ANSWER:
As the Wavewalker (the ship) was badly damaged by the hard hitting waves, it was not possible for the ship to make it to Australia and so captain changed the plan.
EXPLANATION:
According to the chapter “we are not afraid to die if we all can be together”, the narrator or the captain of the ship was a young businessman and daring explorer, inspired by great captain ‘James Cook’. So he went on an expedition round the world with a ship named ‘Wavewalker’, his wife and two children. Later on they were accompanied by two helpers.
Captain sailed to the tip of South Africa and headed for towards the east but fate here changed. The weather became foul as waves rose very high and a very strong and high wave hit the ship and damaged it dreadfully.
Due to this worse condition of the ship, captain changed the plan to reach Australia.
