Take a moment to reflect on some of the tasks you completed this leg of the trip. You climb up to the crow's nest and have a look across the horizon. You see a cruise ship in the distant northwest. You must be close to getting back to Florida, you should check with the Captain to find out if you're in the Carribean Sea.
