The journalists encountered a horrifying incident at sea on their first voyage, but they were not discouraged. They rented a more advanced cruise ship and set out to sea again, continuing to head toward Misty Island.
Unfortunately, when the journalists' cruise ship approached within 1000 nautical miles of Misty Island again, its propeller was once more entangled in abandoned fishing nets in the sea. After the crew finally cleared the propeller of the fishing nets, the cruise ship unexpectedly ran aground. This grounding caused the ship's hull to suffer serious damage, which even risked the ship capsizing, hence the cruise ship had no choice but to return to port.
