After crossing the open waters of the Pacific, the crew was ready for a less tumultuous process of the journey that was to be an exploration of predefined and anticipated beauty. The mountains that surrounded the cove provided a sense of greatness that only the eye could digest, and the soul could affirm. With no uncertainty and with confidence, the process of acknowledgment was now confirming the existence of something far more greater than the senses of human and spiritual comprehension.

The captain then set the drift alarm with its parameters, so that in case the vessel drifted out of the established arena, it would alarm the crew of the position in jeopardy and the crew could then adjust or make changes necessary to maintain the anchor of the vessel.
