migrating swallow

me and my family were recently sailing our boat across the ionian sea and we were over 100 miles from the nearest land. suddenly a migrating swallow crossed the stern of the boat and landed on the mid ship. at first it seemed to just land breifly and then fly off but as we watched this angel of the sky fly off we saw it turn back and battle hard against the wind to re-approach the boat and land once again. this was repeated a couple more times before it landed on a seat and closed its eyes as if it wanted to just sleep and rest. clearly it was exhausted form its migration. it then flew inside the boat which is when my sister went down to retreive it. the poor swallow seemed to exhausted to move but seemed also to trust us in a way. pictured here is that very swallow sat happily on my hand before it hoped onto my other sleeping sisters upper body and also went to sleep for what ended up being several hours. it must have soo tired to act like this. we think our boat saved that swallows life as we were so far out at sea when the swallow found us
