Davey is on vacation with his family.  He is anxious to see the ocean for the first time.  He decides to sneak out of his family's hotel room and start exploring the island they are vacationing on.  Davey finds a quiet beach where he decides to wade in just a little bit.  Before he knows it, he has been swept farther away from the beach to an area where the current is stronger than his swimming ability. Will his family notice that he has gone missing before any ocean animals notice that he is floating alone in their ocean?
