Just a few of these organisms include dolphins, sharks, turtles, and other fish in many assortments. They even caught some of these organisms including some sharks! Thor states, "...Later we caught shark after shark by the same method, and every time it went just as easily." Another discovery made was that they have a "garden" filled with a plethora of edible barnacles and seaweed. Plankton is also used as food and as a source of entertainment. The voyage continues on the track without a hitch or problem.
