She was leaning over his shoulder, over the edge of the raft, one hand lifted to shade her eyes from the morning sun reflecting off the water. Sierra squinted. Yep, that was a body of land. She was sure of it. Glancing down at Scott she could see his eyes were open but they had a sleepy fog to them. Sierra gave his shoulder another shake then scrambled off him, leaning over the side of the raft to use her hands to propel them through the water toward land.
“Scott, come help. There’s land. Wake up. I need your help.”
Though being in the raft and trying to use her arms as paddles didn’t seem to be getting them anywhere. Her eyes measured the distance between the raft and shoreline. They were much too far out for her to be able to swim for land safely. She stopped and looked around the raft.
“Oars. Do we have any oars, Scott?”
She couldn’t remember the emergency briefing. Her mind scrambled to recall that day and she was coming up blank. Oars…oars… had there been anything said about them? Their raft bobbed on the water’s surface gently, hitting a little higher swell now and then but nothing too terribly bad.
