summarize pages 60-65

On pg. 60, the perspective returns to Isabel as she carries the boat to the water. She thinks, “Nothing was more important than making it to Florida” (60). On the beach they see a crowd, including CNN and a reporter. They also see many boats and rafts. Once on the boat they start to push away but see two police officers running towards them. Papi starts to yell that they are coming for him, but when they get to the boat Ivan and his father pull them in and Isabel realizes they are Ivan’s brother and his girlfriend, in their police uniforms escaping. They are shot at by other police, since police are not allowed to be deserters. They turn on the engine but start to argue, worried that they will be chased with police officers in the boat, but Isabel is mostly worried about the gunshot hole now in the side of the boat, leaking water into it.
