One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was snorkeling in the Bahamas near some remote, uninhabited islands when I saw a Barracuda checking me out. I looked toward the land & toward the boat I came on & both were far away. I knew I couldn't out-swim him, so I decided not to be afraid and kept snorkeling--but kept my eye on him. He finally got bored & swam away. THEN I swam like crazy to the boat!
