Billy Joe tried to do just that. As I went in to poke my large, pointed nose into the man’s skiff, a Portuguese man-of-war came along. I panicked and quickly let go of the bait and instead of drowning the man hid under the cover of his small and powerless boat. The jellyfish left and I began to taunt the man once more.
