The small boat struggled against the increasingly violent waves, coming dangerously close to capsizing several times.

The skipper's face was etched with concentration as he gestured frantically to Keith.

It was then that Elysia realized the skipper was mute; he was using sign language to communicate with Keith, indicating that the wind was getting stronger and a heavy rain was imminent. Continuing their journey on the small boat would be perilous.
