Sawfish

The sawfish is a flying fish that likes to race with sailing ships. In order to win it will sometimes steal the wind from the ship's sails. One sailor points at the sawfish, while the other points forward with one hand and down toward the sea with the other, perhaps indicating the ship is being impeded.
