Summary

Zach helps Poppy to come aboard, sending her to the front while he helped to balance in the middle. Alice unties the lines while Zach tries to remember everything he’s read about sailing. As soon as the lines are untied, Pearl begins to drift from the dock and Alice jumps aboard. Within a minute or so she is laughing despite her earlier despair that they wouldn't honor their promise to go home with her. Zach understood the theory of the principles of sailing, but they sit in the water spinning with the current as he orients himself. Still angry, Alice avoids Poppy.

At that moment, Zach is happy despite everything going on. He is on a ship called the Pearl, the captain of his destiny. They begin to get a handle on her, carving more and more speed until Zack slows them down...
