The Boy At The House (9)

The motor that drives Gina's dad's boat is white and it says "Evinrude 10" on it. The boat is dark brown and smells tar. Now the whole Bible Gang is gushing forward over the sea in the boat. Richard instructs them where to go.

To be sure, the kids had told their parents they might camp out this night. Having done it so many times before and having come safely back, their parents usually allow them. But they always add "Now remember to listen to Daniel".

After about half an hour the gang approach a cape covered with trees.
"Drive around that cape and you will see it", says Richard.
"Is... he there now?" Paula asks.
"I don't know." "But actually, what do you have in mind doing?"
"Maybe it's best that we turn off the motor", says Daniel and turns it off. So far they don't see any house or anything else interesting because of the cape that is in the way.
"We have to take forward the old oars", says Dilan. "We've used them before!" he says and smiles at Richard.
Dilan and Luke prepares for the rowing and soon they have started. The oar forks squeak a little.
"Shouldn't we have some kind of plan?" Gina wonders.
