As the swimmers approached the boat, Hande went to the main deck.
Oni told her not to give the flags to everyone individually, but to arrange them on the back landing which is only a few inches above the water level. In that way, whoever reaches the boat can grab a flag and resume swimming, and Hande's job will be to fill in the gaps.
Hande was disappointed that she didn't get a good look at Ade on the screens, but she knew that she would see him when he comes to get the flag and she was excited about it.
She was gazing toward the swimmers and it was obvious that not many are taking this seriously as a competition in speed.
