Staten Island Ferry, Elvish Style! [Video/Action ]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin and Margaery Tyrell set sail from the bay of North Island, the same day as he puts the finishing touches on the boat. It is clinker-built (also called lapstrake), which makes the hull flexible, good for sailing turbulent waters. It has a single square-sail (sewn by Margaery), though it also has rowlocks and oars, in the unlikely event of the winds dying. It looks something like this.

It can be crewed by two people, but more would be nice! Give Margaery and Curufin a holler if you want them to come pick you up! Either because you want to come along for the ride and learn something about sailing, or because you need to be ferried to a different island than the one you're on. They'll take you wherever you want to go. Also, call if you want something picked up and delivered to you, or if you just want the sailors to come and visit you. ]

Hello, Hadriel! The ferry's in service.

[ OOC: Either or both Margaery or Curufin will answer! But you can also request one or the other. ]

Excellent work--Miss Margaery, Curufin.

Now we can begin to work toward establishing a fire station on each island.

No problem! \o/

Thank you, Oscar!

It would be good if we could manage that. But I guess we'll have to keep doing our jobs and see what is feasible. If you'd be interested in such a project, maybe you could take a look around and make some recommendations?

Yes, Curufin. I will survey each island as soon as possible and take note of optimal site locations.

I suppose we'd better discuss what we'd be putting on those sites. We aren't going to be able to move the fire engines around the islands, but we might be able to set up some other arrangement. Let me know when you have taken a look and maybe have some ideas to share!
