IT’S a fish, no it’s a person, no it’s a...mermaid. If you happen to be staring down into the ocean from onboard your next cruise and spot a fish shaped person, you may in fact be looking at the women’s longboard champion, Mischa Davis. Davis fessed up to media earlier this month that when she is not hitting the surf on her board, she is swimming in the ocean in her custom-made mermaid outfit. The suit is out of wetsuit material complete with free diving fins. ‘’Watching surfing from underneath the water gives you a whole new understanding and appreciation of waves,” Davis said. “It also helps e hold my breath when surfing in big sets because I can pretend I’m a mermaid wearing my fin,” she added. GET onboard! Rather than beating down court-room doors or stalking out his home, many Italian citizens are choosing humour to express their anger at the disgraced Captain of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, snapping up a new line of tshirts which sport the words "Vada a Bordo, Cazzo”. The line is taken from the now world famous conversation between the Harbour Master Gregorio De Falco and Schettino, where Falco ordered the latter to get out of his life-raft and back onto Concordia to coordinate rescue and relief efforts, and translates to “Get back onboard, damn it”. Now a national hero, Falco has played down his heroics telling media he was just doing his job. GET onboard!

WATER monsters are real? A cameraman is claiming to have captured proof of the existence of the legendary Icelandic lake serpent Lagarfljót’s Worm, whilst filming at its supposed place of residence, the river Jökuls´ í Fljótsdal, in east Iceland. In parts of Northern Europe, the worm is held in the same kind of esteem as the Loch Ness Monster, and is mentioned in Icelandic legends as far back as 1345. Unfortunately for the cameraman, according to legend, sightings of the serpent are usually a bad omen. WATER monsters are real?

A British sculptor, Stuart Murdoch, is hoping to take the title of World’s Biggest Deck Chair for his six-tonne, eight and a half metre high chair creation. The sculpture could possibly be a ‘first’ for one of the new mega ships currently being dreamt up by cruise companies, however at present it has made its home on land in the seaside town of Bournemouth in the UK.

A 4.5-ton sea creature has washed up on a Chinese beach in Guangdong, but it is so decayed that researchers are having trouble identifying what it could have once been. Measuring longer than 17 metres, the sea creature was discovered by locals wrapped in fishing lines. It is suspected that the creature was caught by fishermen, but was too heavy to haul in, and so they cut their nets. According to a local media outlet, curious bystanders removed two teeth from the carcass, which measured just shy of two metres. Since its discovery hundreds of people have flocked to the beach to have a look. A BEAST FROM THE WATERY DEPTHS.
