*continues round*

*...somehow in beaming back from a hard day in the heat of RL, alec barely misses the deck landing and lands instead right on the end of the plank...after a very short delay he takes off again,
...he is able to see the circling sharks a short distance below him as he comes in for a second attempt, then a third,...
...in the ever briefer airborne moments, he is able to work out the length of the plank, his own body weight, and comes up with a pretty good figure for 'r' in milliseconds...*

and an exhausted alec is able to crawl the last few feet to safety.*

*sits down on the edge of the plank to rub his foot*

*slight cough*

Er, sorry, don't want to disturb, but Shea and I were just about to go for a swim. Do you mind?

*walks past tuc and goes out to the end of the plank, grabs Sheas hand and together they make a parallel swan dive into the ocean*

Now let's see if we can outswim those
