They set off, in the end, at mid-morning; enough time to wash away the evening before, to dress and drink enough coffee to carry them past the day's zenith, by which time Jack hopes to have located the little floating prison where Hotaru had whisked her daughter away.

There's little point asking Flora if anything looks familiar; not only had she been asleep for almost her entire encounter aboard the houseboat, but the ocean does tend to look a bit samey to most.
