“Sailing back and forth against the wind is called tacking. If you do it right, you can actually go faster than the wind itself,” said Pearl as they sailed along.

“Faster than the wind?” said Jason. “That’s impossible.”

“No, that’s science,” said Amelia Bedelia.

The lessons continued as they sailed closer and closer to an island in the bay.

“Have you ever been to that island before, Pearl?” asked Amelia Bedelia.

“Nope,” said Pearl. “I’ve sailed around it in races, but I’ve never bothered to go ashore. Funny how you don’t usually do things right on your front doorstep.”

“Or on your starboard side,” said Amelia Bedelia.

“Very good,” said Pearl. “You’ll be a sailor in no time.”

Pearl pushed the tiller over and steered closer to the island for a better look.

Jason stood up. “LAND—WHOA!” The sailboat ran aground with a jolt, tossing him off the bow and into shallow water.

“Man overboard!” yelled Pearl.

“Where?” yelled Amelia Bedelia. “I only see Jason!”
