Carter is the first to awake the morning after the storm. The sky is clear, and everything is calm around him; he tries to remain calm too. Carter sees that the boat crashed into a rock face against a cliff, and he locates a shore to the left with sand and palm trees. The other three wake, stunned and wondering where they are. The memories of the crash start to come back, and they brainstorm ways to contact someone who can help them. Jane suggests trying the radio, but they find that it and everything else in the cabin is wet. Buzz goes to inspect the engine, which appears smashed; Carter tries to start it anyway, but nothing happens.
Vanessa tries the satellite phone, and it works but has little battery left. They reach Jane and Carter’s mom, who passes the phone to a man with the Coast Guard. He asks Vanessa to describe where they are, but she quickly realizes she doesn’t know and should have waited to call until they figured that out. Starts to panic and cry, she can only say that Dex planned to turn back at 900 miles, so they must be around that distance away.
