Jersey Bob was walking along a deserted stretch of the beach on his way back to the cabana when he saw her. At first all he could see was a spot of flaxen hair bobbing up and down in the sea. Then she cried for help.
Probably another tourist caught in the riptide, he thought as he ripped off his Hawaiian shirt and dove into the water. It took him only about three minutes to reach her. She went down for what could the the last time. He dove underwater and looked for her. Then he saw her. Naked as a jaybird. Yet another skinny-dipper caught in the rip.
He approached her from the back, wrapped his arm around her, grabbing her magnificent left breast. Definitely worth saving, this one, he thought. He turned toward the beach and paddled back to shore using his free arm. Because of the angle he had to take to avoid the rip it took the better part of ten minutes for him to reach the sand. He laid her down upon the beach and immediately began CPR.
When he pushed down on the center of her chest, water bubbled up from her mouth. He opened her mouth to check whether she had swallowed her tongue. Her tongue was actively trashing and he felt a strange tingle as it slid along his finger. As he withdrew his hand, he noticed her hair. Lovely, blond and sleeky. And dry.
