They were close to land now, and out of the ice. The Newfoundlands were surrounded by fog, so Brendan was 30 miles off of where she was estimated to be. The ship that met with them found Brendan quite by chance. Brendan was almost to her final port!

She had proved that it was possible to sail across the ocean in a leather boat.
