A Paragraph - Water Lapped

I don't know what this will be. I just wanted to write it tonight:

Water lapped at the boat as it held its position right there in the beginning of the Gulf with the barrier islands and brackish water behind them. The men moved around the boat mixing drinks without spilling despite the rocking from the Gulf waves bouncing to and from the first land they had ever encountered. The boy sat at the very tip of the bow of the boat with his feet dangling over the side hoping for the saltwater to splash on him some as he looked out into the Gulf and wondered what it would be like to hop off and just start swimming out into all of that wide open water.
