Chapter 122 Trough Of The Waves

• The storm was blowing them off course, so Alfred ordered that the engines be switched on, which meant that Ken was now in the engine room. Layla made hot sausage sandwiches for lunch and sent Annie back on deck to tell the skipper that they were ready.
• Alfred came down below shortly afterwards and went to his cabin before appearing in the galley. He was wearing a polo neck sweater over his shirt, the sleeves pushed up, giving him an even more nautical look. Looking at him, Layla decided that he could never be anything else but a sailor. He fitted the part so exactly, just like his Viking ancestors had done down the ages.
• Roy hadn't put in an appearance for lunch, which meant that he must still be feeling ill. Nothing else would keep him from his food. Ken was down with his beloved engines, Anne and Craig had gone to rest, and Mark and Casper were on deck, staring out at the sea.
