Edwin hurried on, swimming frantically towards the finish line. One boat had already passed it and the rest were surely catching up, but- oh, had the clouds suddenly drifted over the sun? He turned his head to check.

Nope. Nope. That was the shadow of a big dumb boat.

He opened his mouth to yell, but the sound gurgled out in the water as the Carrington boat charged ahead and pushed him under.
