Sandy Shores

The swim out to the crescent shaped island was not long however, the water was choppy. Luckily, Calico Jack has been swimming in the ocean since the day he could leave his home den and that meant he is a strong swimmer. Plus, if he ducked underneath the waves, the water calmed significantly. By the time the pair reach the white sandy beaches, Remus appears to have struggled more with the swim and the boy is barely winded. Oops, maybe Calico should have shared his secret about diving underneath the water.

Jack easily steps from the water, staying far enough from Remus that, when he shakes out his coat, he avoids most of the flying water and sand. The boy follows suit, sending droplets of ocean water every which way. Looking to Remus, the boy nods his acknowledgement at the words while he tilts his head to try and rid his ears of excess water. The man looks at the foliage in front of them and comments about the shape of the island just as Calico finishes ridding his other ear of water. One more shake and the boy is satisfied that he has gotten most of the water out.

Looking to Remus, the boy says, “It seems like the shape of the island helps to buffer this inner cove area from the rough waters around it. Look how still the water is.” A paw lifts to point at the flat water further in the cove as he muses, “I bet this would be a great place to go fishing.” Jack turns his icy blue gaze back to Remus and the dense foliage that lays further ahead. A smirk appears on his lips and he asks, “We going in?” Eyes dance with excitement as he looks ahead of them.
