Getting Stoned: In the Biblical Sense

by John Merriam

This is the fifth in a series of six sea stories based on the author's experience in the merchant marine. A tale of mayhem is told about the 1977 transit of the Suez Canal by a U.S.-flagged tanker returning from delivery of a cargo of vegetable oil to Pakistan. The story depicts the tension between Arabs and Americans long before 9/11/01 and the so-called war on terror. Read how the author finds himself in a situation that forces him to take part in the attempted highjacking of a motor launch in Egypt.

Shipping out.

This is another story about going to sea with a guy that has me hanging on the whole trip from the first word and hating to see it end. Thankfully he has another trip, other story tell.
