Chapter 12: Aunt Bev is preparing food for the Andersens and Dad reveals
that Felix has cerebral palsy and they all pity him and his parents. It is a
windy day and Dad wonders if it is a good day to sail but then Mr.
Andersen makes his way towards the boat followed by Mrs. Andersen and
Felix. They all get on the boat and Kara notices that Felix's knuckles are
turning white and a twinge of guilt runs through her. Felix lurches
sideways as the first wave hits the side and Kara notices that he's a sickly
shade of green, as Kara helps him he yells at her but later listens to her.
Kara sees Dougie Evans and Jake in an orange ribbed inflatable and Jake
makes a loser sign, Kara's heart is beating fast because she remembers
the words that Jake said to her in the school cafeteria.“Soon you and your
dad will have nothing left.”
Chapter 13: Two orange buoys popped up and destroyed their lobster pots and
they ended up in a wreck of smashed up wicker. It was Jake and his father who did
that, Kara suggested to call the police but dad said no, Moana sails roughly
through the water and then Felix throws up and whacks his head against
the deck. Dad orders Felix to sail and he agrees and a little hint of jealousy runs
through Kara. Dad teaches Felix how to sail the boat properly, and the
jealousy is still there in Kara. It turns out that Felix is really good at sailing
for a person who has never sailed in their life. Kara wants to go for a quick
swim and Mr. Andersen tells Felix to join her, he does so they jump in. She is
surprised that Felix can swim, they swim away,Kara sees a creature and
when they come back up to breathe she asks Felix if hesaw it too.
Chapter 14: Felix doesn’t see anything so he goes back down and finally
sees it and asks what it is, it's a cuttle fish.They observe it and then Felix
goes to touch it but the cuttlefish propel backwards and he is just left
there grabbing a black cloud of ink.They go back up to the boat and Mr.
Andersen and Dad ask them why they tookso long, they tell them about
the cuttlefish, and both Mr. Andersen and Dad jumpin to see them. Kara
tells Felix about the dredging ban and that the reef willprobably get
destroyed, Felix asks who Dougie Evans is and she tells him. Shealso tells
him why the ban was placed in the first place, about Aaron (DougieEvan’s
son) and about how Dougie tried to scam people.
Chapter 15: They sail back to the harbour and Kara feels as if the
white dolphin is swimmingright below them but instead all she sees is
the reflections of clouds skimming allover the water. Once they arrive, the
Andersens leave as Kara and Dad start totidy up Moana, Dad tells her that Mr.
Andersen will ring him once he has made hisdecision. They wait for an
hour for the tide to creep in so they can take Moanaback to her
mooring site, after the hour they take Moana back. Both of them
walkback to Aunt Bev’s home, Daisy is watching T.V and Aunt Bev is
knitting, Karahardly moves until the phone rings and dad picks it up. The
phone call was fromMr. Andersen saying that they won’t buy the boat anymore,
Kara can’t take thegrin o of her face as she is happy that Moana is still
