The sun began to rise over the swirling blue sea. It was the fourth day that I had seen the sun rise from this stupid‚ bobbing dingy. It was the fourth day I had been without water‚ food‚ or anyone to talk to. My eyes traced along the splintering wood railings that ran down the edge of the survival boat. The dry chipping paint of the boat closely resembled the skin of my face. My lips were cracked and red. I looked like I had already died. “I wonder if anyone knows i’m out here.” I said to my self

There is no place I’d rather be‚ than surrounded by the sea. The main road‚ Route 776‚ is approximately 28 kilometres. There is a back road‚ along with hundreds of

There’s no other place in the world where I feel the most at home than being at Long Beach Island. There you can smell the fresh‚ salty air of the ocean as the warm breeze brushes across your face. It is a place where the sand‚ sometimes chilled by the water or boiling hot up in the sand dunes‚ fiddles its way through your toes one by one sending chills down your spine with every step. Off in the distance you can hear the chiming of bells as the ice cream men call children of all ages to cool themselves

I have spent days in the Hawaiian Islands educating Hawaiians about Christianity and it is no vacation. I have grown taller from when you have last seen me‚ but I do look very different. My hair is now a light brown from the exposure of the scorching sun‚ my body has become frail and scrawny from the lack of food and nutrients on my journey‚ and my attitude towards events has changed and I am more aware and sensitive to my peers aboard the ship. I have suffered sea sickness and have witnessed many

Guano islands Along the Peruvian coast is a string of rocky islands and peninsulas that are home to guanay cormorants‚ boobies‚ and pelicans. The birds leave the islands every morning to feed on the fish‚ especially anchovies‚ that are plentiful in the Humboldt Current. They return in the afternoon.

By the time Europeans first saw the islands‚ the guano was more than 100 feet

The ocean separates him from the lighthouse‚ prevents him from leaving the island. Supposedly‚ the lake is the cause of his children’s death. Water‚ in other words‚ is bad news for Teddy Daniels.
