1 | Pass Through the House

Take the mailbox by the tree and enter the house to the right. Press the indoor button, climb the left stairs, and drop right of the cabinet to leave.

  1. Carry the mailbox to the indoor button.
  2. Climb the stairs and leave from the furniture's opposite side.
  3. Walk right aboard and hang the mailbox near the bed.

2 | Keep Fuel to Reach the Next Boxes

Use the initial three boxes as fuel. Two groups of four boxes lie ahead; the second is before descending into shallow water. Learn the brake position for quick stops and avoid driving over boxes and leaving them behind.

3 | From the Water to the Crane

Collect three boxes and a red barrel at the wooden slope's base, then another box farther ahead. When the ship stops just before the crane, use the lift onto the roof.

4 | Install Sails with the Crane

Climb into the facility from the lowered platform, then hold the button to lower sails aboard. The outdoor ball can be carried aboard as optional cargo.

  1. From the ship's roof into the crane facility.
  2. Hold the installation button until the sails are aboard.
  3. Push in the ship's sail button and check wind propulsion.
  4. In windy sections, the engine can also be used.
