You know, until you get to the end of the story.

And this was good luck.

This was good luck because the wind was quite strong, but the raft couldn't get away from the Lucette because she was tied to the Lucette.

Right?

So we could all get to it.

We could all get to the raft because the raft would have been blown up in.

Plus, the dinghy was over the side.

But there was a bit of confusion in the after deck with my mother and my brothers and getting life jackets on.

You know, I mean, you can't blame me.

Everybody was waking up.

You know, Robin had been woken from a deep sleep.

And the twins were, you know, they were doing what they were told to.

grabbing Sandy had a bag of onions that my mother had given him, and they put life jackets on, and Neil had rescued their puppets, their teddy bears.

He wanted to make sure that they survived.

And Robin, being unfamiliar, he was a student, he'd joined us in Panama, never been to sea before.

He put his foot down on the gunwale of the dinghy and sank it.

So we now have a sunken dinghy.

a raft that was inflating, and killer whales swimming around in the water around us.

And the Lucette had come head up into the wind and stopped, but she was still upright, but she was sinking fast.

Dougal shouted across to Robin, make for the life raft, make for the life raft.
