Three hours later, the Frostskimmr passed the last of the Lizard Marsh's muddy islands and headed out to sea. The crew shipped their oars and set a large colourful square sail as they found the sea-breeze, and the ship assumed a northward course. Three-quarters of the crew began to make their beds among the rowing benches for the ship had no below-decks, other than storage. They rigged a tarp to protect the deck from the sea-spray and left the best spots for their guests.
Loklafd said, "We should spot Waterdeep around first light. The ship has more than enough stores to make Luskan without stopping, but if you have reason to make any landfalls, I can discuss it with the captain. Now, feel free to get some rest. It is customary on this ship for everyone aboard to take a shift rowing, but with this fine wind we should not need it before tomorrow."
