Panel 1 [Long shot showing the Valor on a flat sea, her sails limp and sagging without wind. The sun beats down]

Panel 2 [In the captain’s cabin, Barzillai is tying his cravat as Adelaide is tucking the loops of her braids into her bun, looking at her reflection in a small circular mirror]

BARZILLAI:
Seas are dead calm today. It’ll delay our time to the cruising grounds.

ADELAIDE:
At least it’s given us seasick folk a chance to recover.

Panel 3 [Closer shot of Barzillai speaking as he shrugs on his jacket.]

BARZILLAI:

Best get an oar in everyone’s hands while all is still quiet. Make sure they know how to row so we’re not unprepared.

Panel 4 [Adelaide straightening to look away from the mirror as Barzillai looks on, smiling slightly. Adelaide is drawing a shawl over her shoulders.]

ADELAIDE:
Will you be splitting the practice by watches?

BARZILLAI:
You’re learning the rhythm of this place quickly. Yes.

Panel 5 [Barzillai steps out the cabin door, looking over his shoulder at Adelaide as she ties her bonnet]

ADELAIDE:
In that case, I’ll take the opportunity to introduce myself to whoever is left on deck first.

BARZILLAI:
I suppose it's as good a time as any.

    At least they’re becalmed early while they still have plenty of provisions.
    “Water, water everywhere and all the boards do shrink…” and all that.
