One is polymorph, but if that is the case, the caster could capsize us in other ways. There are marine races that could do that. Elves, Sahuagin, Aboleths - although I wouldn't expect these on the open sea - Merrow and many others. And all or most of them can speak with animals via spells or natural affinity. This being a shark, I'd say we need to prepare to be boarded by sahuagin.As for the captain, he has no reputation for piracy or he wouldn't be here" - Luthor motions to the manacles hanging from his belt."He was chosen as reputable captain with penchant for risk taking. He may have questionable morals - in that taking everything from a ship is legal as long as he didn't attack first - but obviously not smart enough to NOT do that in the middle of the ocean. You have to understand that sailors are hard bunch. I already told you, mercy has no place here where every drop of water and  ration of food is accounted for exactly the crew and ships passengers. It could seem strange that you cannot catch the food on the way, but open seas are really empty, it's like hunting in the desert. It can be done, but it takes time and effort. And with time comes the cost in water which is also limited."</blockquote>
