As the boat approaches the Miami coast, the travelers' thoughts are interrupted by a loud sound meaning the boat was officially cracking. Everyone starts to bail out the boat as fast as possible. Isabel and her family push the engine into the sea in order to make the boat lighter. Suddenly they hear a loud siren and realize the U.S. Coast Guard is upon them.
