Westley had accompanied Inigo on his first voyage as the 'new' Dread Pirate Roberts. He found Inigo standing at a railing and looking out across the waves to the horizon.

"I have rarely before been so far out to sea that I could no longer see the land," Inigo said quietly. "The ocean is very peaceful, is it not?"

Westly rested a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Yes," Westley agreed. "Yes it is."

The two men gazed upon the waters for awhile longer.

"But it's rather boring after awhile, isn't it," Inigo said.

"Yes," Westley agreed again. "Yes it is."
