As Powell dines at a riverside inn, he has a conversation with another yachtsman named Powell, which makes him think deeply about what it means to follow his seafaring dreams and the importance of doing his duty. Soon after, he looks for a job on a ship called the "Ferndale", feeling both excited and worried as he stands at the door of an uncertain future, teaching us about how people deal with life's randomness.
