"Be careful with that tall boat! It's a very blustery day!"

- Elizabeth

Plot
It was a windy day on the Island of Sodor and Thomas is to deliver the Mayor of Sodor's yacht from the docks to the harbour. Cranky told to wait for an engineer to put the ships tall mast down, but Thomas is too impatient to wait and left.

Thomas raced pass Elizebeth who told him to be careful with the mass, but Thomas didn't hear her. Thomas was approaching a bridge and Rosie stopped Thomas from going under it as the mass was to tall, so Thomas went back to take another way. But on the way, The mass was caught by some trees and got stuck, so Thomas pulled as hard as he could and broke free, but didn't know that the ropes tied to the sail had came lose and the wind pushing the sail made Thomas go very fast. Molly saw Thomas and tries to tell him about the sail, but Thomas was going so fast that he didn't hear her.

Thomas was approaching the harbour, but couldn't stop and raced pass The Mayor, Sir Topham and Lady Hatt. Finally, the wind stopped and Thomas stopped. Thomas realises his mistake and collects an engineer from the harbour. The engineer puts the mast down, & Thomas arrives back at the harbour and the yacht is able to be unloaded and launched. Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas that he sees that he decided that full steam is better than full sail and Thomas agreed.
