The bobbing and the sharp, salty smell that surrounded me finally woke me up. My tired eyelids fluttered open. I was in the middle of the ocean in a canoe! "What the...." I look around at my surroundings. Blue- green water lapped at the sides on my tiny boat. Small clouds dotted the bright sky. By looking at the position of the sun, I figured out it was around noon. Something big darted through the water on my right. I swung around, but I was far too slow 2 even glimpse the creature lurking blow. All I saw was the greenish glint of a tail.
