Sherlock didn't see John watching him. He was too busy getting assistance from the people on the boat. They were out of Barbados, which is the opposite way from Sherlock's home island of Trinidad, but he would be able to find a boat home from there.
He looked forlornly at the island. He hadn't even gotten to say goodbye to John.
It took several weeks of sailing to get back to Trinidad. By the time he got back, he was much closer to his normal weight, though he was still thin, dark from the weeks he spent in the sun.
At first, Sherlock just took a couple of weeks to get back to living with other humans again.
Eventually, he found a bit of property on a less inhabited part of Trinidad. He bought it, because had a rundown house already on it. He used some of the coins that John had gotten him to hire men to fix the place up, including putting in a dock, even though for now he didn't have even a little dinghy.
Days turned into weeks, and soon enough it passed two months since he'd been rescued. He thought about John every day, and he would sit out on the deck around sunset every night, wondering what he was doing at that moment.
