Sandy drew near the raft and before she could even think to ask a man with short blond hair pulled her aboard and said

[colour=seagreen]"Welcome aboard, soldier."[/colour] He said, pressing two fingers to his temple and saluting. [colour=seagreen]"I take it you weren't mercilessly ravaged by the big scary dolphin?"[/colour]


Sandy laughed a little because she still felt silly for reacting to a dolphin as if it were a shark and because of it her mind was still working at high speed so she answered.

[color=dodgerblue]Well I think it was a girl dolphin so I was safe from any bad intentions and after Weymouth issued a warning to beware of amorous dolphins I admit I was worried about being Ravaged[/color]

Then she heard Aidan say 

[b][color=00a99d]“So are we supposed to follow those? Or just go straight over there...”[/color][/b] as he pointed towards a strange Island that was off to the right of the raft adding [b][color=00a99d]“It’s as if...it simply appeared.”[/color][/b]

Sandy began studying the Island until she found to points she could use as reference knowing that ocean currents could easily block them from making the island no matter how hard they paddled; the Pacific was dotted by islands that could only be approached on certain points of their coast and some not at all.

It was then that she remembered her grandmother’s Compass that she wore on a chain around her neck. It wasn’t a very accurate device made more to appeal to ladies of the Victorian set who were enamored of the Adventurers and Explorers of their time but she could use the markings to measure the angles of bearing to see if they were in a current. 

She was no navigator but she knew how to do this because it was a simple application of trigonometry and the measuring of angles and watching for any unusual shifts that favored one side of her zero-point over the other then she dropped it back into her shirt to protect it till she a little time passed.
