Journal 10

So far the battle between the three and Jaws has gone on much longer than in the movie for sure, now being several days in on their big fishing trip with no radio to use and little resources for fighting the beast. The three are getting much more intense and uneasy with each other, especially after Quint smashed the radio so Brody couldn't call for help. To make matters worse right after the smashing of the radio, Jaws returned for some more fun before being chased several minutes until being attached with another barrel/tracker or two. Thinking their chances just got better as they tied the rope to the stern so they'd keep track of Jaws, things actually got worse when it started to drag the boat backwards causing it to fill with more water before it eventually flooded the engine. After attaching a third barrel while still being pulled, Quint got his machete out to cut the ropes but just before he could do so, Jaws ripped the cleat's right off the boat's stern. Now with almost no hope the three must fight off the shark as it seems to not be settling down one bit and their boat is slowly disappearing under sea.
