[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 2452029, member: 945"] "Dear Journal, The sailors here tell me that this passage takes a fortnight to complete. That was way longer than I had expected it to take. If you look on a map, it doesn't seem to be nearly that far to Innismere. I guess they take a southern route, since there aren't any large trading cities on the western shore of Innismere. Apparently they sail south, around the cape, and usually head to Devonshire, on Brinnismor/ I hear Devonshire is a large city, as large or larger than Hampton's Gate. I would very much like to see that, but I'll not be going there. My father will expect that, since that's where this vessel is ultimately headed. I'm going to try to throw him a curveball, and head to points inland on Innismere instead - dragons be damned! The sailors are generally pleasant folks. They work really hard tending to the ship. They clean it constantly. They say the sea water really does a number on it otherwise. One young guy named Terry even played a game of cards with me last night. I think he's a little worried about me, but I dare not tell him who I am, or why I am here. I've not left the sleeping quarters except to go to the galley when they serve the meal. I've just tried to keep out of everyone's way. The first night was a little interesting. Most of the sailors sleep in the nude. I can certainly see why.
