[QUOTE="Dalamar, post: 2830118, member: 358"] "They're too still to think they'd have just dropped the anchor, but there shouldn't be any rooftops near enough to the surface in this area..." Covis runs his hand over his goatee a few times before speaking more. "We're going in slow to see what's going on, see if they need any help.

Covis's sailors are quick to follow their Captain's orders, and soon [i]Take a Chance[/i] is slowly drifting towards the other boat. "Nothing so far, Cap'n," Unther reports, hanging part-way over the edge. "Wait! There's a mast straight ahead, just under the surface!" The keelboat ends up evading half a dozen masts jutting just under the surface before reaching the other one, which hasn't been so lucky.
