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. ]

That's a relief to know. At least those gods are capable when it comes to transporting us... as frustrating as they usually are. [He glances off toward the sea for a moment.] We'll probably need plenty more boats where this came from, to bring us between these islands.

Yes, that seems to be one of their few skills. I do wish they'd found an island large enough for the entire city. [she follows his gaze] Indeed. Unfortunately, there are only so many trees to fell for timber.

Then we'll have to be careful how many of those trees we use. Still, even with a small supply of boats, we'll be better off than where we started. And it's not a cave, at least… as inconvenient of a situation as it is.

[He's not sure what he'd do if they ended up back in the cave again.]

Yes, for it takes a tree a long while to grow. You disliked the caves, I take it?

More than disliked. Caves are fine as long as you're only using them for a temporary shelter, or perhaps exploring them for a time... I don't want to live in them, though. We went far too long without seeing the sky...
