A tragically hilarious Florida story - in four parts.

Some people think they are built for the life on the water, but in reality, they often aren't. They could have a plethora of cheesy signs throughout their home with various lake-and-ocean-related phrases, and it really doesn't mean anything until it's time to really live life on the water.

That's especially true at the boat ramp.

For the uninitiated, the boat ramp is where the pros and amateurs are separated. It's all fun and games once you get out on the water, but first, you have to tackle the beast that is a subtly...

Marlin are powerful game fish that occasionally leap into boats, creating hazardous situations.
The accompanying footage, shared via Instagram by Chasing Nature, shows a hooked blue marlin soaring over a yacht’s stern and flooring deckhand Thomas Arendall.
“Fishing can be a dangerous game,” Chasing Nature’s Jonathan Schell stated, adding that Arendall was not seriously injured.
The chaotic scene unfolded last week in the Gulf of Mexico aboard the Jubilee.

Footage shows the estimated 300-pound marlin leaping beyond the stern as a different deckhand tugs on the leader. The marlin then flies over the rail and slams into Arendall’s upper body, knocking him down.
One commenter observed: “An inch away from getting stabbed in the jugular. Count your blessings mate.”
Schell told FTW Outdoors that Arendall “got scratched up on his back and had about an inch-deep, 2- to 3-inch laceration on his forearm.”
The Jubilee was fishing out of Orange Beach, Alabama, and the marlin broke the line and swam free after flopping back into the water.
As Schell noted, the catch was “official” once the other deckhand had grabbed the leader.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Boat strikes can be devastating to all manner of sea life. Whales, for example, are often identified by scars caused by ship propellors, but it’s tough to tell how, exactly, those injuries affect whatever poor thing was hit. And for the first time ever, researchers have recorded video of a basking shark being struck by a boat.
