This has to make it into an SF novel one of these days.

That'll be "Waterworld" by Lee Goodloe & Jerry Oltion, which was the cover story of the March 1994 Analog.

("Lee Goodloe" is a nom de plume of Stephen L. Gillett)

You can also read a bit about water worlds in Gillett's World-Building, if you have a copy.

Was it any good?

<shrug> it's been over a decade. I remember I quite liked it.

Thanks. That's just made it into The Jennifer Morgue as back story.

Didn't Alan Dean Foster's _Cachalot_ have a similar idea?

first waterworld book I read was Heinlein's, hmm, _Time for the Stars_? or something like that. I think I read it about 25 years or more ago - It had spacemen being menaced by sea monsters on the cover...
