The Reef Page #2

The boat's f***ed.

I don't think it's gonna stay afloat.

And when we do sink, we're in the water,

just further from land.

- It mightn't sink.

- Well, is there an EPIRB?

- What's an EPIRB?

- A distress beacon. Yeah, there is.

Yeah, but it's an old one, so you need

a plane to fly over to get a signal.

- We're not in a flight path.

- How do you know that?

Seen any planes in the last few days?

OK, I'm not saying we should

try and swim to the mainland,

but I reckon

we could make Turtle Is land.

No.

- What are you doing?

- Point the 12 at the sun.

Split the angle between the 12

and the hour hand. That's north.

So, we're here, right?

Turtle Is land is here.

Now, we weren't going straight there,

because there's a reef here.

But with the current, I reckon

if we swim north, we'll hit the island.

- How far would we have to swim?

- Uh... 10, 12 miles.

Good luck.

I've fished these waters, mate.

I know what's out there.

I'm not getting in that water.

What makes you think

they're not gonna come here?

There's all sorts of sh*t

starting to rot.

I don't wanna argue with you, mate,

honestly I don't. I just...

I'm not getting in the water.

All right, look, yeah,

there might be sharks, I don't know.

What I do know

is that there's land over there

and the longer we sit here,

the further we get away from it.

We either swim for it

and try and save ourselves,

while we've still got enough strength,

or we can stay here

and hope the boat doesn't sink

and that someone comes for us.

And they'd better come soon, because

otherwise we'll die of dehydration.

I'm not a great swimmer.

I don't think I could swim that far.

Yeah, no. Me neither.

OK.

All right. I'll go down below and see

what I can find to keep us afloat.

You need a hand?

Yeah, if you're in the water,

I'll pass out whatever I find, yeah?

- You OK?

- Yeah.

- Here goes.

- OK.

Luke! Luke!

Hey, Luke! Luke!

Luke, mate, can you hear me?

There's something in the water.

Hey! Luke, quickly, get out! It's close!

Get out now! Get out!

Luke, there's something

in the water! Could be a shark!

Luke, come on! Hurry up!

Get out! Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Something broke the surface, over there.

- Well, what was it?

- I don't know, but it was big.

All right.

I've still got to find the EPIRB.

So unless you see a really big shark,

don't warn me.

See you soon.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Found it.

- You know how to kick it off?

- It's good, mate.

Yeah? OK, great.

Try that.

- For you.

- Thanks, mate.

- What? What's the matter?

- You'll look like a seal in that.

Sharks love seals.

Mate, you don't wanna come,

that's your business.
