each other. I wondered if we could use the radio on board the Hope to contact them. Eventually we decided that Paul, Sophie and David would take The Hope out the following day before sunrise and travel a few miles up the coast before attempting to contact the ship. We didn’t want them to be able to trace our location in case we decided that we didn’t like what we heard.
    Chapter Nine
    We hadn’t been sleeping long when we were woken by what sounded like someone shouting on a loud speaker. We rushed to get dressed and ran down to the beach from where we could hear the noise coming from. We could see about half a dozen small vessels heading towards us. Eventually we managed to make out what was being said. “SURVIVORS, WE ARE YOUR SALVATION, WE HAVE COME TO RESCUE YOU, PUT DOWN YOUR ARMS AND JOIN US, DO NOT BE AFRAID, WE ARE OFFICERS OF HER MAJESTIES ROYAL NAVY”.
    They must have seen us the day before and come looking for us. Maybe my Brother had sent them, whatever had happened, there wasn’t a lot we could do now. They were heavily armed and we had long since blocked any land route out of the site to protect ourselves from zombies trying to get in. The sea was our only way in and out of the site now.
    We dropped our so called weapons and waited tentatively for the small vessels to arrive. The first one landed after a few minutes and five men jumped out and waded to shore. They were armed with rifles and hand guns. Two of them were dressed to what appeared to be Navy uniforms and the other three were wearing normal clothing with the same Blue sashes we had seen on the corpses of the zombies we’d disposed of a few weeks earlier.
    I stepped forward and introduced myself, one of the men in uniform shook my hand and introduced himself as Warrant Officer Shields. The other man in uniform was introduced as Petty Officer McGill. They explained that they’d been watching us for several days now and had been ordered to take us aboard their ship HMS Somerset where there were many other survivors. They also said that they had been ordered to commandeer our vessel and any supplies for the Royal Navy.
    Whilst this was being explained to us, the other boats had anchored and there were about twenty armed men on the beach, mostly in civilian clothing, but again wearing the Blue sashes.
    We were told that we’d be escorted back to where we were staying to collect clothing and any small personal items and that anything else we required would be provided for us.
    As we walked back up the beach road to the apartments I asked the officers if they had come across Frank and George’s boat The Salt Wind, they said they’d heard of it amongst the many small boats in their fleet, but knew nothing of who had owned it before they’d commandeered it.
    I went on to ask about my Brother, I knew he’d been a Warrant Officer at some point, but he was assigned to a nuclear submarine, so I didn’t think they’d know him, but I thought it was worth an ask. Keith Foster they cried, aye, we know Ginny! He’s on board the Somerset now! Oh my God, I cried, he’s alive! Tears started to stream down my face. And his family, I said, are they on board too? Whoa, one thing at a time, they said, let’s get you all packed and on board and you can ask all you want then, we don’t like to hang around on land too long these days.
     
    Chapter Ten
    We were spilt up among the seven boats. My family and I were on the Hope with one of the armed men in Blue sashes. It took us about an hour to get to the Somerset.
    The Children were frightened at first, but when we explained we were going to see Uncle Keith their fear turned to excitement and they started to talk about the games they were going to play with their cousins. The journey was pretty uneventful. As we drew closer to the Somerset we could see what the guys had been on about. The many other smaller vessels were milling about. I had a look for the Saltwind, but couldn’t see her.
    We cut power and the
