Bound for Aquilaria

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41436

"Of course, much depends on the wind," Haljon went on. "Though the storm was from the north-west, we are now in latitudes where the prevailing winds are normally from the east. That's why I favour the option of heading for Aquilaria. It's true that by tacking we can travel even against the wind, but travelling directly downwind is fastest, and that's important if we aren't to risk running out of drinking water. Also Aquilaria will offer us good trading opportunities. It should also be a good destination for you three."

"That sounds good to us," Thelma said. "Thanks you for taking the trouble to explain it to us."

  1. A week or so later they make landfall in Aquilaria.
  2. Most unusually, the wind blows continually from the west for days on end. Eventually, the captain decides that he will have to give up on Aquilaria.
  3. A day later, a small boat is spotted by the lookout. Out in the open ocean, it can only be a lifeboat from some ship that has been sunk by the recent storm.
