61. Ahoy Ahoy. Sophie opens the last section of the book with a journal entry announcing that she and Cody spotted land—the coast of Ireland. Cody then writes his own log entry (Land) about his experience of seeing land. He says he thought he was hallucinating when he first saw Ireland.
Finally, after their hardships out on the open ocean, the crew can finally see land—an end to their dangerous journey is finally within reach. Cody’s belief that he is hallucinating highlights his shock at seeing land after previously thinking he was going to die at sea.
