I realized in that moment what Annekje had meant. She could indeed
help me escape and find Jamie. And now I understood how.
We were under quarantine and would therefore anchor on the unpopulated side of Grand Turk Island. Annekje had a plan. Her goats needed grass. As their milk was the only food keeping the men alive, she would be let off to feed them, along with the watering party.
And I would go with her.
