Just Drifting Is OK

There wasn't much time left, but the very determined driver, Mike Barr was almost at the clinic. He could "feel" just how close the situation was. A very literal life and death race against time.

But the unknown passenger was still back out on the water. That's what he thought. That's the way it seemed. The sea was pretty calm once again, but it was cold. He believed he was in the bottom of the inflatable kayak. He was now and then aware of the water that sloshed back and forth all the time, but for the most part he didn't really notice it that much. He was a bit depressed, once again. He had been before, a couple of days earlier, but had managed to right himself and then felt much better for a while. But now he was sinking again and not really trying to help himself. He had so little energy to begin with, but even if he had felt stronger, he didn't see the point. He was OK with just laying in the bottom of the small boat and drifting.
