It was a cool Autumn night, the leaves had begun to change color and there was a slight breeze. However, at the Hornblower Cruise dock there was a boat waiting. It's lights lit, giving the area around it a warm glow. The boat had been rented out for the night for a very picky customer. However, his was rather persuasive in his arguments and ultimately he got what he had wanted.
Hornblower
Once board, One can see that the boat it had had been tactfully decorated with a very Americana look, giving the entire ship a very Steam boat feel, that would have made Samuel Clemens would have been proud. In the middle of the bottom deck there was a table set up so that the Kindred could sit and discuss the business.
The boat was almost empty except for a couple of waiting staff who had been asked very politely not to interrupt the meeting while it was in progress, the Skipper and a couple of crew.
One could hear the slight purring of the engines and the lapping of water against the side of the boat as it waited to leave dock.
