the four Pogues in the HMS all groaned in pain from the sudden stop as they all slowly sat up holding their sides in pain. Caroline stayed laying on the floor of the boat resting her arm over her eyes blocking the sun and letting the pain go away on her side.
"you okay, JJ?" Pope asked the Maybank boy.
"i think my heels touched the back of my head" JJ groaned surfacing back up from the water.
"Kie, Ace, you two okay?" John B checked on the girls.
"i'm all right." Kie muttered.
"i would know if something was broken right?" Caroline coughed slowly sitting up.
"Pope, what did you do?" JJ asked annoyance and pain.
"sandbar. the channel changed." Pope explained.
"no shit" JJ swam back over to the boat making his way towards Caroline, "you all right, baby?"
butterflies fluttered yet again hearing the nickname, he'd been calling her different things since the start of the summer. Caroline looked down at him slowly nodding, "still in once piece."
"ugh, this is probably gonna mess this whole place up." John B sighed looking at the water.
"hey i saved the beer, though" JJ smiled holding up the bottle.
"congrats, JJ."
a small laugh left Caroline's lips rubbing the back of her neck moving it around making sure she was okay. she sighed walking over to Pope looking over at what he was looking, her eyes widened seeing a boat.
"guys.. i think there's a boat down there" Pope said, Caroline agreeing with him by nodding her head.
"shut up, what?" John B mumbled.
"no way" Kie added.
"no, no guys. he's serious, there's a boat down there." Caroline quickly took off her shorts tossing them aside leaving her in her pastel blue bikini.
"it's a boat!" Pope exclaimed, Caroline jumped in the water followed by everyone else.
the five Pogues swam down towards the boat checking it out. Caroline wondered how the hell a boat got to the marsh during a hurricane. after exploring what they could, the five all swam up wiping the water from their eyes.
"you guys saw that right?" JJ asked in excitement, everyone agreed still in shock and laughing.
"that's a Grady-White." Caroline swam back to the HMS.
"a new one of those is like 5000 G's, easy, thats a primo rig." JJ explained climbing back onto the boat followed by his friends.
"yeah. that's the boat i saw when i surfed the surge." John B mentioned looking at the others, "maybe it hit the jetty it something"
