The ship has docked. But the sail is not stretched.
"Why is that, Captain Sparrow?" asked Elisa.
"Because that will only slow down our travel."
A question mark icon appeared above Elisa's head.
The purpose of a sail on a ship is to catch the wind and propel the ship across the water.
"But the Southwest stream is unique. The water flows towards the north. But the wind is heading south."
The explanation was too simple for a complex question for Elisa to understand.
To clarify, Mike licked the index finger of his right hand, then pointed up.
Elisa did that on reflex too, and her finger could feel the wind blowing hard southward.
"Wow! But how?"
"The real question is, why?"
They won't be able to answer that 'how' question. Because Abyssal Terra is a world created by Abyssal God. And they won't be able to know unless they ask the god directly.
"We are near the stream."
