Odessa Young was standing on the beach
She was speaking to her future husband on a mobile phone
I am standing at the water’s edge
Paul and I are considering a swim
In the distance a white yacht with orange sails
Was making good progress due to an agreeable wind
The yacht was captained by Odessa’s future husband Paul
Odessa and Paul had planned to meet at eight o’clock sharp in front of the Royal Hotel
But both knew that the extreme blueness of the sea would inhibit their evening meeting
