An Adjusted Course
They still had half an hour to go when Cliff replaced Mallory on the wheel. He realized that they needed to adjust their course if they wanted to get to the shore even sooner. After all, they did not have a single clue if the fox was going to be fine for a long time. They wanted to get medical attention right away.
Terrified & Tired
When the boat got hit by a sudden wave, the animal woke up in alarm. Clearly, it was tired and terrified at the same time. They gave it some food in the form of the catch they made. Hopefully, the fox was going to feel better after it ate some food and regained its strength.
