe working on his boat?” You asked yourself.
Heading down the stairs, you stopped halfway when you saw some woman pressed into him, his hands on her face as he kissed her.
Staring, you realised it was his ex wife and you froze for another few seconds before you slowly crept back up the stairs.
Tears streamed down your face as you quietly left the house, and you sent him a text saying you shouldn’t see each other anymore and left his spare key under the doormat.
You knew what Gibbs was like and that he wasn’t going to look at his phone anytime soon, so you dropped a message to the guy who does the maintenance for your apartment building and asked him to change your lock as soon as possible.
Maybe you were overreacting, you guys weren’t strictly exclusive and you never said that you couldn’t see other people.
But it still hurt, did he still love his ex? Was that it? Was he getting tired of waiting for you?
So many thoughts rushed around your head and you didn’t know what to do.
Sitting on your couch, you were so lost in your own head you didn’t notice someone knocking on your door until it opened.
“(Y/N)?”
“Oh… Charlie.. hey…”
The man sighed and walked over, leaving his tools by your door as he sat with you.
“What’s up darl?” He asked.
“Another failed attempt at a relationship I guess…” you laughed weakly.
The man wrapped his arm around you and leant into you into his side.
You sighed, letting the tears fall from your eyes once more as you sobbed lightly.
Your phone buzzed and he reached over to read it.
“He says he’s coming over, let me quickly change that lock then we’ll order some food, eat some ice cream and watch crappy movies okay?”
“You don’t have too…” you sniffled, “you can just change the lock it’s okay..”
“Not a chance, you gave me a place to stay when they tore my place down, and you always give me loads of tips. You do a lot for me, let me do this for you, got it?”
You looked at him and nodded your head.
“I’ll give Jamie a call and ask him to bring us some food from the restaurant.”
“Thank you…”
“Anytime.”
He quickly changed your lock and swapped your key before locking the door and texting his boyfriend before coming to sit with you again.
Not even five minutes later you heard someone try the lock before there was a knock on the door.
“(Y/N)?”
You froze at the sound of his voice.
“Come on I know you’re in there.” He called again.
You said nothing and turned to Charlie for help.
He gestured for you to duck down and you did and he walked over to the door before opening it slightly.
“Hey man, sorry but she’s gonna away for a bit, asked me to watch the place.”
“I know she’s in there.”
“She ain’t, she went outta town, something about a break up.” Charlie shrugged.
“Fine.”
Charlie closed and locked the door again and you sighed.
“Thanks…”
For the rest of the night you sat with your friend until he had to leave and then you hung around in your place for a bit.
All around were things belonging to Gibbs, clothes and books and films.
Boxing them all up, you checked the time before making sure he was at work and heading over to his.
Knocking on the door you walked in and headed to the kitchen to put the things in there.
His ex was still there and she was milling about, looking in everything.
“Oh hi!” She smiled.
“Tell him I dropped these off.”
With that, you left and went back home.
For the next few days you stayed at home before you finally made your way back to work.
It was late when you finished, and when you stepped out the front doors you came face to face with him.
“Go home…” you mumbled.
You went to walk away and he fell in line with you, so you stopped and turned to face him.
“Leave me alone!” You yelled.
“No. Just listen (Y/N)…”
“No! Listen to what? I know we weren’t exclusive Gibbs, okay? I know we weren’t but fuck you could’ve still told me!”
Ripping the necklace he got you, you tossed it directly at him.
“And with your ex wife?!”
“Listen to me! Just for a minute!“ he rushed back.
He took your hand in his, kneeling down he picked the necklace up and pressed it into your palm, holding your hand between the pair of his.
You snatched your hand back and tossed the necklace at him again.
“I don’t want it… I want to forget you.. everything… I knew I made a mistake..”
Balling your hands on your sides, you stared straight at the floor.
“I’m not competing with your ex wife… there’s no use..”
“You don’t have to compete (Y/N)…” he whispered.
“I love you, but I know you’ll never pick me.”
You sighed and turned around, stuffing your hands into pockets of your trousers and started to walk away again.
“Can’t you see you’ve been played?!”
You stopped walking, Gibbs took this as the chance to walk around and leant down in front of you.
“She came over to give me something, she read on my phone that you were coming and heard you opening the door, so she kissed me.”
“Yeah.. and you kissed her back…”
“I didn’t, you saw it from one side. I promise you I didn’t, I covered her mouth with my other hand.”
Gibbs took your face between his palms and pressed a kiss to your forehead.
“I promised you I’d wait for you, and I meant it…”
Taking his hands from your face, you took a few steps back as you refused to meet his gaze.
“Sorry…”
Was all you said before you rushed away leaving Gibbs stood there conflicted and lost.
He really thought he was getting somewhere with you, and now that was all gone

Your Essential Tips for Summer Boating
Tumblr media
Summer is definitely, undeniably, and undisputedly the boating season. Sure, you might use your boat throughout the rest of the year, but summer is when the experience comes to life. With clear skies and the sun shining bright, anyone would love to spend some time at sea or at lakes or in the ocean to cool themselves and experience fun adventures. Aside from doing fun activities in the water, you can finally put your aluminium plate boat to good use and even boast its beauty and power to your mates once you invite them to your boat for a mini party onboard or for a fishing excursion.
No matter how caught up you get with planning and mentally preparing yourself for your boating activities, you should never disregard safety and a little bit of maintenance work too. Having those things to keep in mind can help prepare your boat better so you’ll be assured that you will have the best time onboard.
So, whether this is your first summer on the water or you have been boating for decades, a few essential summer boating tips can always help you get more from the experience.
De-winterize Your Boat
Many boats sit unused on the harbour for three or more months before summer. This can cause some parts of the boat to rot and other rubber parts to dry from salt air and extreme temperature changes. In addition, fuel in the engine tank may break down, while moisture can lead to the corrosion of metal parts and electrical systems.
If the oil has been in the engine for months, consider draining it out and replacing it with fresh fluids. Old fuel can clog your engine components and possibly cause damage to your boat. Check all of the cables and hoses on your boat engine, including fuel and coolant hoses, and ensure they are tight and secure.
Prepare the rest of your boat as well. Make sure all the equipment you have are working properly. Clean your upholstery from dirt, grime, or dust. Clean your deck with an appropriate cleaner to avoid damaging your boat. If your boat has a self-draining deck, make use of it by washing your deck with water and soap to ensure that you’ve cleaned your boat well.
Bring Watersports Accessories
Depending on the kind of boat you own, adding a few water toys can make the experience more enjoyable for the whole family. You could look for a tube designed to be towed behind the boat, or even just some inflatables that can make it more enjoyable to swim off the side when the motor engine is off.
Boating is great, but it’s fun on another level when you spend your time on the water with the people who matter most in your life. So, as you schedule your boating adventures, be sure to call the friends and family who will make each trip one to remember.
Be Mindful of  Water Traffic
One of the few disadvantages of summer boating is that everyone thinks of doing the same thing; which is doing boating adventures as well. Because of this, the amount of traffic on the water is high. The waterways can get as busy as a highway during rush hour traffic so be smart about when you choose to cruise. If you can’t help but boat around areas where there are a lot of people around, be aware of your surroundings and share the water. Pay attention to the people on the water and give other boats plenty of room. Don’t forget to adhere to the posted speed limit especially if you’re near shores, docks, or properties near the water.
Safety First Always
Given how busy the waterways become during the summer, plan ahead before going out for the day.
Make sure there are enough life jackets on board. Aside from being cautious for any emergencies that may happen, this is also required by law, and if you are pulled over by the coast guard by chance, you may receive a ticket if they find out you’ve not been storing life jackets onboard. And while we’re still on the topic of staying safe onboard, don’t forget to bring important devices such as a VHF radio to communicate with authorities and the Coast Guard who can offer you assistance when things go astray. A depth finder equipment to avoid running aground in shallow waters. A GPS device to help you navigate areas where you’ll be boating so you won’t get lost.
Don’t just focus all your energy on your boat. You also need to take care of your body as well. Fill a cooler with readily accessible water. In extremely hot weather, staying hydrated is critical! Plus there’s no greater feeling than quenching your thirst with a cold bottle of water.
Since it’s summer, the sun is shining its vast glory on anything under it. While being out under the sun can be beneficial and makes you feel better generally, long exposure to the sun can be harmful to your skin. And if you are aboard a boat without a canopy, it can be uncomfortable to stay in it for a long time. The UV rays from the sun can cause sunburns, rashes, discomfort, and even skin cancer. You don’t want any of those things to happen to you, do you? Remember to pack sunscreen or sunblock to keep your skin protected. Slab it on the areas of your body where it will get exposed to the sun and reapply it every few hours. ‍
Explore New Areas
Make it a point to cruise to new destinations with your friends this summer. Make new experiences with those you want to create memories with by trying new things and going to new places. Summer is all about going to new locations, and it should ideally become a yearly goal for you if you can.

Norway makes progress in the recovery of U.S. Osprey trapped in a nature reserve
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/14/2022 - 19:26in Incidents, Military
Teams from the Norwegian Ministry of Defense are assisting the U.S. in the recovery of a CV-22 Osprey arrested in a Norwegian national reserve. (Photo: Norwegian Ministry of Defense)
The Norwegian Ministry of Defense is progressing in the recovery of a CV-22 Osprey from the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) that has been trapped on an island, Norway's natural reserve, for more than a month.
Like many other fuselages of its type, the Osprey had problems with its clutch and had to make an emergency landing at the southern tip of Senja in Troms and Finnmark, the northernmost county in Norway.
The recovery process took a long time to prepare, taking into account its impact on nature. All the equipment needed for the operations arrived in Senja this week and was removed from the barge to land using a small gear barge.
Tumblr media
The work on the improvised path that will bring Osprey closer to the coast has already begun. Parts of the path were built by placing the wooden mats towards the helicopter and towards the sea. The Osprey was lifted and the wheels dug into the ground.
In short, the plan involves lifting the aircraft with a gromboat. For this to be possible, the aircraft must be moved a little closer to the coast. That is why a small road of wooden materials must be built to ensure the least possible damage to nature.
Soldiers of the Norwegian Army Engineers Battalion are building the improvised road and, if the weather and wind allow, the survey will take place early next week. From there, the Osprey will be transported on a crane boat to a maintenance facility in a NATO port in Norway.
Tumblr media
The U.S. AFSOC previously said that the aircraft is damaged, but the extension has not yet been determined. Judging by the fact that the problem originated in the clutch, the gearbox will probably have to be replaced and, possibly, the engine as well.
The Osprey accident in Norway was one of several Osprey incidents that led the AFSOC to land its 52 CV-22 fleet to examine the problem. Some of the grounded aircraft were reported to have resumed flights in the meantime.

Elevate Your Waterfront Experience with Top-of-the-Line Dock Products

The Ultimate Guide to Installing a Rod Locker
Tumblr media
Why You Need a Fly Rod Locker
Before we dive into the installation process, let’s discuss why a fly rod locker is a must-have for any serious fly fisher. A fly rod locker keeps your rods safe from damage, whether you’re transporting them in your vehicle or storing them at home. These lockers prevent your rods from bending, breaking, or tangling, ensuring they last longer and perform better.
Benefits of a Fly Rod Locker
Protection: A rod locker offers padded compartments that protect your rods from impact and abrasions.
Organization: Rod locker organizers help you keep your rods neatly arranged, making it easy to find the right rod when you need it.
Durability: Durable fly-fishing lockers are built to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring your gear stays safe even in rugged environments.
Convenience: With a rod locker, transporting your gear becomes hassle-free, as it consolidates all your rods in one secure place.
Choosing the Right Fly Rod Locker
Selecting the perfect rod locker for your needs is the first step. Here are some factors to consider:
Size and Capacity
The size of the rod locker should match the number and length of your fly rods. Ensure the locker can accommodate your longest rod without bending it. For anglers with multiple rods, look for a locker with multiple compartments.
Material and Durability
Opt for a durable fly-fishing locker made from high-quality materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or heavy-duty plastic. These materials offer excellent protection and can withstand the rigors of outdoor use.
Padding and Interior Protection
A padded fly rod locker is essential to prevent damage during transport. Look for lockers with foam padding or soft lining inside to cushion your rods.
Locking Mechanism
Security is crucial, especially if you travel frequently with your gear. Choose a rod locker with a reliable locking mechanism to keep your rods safe from theft.
Tools and Materials Needed for Installation
Installing a rod locker is a straightforward process if you have the right tools and materials. Here’s what you’ll need:
Fly rod locker
Mounting brackets or hardware (usually included with the locker)
Drill with appropriate bits
Screwdriver
Measuring tape
Marker or pencil
Level
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Your Rod Locker
Now that you’ve chosen the perfect rod locker and gathered your tools, it’s time to install it. Follow these steps for a secure and professional installation.
Measure and Mark the Mounting Location
Begin by determining where you want to install the rod locker. It could be on the roof of your vehicle, inside your garage, or on your boat. Use the measuring tape to find the ideal spot, ensuring there’s enough space for the locker to open and close easily.
Mark the mounting points with a marker or pencil. Double-check the measurements to ensure accuracy, as improper alignment can affect the locker’s functionality.
Drill the Mounting Holes
Using the drill and appropriate bits, carefully drill holes at the marked points. Ensure the holes are clean and free of debris. If you’re mounting the locker on a vehicle or boat, double-check that you’re not drilling into any important components or wiring.
Attach the Mounting Brackets
Most rod lockers come with mounting brackets or hardware. Attach these brackets to the drilled holes using screws and a screwdriver. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened and level, as uneven brackets can cause the locker to sit improperly.
Mount the Rod Locker
Tumblr media
Test the Locker
Once installed, open and close the locker several times to ensure it operates smoothly. Check that the locking mechanism works correctly and that the rods fit comfortably inside without bending or jamming.
Tips for Maintaining Your Fly Rod Locker
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your rod locker and keep your rods in top condition. Here are some tips:
Regular Cleaning
Clean your rod locker regularly to remove dirt, dust, and moisture. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for the exterior, and vacuum or wipe the interior to remove debris.
Inspect for Damage
Periodically inspect the locker for any signs of wear or damage. Check the padding, hinges, and locking mechanism to ensure everything is in working order.
Store in a Dry Place
When not in use, store your rod locker in a dry, cool place to prevent rust and corrosion. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the materials over time.
Lubricate Moving Parts
To keep the hinges and locks functioning smoothly, apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts. This will prevent rust and ensure easy operation.
Customizing Your Fly Rod Locker
One of the great things about rod lockers is that they can be customized to fit your specific needs. Here are some ideas for personalizing your locker:
Add Extra Padding
If you frequently travel over rough terrain, consider adding extra padding to your locker. This provides additional protection for your rods and prevents them from shifting during transport.
Install Additional Compartments
For anglers with a variety of rods and accessories, installing extra compartments or dividers can help keep everything organized. You can purchase these or make custom dividers from foam or other materials.
Personalize the Exterior
Make your rod locker stand out by personalizing the exterior. Add stickers, decals, or a custom paint job to reflect your personality and make your locker easily identifiable.
Conclusion
Installing a fly rod locker is a wise investment for any fly fisher, offering unparalleled protection and organization for your valuable gear. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure a secure and professional installation, allowing you to focus on what matters most — enjoying your time on the water.
Remember to choose a durable fly-fishing locker that meets your needs, and don’t skimp on quality. With the right care and maintenance, your rod locker will provide years of reliable service, keeping your rods safe and ready for your next fishing adventure.
Investing in a padded fly rod locker is not just about convenience; it’s about preserving the integrity of your fishing equipment. So take the time to install it correctly, maintain it well, and you’ll reap the benefits every time you head out to fish. Happy fishing!

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right PVC Tarp for Your Project
PVC Tarps: The Ultimate Guide to Versatile and Durable Coverings
When it comes to protective coverings, PVC tarps are a top choice for their versatility, durability, and wide range of applications. Whether you're looking to protect equipment, create a temporary shelter, or cover a pool, PVC tarps offer reliable performance. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the many uses, benefits, and considerations for choosing the right PVC tarp for your needs.
What is a PVC Tarp?
PVC tarps, or polyvinyl chloride tarpaulins, are made from a synthetic plastic polymer. This material is known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental factors. PVC tarps are typically reinforced with polyester scrim to enhance their durability and tear resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Benefits of PVC Tarps
Durability: PVC tarps are incredibly strong and resistant to tears, abrasions, and punctures. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications and harsh weather conditions.
Waterproof: One of the standout features of PVC tarps is their waterproof nature. They provide excellent protection against rain, snow, and moisture, keeping your belongings dry.
UV Resistance: These tarps are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without degrading, thanks to their UV-resistant properties.
Chemical Resistance: PVC tarps can resist damage from various chemicals and oils, making them suitable for industrial use.
Flexibility: Despite their strength, PVC tarps remain flexible, which allows for easy handling and storage.
Customizable: Available in various sizes, colors, and thicknesses, PVC tarps can be customized to meet specific requirements.
Common Uses of PVC Tarps
Construction Sites: PVC tarps are frequently used to cover building materials, scaffolding, and construction sites, protecting them from the elements.
Agriculture: Farmers use these tarps to cover equipment, hay bales, and crops, ensuring they remain protected from weather damage.
Transportation: They serve as truck and trailer covers, safeguarding goods during transit.
Industrial Applications: Factories and warehouses utilize PVC tarps to cover machinery, raw materials, and finished products.
Recreational Use: PVC tarps are popular for camping, boating, and other outdoor activities, providing temporary shelters, ground covers, and protective canopies.
Home and Garden: Homeowners use PVC tarps for various purposes, such as covering pools, patios, and firewood.
Choosing the Right PVC Tarp
When selecting a PVC tarp, consider the following factors:
Size: Measure the area or object you need to cover to ensure the tarp is appropriately sized.
Thickness: Tarps come in different thicknesses, typically measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). Thicker tarps offer greater durability and resistance but may be heavier and less flexible.
Color: While color can be a matter of personal preference, some colors offer specific benefits. For instance, darker colors can provide better UV protection, while lighter colors might reflect heat.
Grommets and Reinforcements: Check for reinforced edges and grommets, which make it easier to secure the tarp and prevent tearing.
Intended Use: Consider the specific application and environmental conditions the tarp will face to choose one with the appropriate features.
Caring for Your PVC Tarp
To extend the life of your PVC tarp, follow these maintenance tips:
Clean Regularly: Remove dirt, debris, and stains with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can degrade the material.
Store Properly: When not in use, store the tarp in a cool, dry place. Fold it neatly to prevent creases and damage.
Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for signs of wear and tear, such as holes or weakened areas. Repair any damage promptly to maintain the tarp's effectiveness.
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the tarp away from sharp objects that can cause punctures or tears.
