After bidding farewell to Ms. Anna, Link jumped from the deck into the sea for a swim.
Sasaki Nozomi watched from the deck for a while before exhaling softly and jumping in after him.
Her swimming skills were decent, with slender legs that made for an attractive sight, but her stamina was limited, and soon she became too exhausted to swim on. Link took her to dive under the sea, trying to emulate the actions from a adult movie.
After several attempts, which weren't quite satisfying, they returned to the yacht.
Having spent a few days at sea, most of his concerns were evaporated by the sun, and he regained some spirit.
By late March, he flew back to New York.
Nozomi stayed in Miami. In early March, a magnitude nine earthquake struck the northeast Pacific region of Japan, leading to a leak of radioactive materials from two nuclear power plants in Fukushima, causing panic among the Japanese people.
