Chapter 7

It’s Turtle’s first day working for Slow Poke and when he asks if she can swim she lies. She arrives on the boat and meets Ollie, the new first mate and they sail out to the spot they’re looking for sponges. On the way there Turtle pretends she’s Terry Lee and Slow Poke goes along with the fun. During this time Turtle starts asking questions to Slow Poke about topics ranging from where he’s been to what happened to his old first mate. Slow Poke asks a few questions of his own, mostly about Turtle’s mother.

As they arrive to the spot they are searching for sponges Turtle is given Slow Poke’s hat as he wants to keep the sun from burning her and they go out on a small dingy to search for sponges...
