So what do you say, kiddo? Can you help a friend out? Approximately 11, words. For pirates, mermaids, and undersea explorers of all ages. In the middle of a storm, ill with severe food poisoning, he blacked out. When he came to, he found himself in the raging sea, sixty miles from shore. As Brett saw the lights of his boat disappearing into the darkness, it became clear that no one had seen him fall, and that no one would hear his shouts for help.
