I really don't like this part of the contest. But then, I used to give out a lot of 'A's when I was a teacher.

It doesn't seem right, though, to waste this prize, so I will vote...for @maparari's escape into madness. She was, after all, first to venture an entry, and her story was unique. Always get a plus from me for that :).

Good luck to everyone. Watery adventures were enjoyable in every instance. May you return for the next challenge. I hope to, if time permits.
