Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom

When Jack gave the order to drop anchor, the small bower would
plummet down into the water, catch on the bottom, and bring the ship
up short, stopping her dead, before she could run aground at the end
of the trough. While the anchor was dropping and catching, the sail
handlers would spill all wind from the sails to stall the ship’s forward
momentum.
Borya’s sloop was slowly closing on their port side, so the
Russian wouldn’t be able to see what they were doing over on the
starboard side.
Jack stood on the quarterdeck with his most experienced
helmsman, Lemuel Matthews, on the wheel, and Chamba, who was on
duty as the ordinary seaman, turning the hourglass and updating the
traverse board. They were the only three who were exempt from the
duty of hauling the anchor cable. Jack and Chamba stood side by
side, watching as Connery and Robby gave the crew their instructions.
The men went below to begin the operation.
Suddenly a muffled boom off to port made them swing around,
only to see a puff of smoke clouding one of Koldunya’s starboard gun
ports. Borya’s sloop was now only about a mile away, and he’d
opened fire. He didn’t have the range yet, and the shot fell harmlessly
short. Jack watched the spout of water the ball splashed up.
For a moment Jack wished he had more men so he could shoot
back, but he needed every available crewman to handle the heavy
anchor cable. He shrugged. Let Borya waste ammunition. Jack
planned to conserve his, because he knew the rogue was bound to
have more powder and shot than he did.
Borya fired again, and again it fell short. The Russian continued to
fire at intervals, trying to get the range, using his starboard cannons.
Jack ignored the shots. It was time to check his position again.
Heading forward, he stood on the port side of the bow, spyglass ready.
He had to stand far forward, because his crewman were back up on
the weather deck as they completed hauling the cable forward to the
bow so it could be secured to the small bower anchor.
His next landmark was Rocky Point on Great Abaco, a distinctive
fishhook-shaped bit of land that lay only two miles east of their path
north. He should be able to spot it easily—it was the easternmost land
