- When Ben wakes up, Dylan (the middle brother) tells him that their dad has gone shopping for boat stuff.
- The boys call for a pizza. It seems like they're used to fending for themselves.
- Ben learns the name of their boat is the Chrysalis. He thinks that name is totally stupid.
- A little background on the boat trip: the boys' father just sprung it on them out of nowhere. He had the idea about two months after his wife died.
- He sold the family's house and everything. This has been a lot of upheaval in a very short time. No wonder everyone's so upset.
- The boys were taken by surprise by the whole "year on a boat" plan. They're not nearly as excited about it as their dad.
