Smooth Sailing—Not!
Check out all the boats," nine-year-old Frank Hardy said as he ran toward the Bayport Marina.
His eight-year-old brother, Joe, looked at the docks. They were filled with powerboats and sailboats.
They’re awesome, all right,
he said.
Hey, you guys. I think I see a beached whale,
their friend Chet Morton said. He pointed to a spray of water. Thar she blows! Thar she blows!
Chet,
Frank said. Someone is watering the grass.
Chet stopped jumping up and down. Oh . . . yeah,
he said.
It was the first Monday during summer vacation. The Hardys’ friend Brian Ludlow had invited them on his dad’s sailboat. Mr. Ludlow owned the Bayport Marina and several boats.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
Joe asked as they waited for Brian.
Why?
Frank asked. You’re not scared, are you?
Nah,
Joe said. He turned his baseball cap backward. But what if the most fantastic mystery comes up while we’re away at sea?
Frank smiled. He and his brother loved solving mysteries. Their friends liked to call them the Clues Brothers.
Joe’s right,
Chet said. He considered himself a detective-in-training. What if a spy plane crashes in Bayport? While we’re halfway around the world?
You guys!
Frank cried. We’re only going for three hours.
Ahoy, mates,
a voice called out.
The boys turned and saw Brian Ludlow. He was dressed in a white polo shirt and beige shorts.
Hi, Brian,
Frank said. Which boats belong to your dad?
Brian began to point. The powerboat, the Jet Ski, and the kayaks. But we’re going on that sailboat over there.
Frank and Joe stared at the shiny blue sailboat. Mr. Ludlow was already on board, raising the tall white sail.
Not too shabby,
Frank said with a smile.
Joe smiled, too. I guess a break from detective work isn’t such a bad idea.
Frank, Joe, and Chet followed Brian to the boat. There was a pile of bright orange life vests on the dock.
Hi, boys,
Mr. Ludlow said. Ready for a sail?
Chet snapped his feet together and gave a salute. Aye, aye, Captain!
First Mr. Ludlow showed the boys how to fasten their life vests. Then they each stepped into the sailboat.
The front of the boat is called the bow,
Mr. Ludlow explained. The back is called the stern. You’re standing on the deck.
