I have many questions about what is going on right now in the book. I don’t understand what the argument was about when he was fighting with himself about putting the oars out. I don’t understand why he didn’t, and I don’t understand why he had wanted to in the first place. It is to dangerous to rig the oars as a drag if you must sleep.
