I am the Authors and Friends of the crew on the captain's ship. I think we should limit the power of the captain, only to a point where he can correct his crew, but not to a point where he can damage the crew members too much.
    An example would be, that if a crew member has been lacking his work while others are working there heads off, they should be punished. An example of a punishment would be working extra for a week, BUT the captain can't make the punished crew member do the captains work OR make him do too much work, which makes not an answer.
    The only time a captain could grip his whip is when the crew goes bonkers and throws the jewels

    Oceanographers need water to do their job, because oceanographers study the ocean, its water, and the environment that surrounds it. Since oceanographers study an oceans water, they would need water to study it. Oceanography covers  marine life, too. Oceanographers are scientists who study the sea, and seas have plentiful water. Some oceanographers go on the surface of water. Oceanographers study marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. Oceanography is the study of the deep sea and shallow coastal oceans. Oceanography helps marine life stay alive, so we can use them as a food source, and so that they can keep making families, so ,marine life won't become extinct.Oceanographers aim their work at both practical problems and basic scientific discovery.

Q1 Answer:: My life without water would be tough, because I bathe in it, shower in it drink it, and our body is like 75% water ( I think). It would be dangerous because you would dehydrate quickly. Water is used a lot  around the world.
Q2 Answer:: The lives of animals & plants would be RUINED, because animals drink water, they can't just drink Motts® Apple juice! Plants wouldn't live longer than 1 and 1/2 of a week without water also. Animals also can dehydrate like humans, too.

 I think people like Corrine should talk n a pace that everybody can clearly hear.

Dakota and Ryan have great words on their Google Doc., but they might have a better one if they had website links, and po

    SOUND: The sound of the water when it was poured into Marty's cup was soothing. It wasn't too loud, nor was it too quiet, although it was quiet. The noise got louder as got poured into Marty's cup, almost like it was getting closer to me. I could hear the water most when it first made contact with the water in Marty's cup, and when the last droplets hit the water in his cup.
    VISUAL: When I blew into the cup, the water made a ripple effect, making tiny waves connected in a circle, going outwards. When I shook the table, the water made a tiny wave, small enough for a fly to surf on it. When poured water into another cup, bubbles formed from the bottom.
    SMELL: When I smelled the water, I felt of a moment pureness and refreshment, and I felt like I woke up in a second.
    TASTE: I took a sip out of the clear cup with a good refreshment of clear I felt as if I were at the beach with blue skies and oceans.
    TOUCH: After touching the pure and clear water, I realized how cold it really was. When I tasted the water, I only felt water, not COLD water, but after touching it I was surprised.

    ICE: Ice was more solid than water, and it was at least 5times as cold as water. water was cold although.
WATER VAPOR: Water vapor didn't make my hand AS wet, but it still did make my hand wet. It smelled bad and tasted bad.

    My connection with water involves some of my Mom screaming...so be prepared. After I came from school, my Mom told me to wash my hands, so I could have my snack. I really wasn't paying attention, because I only turned on the cold water, without the hot water, so I had freezing cold water pouring out of the brown faucet. For some reason, I didn't realize that ICE COLD water was coming out. The next thing I forgot to do, was dry my hands, so my hands were freezing cold, AND wet. I went to hug my Mom. Yep, you guest what would happen next. "Scream!!!!!!" screamed my Mom. The moment she felt my hands she went bonkers.
    So that is my connection with water.
