I’ll be one of the first to admit I have no idea what goes on in the mind of a woman. If that makes me dense and clueless, so be it. It don’t bother my pride none.

Very enjoyable

One of the finest stories on this platform

5 stars and a favourite. It's a beautiful story and makes for a great read.

A thoroughly enjoyable tale and a new favorite writer

Great even on the 3rd read!

Liked this story. Very romantic.

I see that you've gotten 152 comments before mine, so I'll keep it brief. Loved it!

Wonderful story and a great Romance. Well written with a classic overall feel. Thank you so much, this is a Keeper. 5* and I'll read it again a few dozen times!

Intellectually it was a refreshing romance.

Not unlike a Tracy and Hepburn film.

Nice presentation.

Romance stories should be like this, without all the usual bs and drama...11/10.

6 Stars!!! Had as wonderful a love for more than 64 years!

Still one of my favorite romance stories, So Satisfying.😇😍😻😍😘💘💝💖

I read this story on another site

I Like it 5 stars

Honestly, no bad actors here, except for the poor driving of one. Love it.

This has been one of my favourites for several years and I can't help but keep coming back to it. Thank you for such a delightful story.

An Awesome story, very enjoyable.

What a wonderful, loving and funny story. Very well written and a pleasure to read. Five stars and thanks.

The story is well-written and definitely worth more than 5 stars.

EXCELLENT.

A fun story with good characterisation and descriptions. Well worth reading.

Lovely.

Great love story...

Adorable love story

Read again - great story.

Wonderful story, loved every bit of it. Looking forward to more from you.

Wut are you thinking? Of course the women are plotting together. Like a pod of whales or a Parliament of owls, a group of women is a conspiracy- and it only takes 4 breasts to make a quorum. "I'll answer that question, your Honor. No, we are not in a sexual relationship. I'd describe it more as the most-passionate-in=the=history=of=mankind relationship. A gotta-be-

a-dream relationship, because no woman who's even smarter than she is beautiful could possible be interested in a guy like me. The certainty that one morning, I'll wake up dead; that's when, not if. A death-do-us-part relationship- where I'm dragged away kicking, screaming and flailing my elbows, buying time for my attorney to file an injunction. She is that good... Now my secretary of five years is threatening to quit; I'm stomping around the office like a bear with hemorrhoids because I can't talk, email, text or even slip her a note in study hall until this trial is over. The closest I've been to her is when she's in here trying to make me look stupid. I'm a guy, so- yeah. But engineering is something I'm good at- also sailing, cooking, giving back rubs and a host of lesser talents. I can't even get my back cleaned properly, and before you suggest 'back scrubber', do you really want to suggest that she can easily be replaced by a mechanical device? Remember, it goes both ways... and makes for a bad precedent." five stars

This story is well written and fun. You did a great job of making lawyers seem like real people.

YOU NEED TO FINISH IT.

Excellent stuff. Some of us wee males are a bit dense when it comes to the other softer, beautiful gender. I was, still am in a way, and lost the first love of my life as a result.

Happily together now with my main love of my life, but a long time finding her.

Will keep reading the rest of your offerings in due course.

Regards

OOF

Spot on to place this story in the Romance category--which, unlike any other category does not require conflict, only the eternal dance. Found the character development to be brisk and to stay "in character" as the plot developed. As to criticism about Jill's behavior having a note of questionable subterfuge?

SHE'S A WOMAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, AND ONE WITH A MISCHIEVOUS SENSE OF HUMOR.

N'uff said.

Loved it. Kudos and MORE PLEASE! 10 out of 10.

She's written as a really nice, principaleled, intelligent, loving woman, but even when a woman is that good I have and still d HATE all the game playing and trickery.

Nice Hallmark fantasy story, but not one drama point.

too few conflict,

sweet and heartwarming, but borung without (few) conflict

Very nice, thanks so much.

An absolutely lovely and sweet romance, never though Jill was that devious about getting together with him.

Special, very special

Excellent!

10/10!!!!!

Just as happy and warmed as the other times I have read this delightful romantic story. Great characters with such endearing charisma. I hate that there is no more to read every time I get to the last paragraph.

Super well written story by a fabulous story teller. Thanks for sharing your work with us. John

This story is great by itself, but even more so beings I recognize the locations. I've lived in the PNW my whole life and have visited Victoria a number of times. Have loved it each time. I was wondering if the slide you referenced had a real life counterpart, such as the Oso disaster. Regardless, I enjoyed the story on all levels

excellent

What happened? there is no story after ch 1...blank pages

What a great story. The ending was just perfect! Thank you for the time and effort it took to put this together

.....with no complications to speak of. Keep writin'.

simple story, simple love, and romance storyline.

sometimes a nice easy read it's all it's needed.

very nice! 5 Stars

I had no idea someone had done this on Youtube. What did it look like?

Back to back. This is the second great story that appeared then disappeared on YouTube. How refreshing to see it again on Literotica. This is truly a great love story and I'm honored to have been able to read it again here. Excellent writing and an excellent read. one of my all time favorites. 5 (thousand) stars! CC

Great story and in my favorites

garbage "Jumping the Shark Shock and Awe" many of the authors on Literotica seem to think they need to make their stories different and stand out. Sometimes people forget one of life's basic tenants............. KISS. Keep it simple, stupid.

Lake of The Woods is in N. Minn (Northwest angle) and S.W. Ontario, Whatever -this is a great story, read it enough that I have it almost memorized.

This is a nice week down at the beach because I am enjoying some of my favorite reads from the past. This is a beautiful story and thank you for sharing!

My publishers are only a few blocks from the Empress Hotel and my wife and I love the place! we sail, too, but on Lake of the Woods in NW Ontario, a couple of hours from our home. Loved the story, brought back fond memories! Keep up the great work.

I deliberately left the location a little vague. I don't know of a Johnson Island in Puget Sound either.

Sweet little romance. I have had difficulty finding a Johnson's Island anywhere in Puget Sound, certainly nowhere near Edmonds, Olympia, Tacoma, Shilshole Bay or anywhere that has an Anthony's and a Marina.

Lol oh my this was an excellent story, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. 5 stars.

Lol oh my this was an excellent story, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. 5 stars.

My wife and I are from the Pacific Northwest. We went to Vancouver Island for our honeymoon. We went by ferry so we could drive around the Island. We had High Tea at the Empress. We walked around at night and found a great Irish Pub called the Wig & Dicky. The customers found out it was our honeymoon and started a big party for us. God what fun!! We both were sailors and spent some time sailing the San Juan Islands. So your wonderful love story brought back MANY beautiful memories to this old man. You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you SO much for your wonderful read. Keep em coming.

I haven’t been able to stop reading your well written love stories. Please keep writing this type of story.

In my favorites and I enjoy it each time that I read it. Great job . Just a dang good love story.

Regarding the debate over IEDS:

If you think countries, ALL countries were not making their own improvised devices well before that war, you are quite mistaken. Any trap is an IID {improvised Injury Device}. There have been traps made with gun powder, C4. Vietnam is filled with horror facts of kids blowing themselves and GI's up.

What do you think OKC was? A massive IED. So was WTC 95. The Cole attack was a floating version. All those happened well before. Just because it makes a catchy acronym doesn't mean they are some new thing that hadn't been used before.

ieds didn't show until after 9/11/2001 when the U S went into the middle east while hunting Bin Lauden using questionable people

Do not stop writing, you are very good!

Regarding the IEDS....one of the commentators should remember

the I stands for improvised( in case s/he forgot). explosives

inside the handle bar or the crosbar of a bike qualifies for

that definition...Vietnam was full of those scenarios.

Sailing and sex is one FINE way to spend a day, any day.

keep writing, and I'll keep reading.

A good story well presented. I liked the characters from the first few paragraphs. I wonder how many other engineers had to look up Atterberg limits.

detroitdave

ieds didn't arrive on scene until after9/11/2001 . other than that a good story

Any story that includes having sex on a sailboat gets my vote. I married mine also.

You write superb stories.

Sadly I have read them all now and yet want more.

needs to be placed on my Favorite Story list. Definitely worth ten stars.

Every girl needs a knight like Angus, and every male engineer needs a beautiful young woman like Jill to protect.

without a doubt the best story I have read till date on this site

I've read this a couple of times. One of the best stories on this site. Never fails to lift my mood just when I need it. ,,,,5+++ stars.

Probably the best that I have read on this site. Clean and very romantic.

This is the best story I've read on this site to date, and I have been reading stories here for much longer than I'd care to admit. I definitely was not ready for it to end.

How did I miss it for so long?

Anyway, six stars. Oops! Had to settle for five 'cause I couldn't find the sixth.

Now I I'm going to go read all the rest of your stories.

Thanks for a totally entertaining evening.

Simply super. Enjoyed it very much from beginning to end.

I loved it.

There is a tide in the affairs of men,

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries...

It means that, if you miss your opportunity, you may find yourself trapped in disappointing shallows and miseries. I love how it truly applies in this story of how, in seizing the opportunity, Ben's life ends up the way it does.

Great Job, Thucydides! This story is one of my favorites.

MoogPlayer

He plainly stated that he was a navy corpsman attached to a marine corps unit the same as they were in vietnam. Get your facts straight.

It's a very good entertaining story. Nice man saves beautiful woman they meet for a drink and dinner and they click. It's not rocket science folks it's just a very good story. Last thing I will say to those picking the story apart for little things. Think. You Can. Do Better than start writing

Mack/ mcwhorter28445@gmail

You know this free and has excellent writing and a fun happy feeling read.

I don't expect tons of research on every detail.

Just enjoy the word crafting.

Really great job.

I hate silly mistakes. Do not make up facts or get into details if you are not positive about it.

If he was a marine corp corpsman who treated ied wounds he would have had to have served after 9/11.

Marines do not patrol the dmz in korea. Army does.

A potshot across dmz (it is 2.5 miles wide so would have had to come from inside dmz) would have been retaliated against immediately.

He was beyond an incompetent sailor. Hit by the boom and then lost control so badly he ended up in a cove?

When Hotel was built in 1908 canada had been independent for 40 years. No longer part of empire.

I hope they brought passports and had a different way back to US. If they were not arrested going into canada without passing through immigration they would be nailed coming back to US. They would have had to go through immigration into canada and then back into US.

The point there might have been subtle if English isn't your first language. Jill, being a practical girl, usually wears a one piece swimsuit like the girls at the Olympics wear. Her friend told her that she should wear something sexier for her date with Ben, and loaned her a bikini. Being a little bigger than her friend the bikini is small on Jill, which she thinks is a little embarrassing but Ben of course likes.

I like this story, it's nice, pleasant, with a touch of humor and without excessive sex.

I was surprised that Jill said the bikini was of her girlfriend ?! It is a grammar error or bad translation?

5* for you.

I apologize for my English, is not my native language.

I really loved the humor in the dialogue between the two protagonists. The plot wasn't bad either. But I found the intimate scenes a bit bland. It doesn't always need a lot of detail there, though this story lacked depth in the department of the (romantic) relationship in general for my taste. Overall still well done for its length, I think.

The plot is middling and it lacks a demonstrable emotional connection between two people who're so in love that they decide to get married.

Guess ex-servicemen are rating this story high as wish fulfillment.

Hi Peoples! To the author Thucydides my compliments for a great story! It's not bad I enjoyed it. Pleeeeeeeeze publish more here? Anyway thanks! Love you all! Bye. Greg. Oh 10 stars = 100 % of enjoyment. Bye.
