The Zoe approached Cape Melville with the freshening breeze on its beam.

‘Weather’s turning dirty,’ said Sam loudly to Nanda, who didn’t care.

The lugger rolled, and Sam was suddenly drenched. The crew laughed, the tension broken, happy to be facing the weekend.

Sam held on to a shroud and told the sick diver that he didn’t like the way the weather was turning at all.

Willie tried whistling. They passed another lugger riding the swell. He expected to see the masts of the Vision coming up from the south, but there was no sign.

The sea was now uniformly grey and inscrutable. Willie took a bearing as they headed towards the bony finger of Boulder Rocks jutting out from the cape.

Sam told the Japanese diver, ‘They’re all hoping for shelter behind the cape.’ He was looking around at the hazy sky. ‘But I tell you, mate, don’t get your hopes up.’

‘All right, just shut up now,’ Willie yelled to him.

They passed the rocks with little leeway and glided smoothly into the relative calm of Bathurst Bay.

‘Maybe we can catch some fish for tea,’ Willie said. ‘Can we get some lines over the side while we’re still moving?’

Sam said that he had never wanted to eat fish less.
