The ocean is big, the ocean is wild, and the ocean is unpredictable so something can go wrong very quickly. I always tell the girls that they will someday be needed and when that time comes, they better be prepared. We practice a lot on being vigilant and we talk about reacting in different situations. It was just another ordinary day as we went surfing on the boat. This day turned out not to be that ordinary.
We were in the boat and could hear screaming from a far distance away. I see 2 girls on a small boat trying to get our attention. I thought they were playing but the panic in their screams said something was terribly wrong. I get out my binoculars and see the girls yelling “help! help!” I speed towards them and noticed a guy laying on his back splashing like he was going to drown. He was trying to fight the strong current and panicked. He was in total shock mode and looked like he was on his last breath. Rocky and Mighty Mouse got to him and safely transferred him back to their boat on their surfboards. Imagine, some mother could have lost her son that day while his sisters watched helplessly. Thankfully, the universe placed us at the right place at the right time that day.
After that incident, the girls jumped in and caught a tako on their own. Everybody went home happy that day.
A message to all ocean people, “always be vigilant.”
