Being Bahama

yacht mishap

Rather than go back to the shop for a change of clothing and risk getting caught up in more work, I decided I’d just board my yacht and craft some casual clothes to bring along.  I so rarely sit aboard my ship when I’m not in the process of travelling from here to there.  I usually board with my pilot droid who follows strict orders to take the quickest, safest, most direct route possible.It’s funny how this yacht that I’ve owned for so many years can still feel a bit spooky when I’m all alone.  I wandered around checking that everything was as it should be and tried to ignore the nagging thought in the back of my mind that something could be lurking around the next corner.  In the end, I choose to work downstairs in the smallest room where the lack of windows made me feel more at ease.

With my new clothes packed in my bag I returned to the pilot chair with the intention of flying myself to Endor to go fishing.  I should have known better.  I hit some lever or button and my ship took off flying.  I hit everything I saw but it would not stop.  Controlling my panic, I remembered the procedure my friend taught me for an emergency landing.  Thankfully it worked and I was soon back at Theed Starport. 

With my trusty pilot droid at the helm, I made it to Endor without incident. When will I ever learn?!
