One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Part by Ken Kesey 3 chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Men get to the dock, and they are all getting excited, there is a problem however. The girl Sandy, who didn’t show up, was the one who had the waver, so the captain is refusing to let the men get onto the ship they rented. The other ship hands on the boat take a look at the group of patients, and eventually notice Candy and start jeering at her. McMurphy offers to call the proper authorities from the boat house to sort the situation out, and both he and the captain head in to make the call, leaving the patients, the doctor, and Candy out by themselves. The Boat Hands’ heckling gets more aggressive towards Candy, but the men have lost their swagger now that McMurphy has gone away. All of the men feel a huge wave of guilt wash over them, and Candy walks as far away from the group as possible. McMurphy comes out of the boat house very quickly and tells the men to get into the boat while the captain finalises the details on the phone. He calls to George to stat the engine, while McMurphy starts to untie the ropes. As soon as the boat is ready to set off, the door of the bait shop slams open and the captain steams out towards the boat. McMurphy is stealing the boat…The men set out to sea, and McMurphy and Candy head inside the boat to “check for leaks.” After the men get past the jetty, a wave of calm passes over Chief Bromden, and after a mile or so, the men start to set out their fishing lines. George pushes the boat out to sea “where the real fish are,” and after an hour Sefelt’s fishing pole starts to pull. The men weren’t all planning on fishing, but after seeing Sefelt’s line snap, all of the men want to have a go. The men have the most fun that they have had in years, and everyone but the Doctor has caught a fish, but he has been fighting with one for what seems like hours. It’s a giant Flounder, and it’s going to require all of the men to help bring it in.The men eventually start to head back to shore, and once in, they have a brief fight with the sea captain, but eventually the tension fades, and they all sit around drinking and telling stories until it is time to head back to the hospital…
