A Bridge to Wiseman

When Carl was told to start working by his Aunt Beryl, he landed himself a job working on a barge, taking passengers from Wattle beach to Wiseman’s Cove. The captain of this barge was Skip Duncan, it wasn’t until now that Carl realized what a bad name the Matt’s had obtained…

Twenty years before hand, Carl’s grandfather, Des Matt, had deliberately run down, Skip and his only

. . .
Eventually Joy and Skip asked if Harley wanted to go live with them. It was lucking to, as if Carl hadn’t starting working for the barge, then it would have gone broke.

Skip was reluctant at first to give Carl the job, but with some quiet persuading from Joy, his wife, he soon came around.

It wasn’t long until Joy and Harley started to spend quite a lot of time together, as Harley was getting into strife at school and Carl couldn’t take care of him when ever he got suspended. It wasn’t until she realized that she would still be getting the child-support money, that she let him go. He was now free and ready to go out and be a better, more confident person. Finding out that his mother was dead gave him that reassurance and Carl moved in with Duncan’s as well. When Bruce found out about the bridge being built from Wattle Beach to Wiseman’s Cove, he gave up on both his businesses and left town. Beryl was invited to go with him, at first she said “no”, but then she figured ‘why not’. The whole community got behind Skip and his family, therefore every single Matt has been a cruel hearted person, in the town’s opinion.

Bruce Telfro offered Carl a job in his tow truck company, but Carl refused to take it, much to Beryl’s dismay. Beryl immediately thought that Harley would be the replacement for the son that Des Matt had taken away from them 20 years before, so she straight away objected to it. Bruce only wanted Carl to work for him as he was part owner of the other barge and because Carl was keeping Skip’s barge alive, the only way to make Skip’s barge to go broke was, to get rid of Carl.
