Alex looks up at the position of a life boat and replies, "I was 
thinking about the idea of taking a life boat. When we get to thios 
'Dublin', could they not hand us as pirates? It could even be said 
without too much trouble that we are pirates."

Alex takes off her helmet for a moment and has awry smile. She asks with 
an attempt at humor, "I though you would doggy paddle." It sounds like 
she is more or less trying to break the tension. She states after a 
moment, "I can swim reasonable well but almost drowned before being 
picked up myself so I cannot see us swiming."

Alex looks for a long slim line, like what might be used for a life 
ring. Once she grabs one, she slides her helmet back on and ties teh 
line around her waist. She figures that it will allow her to get back to 
teh ship.
She then jumps into the water after him.
