    Wonderful, A.K. I'm with Anthony's pun about those human sharks. They always overcharge.

    I was anticipating three panic attacks until I read the 2nd line. You and Anthony made a great duo on this one. :)

    Great job! Sitting in a small boat can be interesting when there are things like sharks and alligators around.
