>look at map (we know the way but let's try just to know if we do have a map)
There is a map in the berth.
You open the hatch and climb down into the berth.
You grab the nautical charts stowed above the navigation table and lay them out with paperweights.
The charts indicate no obstructions between the marina and the island.
Also, the island marina is on the near side of the island, so you don't have to circle the island.
>set course for island
Given your position outside the marina, it is simple to plot a course to the island. Only one course leg is required.
Using a protractor and a ruler with the chart, you come up with a bearing.
You now have a bearing, and given wind speed and direction, you compute a heading to get to the island.
>estimate time of arrival
At hull speed, it should take about 1.5 hours to get just outside the island marina.
You roll up the nautical charts and put them away.
You climb out of the berth and close the hatch.
You steer the boat towards your new heading.
>use sunscreen
You put on some sunscreen.
>look at engine
It is an old low-power outboard motor with a forward/reverse lever.
It has a throttle, and it has a mechanism to hold a constant throttle so you don't have to hold onto it all the time.
It is steerable, and it has a mechanism to hold it straight so you don't have to hold onto it all the time.
There is no fuel guage.
There is a filler for fuel and an oil dipstick.
It has electric start and, you recall, a really old battery.
The cover is screwed on with screws.
>look at phone
No reception so far from shore. No new messages or anything.
>look at wallet
Stashed in the wallet are a couple hundred dollars and miscellaneous plastic cards.
