Captain Plankbeard was clutching his ship's wheel, -actually a foam letter 'O'- twisting and turning it with great effort. The mighty winds threatened to tear his plucky little ship asunder; she just wasn't built for hurricanes like this! The sea was a harsh mistress indeed, and Garret was in need of a more durable ship. In the meantime, he would have to either abandon ship or steer it ashore.
Garret swung the wheel to port, attempting to ride with the storm. It dragged him towards one of the other kids, the girl with dark curly hair; Cassila.
"Land ho!" Garret shouted just as the winds tore his sails. He jumped and dropped the wheel, then approached Cassila and asked, "Ahoy there! Do you let pirates ashore on your lands? My ship's been wrecked."
