The Great Wide Sea Chapter 16 Summary

  • Dylan's been playing doctor. For the first few days, Dad just sleeps all the time. By week two, he's improved a lot.
  • By week three, he's improved even more. Still not enough to use the speargun, though. That cut must have been deep.
  • Dad mentions to Ben that he's ready to move on. This time, it's more of a consultation than an order.
  • Gerry's been spending more time in the water. He still hasn't learned to swim, but it's progress.
  • After some travel time, the family makes it to a new island: Pigeon Cay.
  • Gerry gives Ben a plastic car. Ben had forgotten that it's his own birthday. He's sixteen.
