Answers
Answer:
The narrator was a married man with two children who had set sail from Plymouth, England to duplicate the round-the-world voyage made 200 years earlier by Captain James Cook. He was a 37 year old businessman who with his wife Mary had dreamt of sailing in the wake of the famous explorer and for the past 16 years had spent all their leisure time honing their seafaring skills in British waters until their boat Wave walker was ready. The captain of the ship who is the narrator of the story was a courageous man who defines what a man can do with perseverance and dedication when push comes to shove. The narrator had hurt himself when a tremendous explosion shook the deck of his ship and he smashed his head into the wheel when a huge wave broke over the ship. He was flung overboard and found himself sinking below the waves. He thought death was approaching him and he lost consciousness. The narrator felt that his death was imminent and he saw that his boat was going to capsize with her masts horizontal and it was flooded with water. The impact of the waves on the narrator had nearly led him to believe that he was dying and to accept that fact with composure. However,the thought of his family's survival pulled him back and he fought really hard until he had brought them all to safety. He loved his family, especially his two children who were already exhibiting signs of possessing their father's indomitable courage and resilience.
