Grand Admiral Hess set sail in the ''Old Towne'', allowing his XO to command the ''Boomer'' with his brother. This proved to be a near-disaster for the Atlantic Fleet. Due to the incompetence of the XO, the ''Boomer'' had some trouble getting off the shore of Middle Island. As a result, the two Mustachistani sailors in their vessels caught up to Grand Admiral Hess, alone in the ''Old Towne'', and a heated battle broke out between the three ships. At two against one, they were firing broadsides upon Grand Admiral Hess' vessel, and eventually succeeded in flipping him over with their oars. Grand Admiral Hess' years of naval training and coolness under fire served him well in this catastrophe. In spite of the cold water, he was able to stay above water by grasping onto his overturned kayak and waited in the deep water for the ''Boomer'' to come pick him up.
