    @-
A gently curving crescent of soft, golden sand meets the stark beauty of the cliff and the gorgeous, undulating blue of the Bay of Ephebe at this spot.  Concealing rocks are distributed, seemingly at random, over the cove while at the same time providing cover from the bay for its occupants.  Judging by the careful positioning of the rocks it would be quite difficult to make out the cove from the rest of the cliff-lined coastline.  A gap in the rocks provides access to the sea to the west.
It is a warm backspindlewinter's morning with a gentle breeze and a beautifully clear sky.
There are two obvious exits: up and east.
A young truffle pig and a backward walking sheep are sitting here and Reva Angelic, Fossilized Rangi and Chidder are standing here.

This expanse of water is the surface of the Circle Sea.  As with most large bodies of water, the direction which should command the greatest amount of caution is down, firstly because if you stop swimming that's the first way you're going to be heading, and secondly because it's practically impossible to tell what's lurking in wait below your dangling toes.  The city of Ephebe stands on the cliffs to the east and southeast.  Five miles to the northeast stands Ephebe's famous lighthouse.
It is a pleasantly warm backspindlewinter's morning with almost no wind and scattered puffy clouds.

This expanse of water is the surface of the Circle Sea.  As with most large bodies of water, the direction which should command the greatest amount of caution is down, firstly because if you stop swimming that's the first way you're going to be heading, and secondly because it's practically impossible to tell what's lurking in wait below your dangling toes.  The SS Unsinkable lies to the south.

As with most large bodies of water, the direction which should command the greatest amount of caution is down, firstly because if you stop swimming that's the first way you're going to be heading, and secondly because it's practically impossible to tell what's lurking in wait below your dangling toes.  The SS Unsinkable lies to the south.
The SS Unsinkable's hull is badly cracked.
It is a slightly chilly backspindlewinter's morning with almost no wind and heavy fog.
There are nine obvious exits: board, down, fore, starboard, port, starboard fore, port aft, starboard aft and port fore.
] ] Each strike of your shipwright's hammer lands as if guided by your will.

The paddlewheel behind the ship is a whirring blur, skipping the ship across the water like a thrown rock.

The paddlewheel behind the ship is turning rapidly, powering the ship onwards through the water in a trail of foam.
It is a warm backspindlewinter's morning with a gentle breeze and a beautifully clear sky.
There are three obvious exits: port aft, starboard aft and overboard.
Four coils of rope are coiled in a heap, a ship's wheel is standing at the prow, a small brass lantern is mounted on the prow, three wooden boards are on the ground and a coil of rope is tying you to a railing.

This expanse of water is the surface of the Circle Sea.  As with most large bodies of water, the direction which should command the greatest amount of caution is down, firstly because if you stop swimming that's the first way you're going to be heading, and secondly because it's practically impossible to tell what's lurking in wait below your dangling toes.  The SS Unsinkable lies to the south.
The SS Unsinkable's hull has a thin covering of glowing dire seaweed clinging to it, slowly dissolving the wood, and bears the marks of multiple impacts.

This expanse of water is the surface of the Circle Sea.  As with most large bodies of water, the direction which should command the greatest amount of caution is down, firstly because if you stop swimming that's the first way you're going to be heading, and secondly because it's practically impossible to tell what's lurking in wait below your dangling toes.  The SS Unsinkable lies to the south.
The SS Unsinkable's hull has a few strands of glowing dire seaweed clinging to it, slowly dissolving the wood, and looks a little scuffed up.
It is a very cold backspindlewinter's morning with gusty winds and packed cloud cover.
Peals of thunder and streaks of lightning rend the sky.
There are nine obvious exits: board, down, fore, starboard, port, starboard fore, port aft, starboard aft and port fore.

This is the foremost point of the ship.  The ship's wheel stands at the prow, the railings on each side of the ship meet before it at a point and the wide blue ocean lies all around you.  The windowed bridge room is just aft of here, but you can go around it to port aft and starboard aft.
Some wisps of smoke drift through the air.
The paddlewheel behind the ship is turning rapidly, powering the ship onwards through the water in a trail of foam.
It is a warm backspindlewinter's morning with a gentle breeze and a beautifully clear sky.
There are three obvious exits: port aft, starboard aft and overboard.
Four coils of rope are coiled in a heap, a ship's wheel is standing at the prow, a small brass lantern is mounted on the prow, six iron nails are on the ground, two wooden boards are on the ground and a coil of rope is tying you to a railing.

This discreet corner of the underdocks is hidden from both sunlight and the intrusive eyes of the law by several of the pylons that support the jetty above.  There's just enough space here for a couple of boats to be moored.  A dim lantern hangs from one of the pylons, shedding just enough light to deepen the shadows, and the dark entrance to what looks like a tunnel lies to the south.
There is one obvious exit: north.
Captain Smith is standing here.
A large bucket and a hacksaw are on the floor and an Impossible Voyage leaderboard is leaning against a pylon.

20:07:40: Nethuns fishily tells you: so you can imagine that'd shave off a fair bit
20:07:54: You tell Nethuns: you cleaned and repaired the hull while steering O:
20:08:07: Nethuns fishily tells you: and did some fires! ;p
20:08:11: You exclaim to Nethuns: and fires!
20:08:19: Nethuns fishily tells you: i've done dragons before as well hehe
20:08:21: You tell Nethuns: and picked up driftwood
20:08:32: You ask Nethuns: how'd you get moving so fast?
20:08:41: Nethuns fishily tells you: reva puts drags on straight away
20:08:44: Nethuns fishily tells you: if you saw
20:08:50: Nethuns fishily tells you: i run past the dragon already in the circle with no tanks
20:08:51: You tell Nethuns: nah I was only snooping you
20:08:55: You tell Nethuns: ah
20:08:59: Nethuns fishily tells you: it can start fires
20:09:02: Nethuns fishily tells you: so it's risky
20:09:10: Nethuns fishily tells you: but if she's quick, she can have the drags heating before she fills

20:10:31: Nethuns fishily tells you: cause chimara does all the searching+fixing for me
20:10:42: Nethuns fishily tells you: so i can concentrate better and he watches from mast the entire fog
20:11:00: Nethuns fishily tells you: you should see what happens when it's duo during gales + monster
20:11:01: You tell Pit: sail is over, I have the log
20:11:05: Nethuns fishily tells you: that's nuts, specially if it's kraken
20:11:30: Nethuns fishily tells you: I think some of the problem is if you put 6 people on that sail, what do like 3 of them have to do
20:12:09: Nethuns fishily tells you: and a lot of the other groups are like 4/6 man groups
20:12:16: You tell Nethuns: yeah I think I should make more stuff for everyone to do
20:12:25: Nethuns fishily tells you: maybe have it scale with players though
20:12:29: You tell Nethuns: at least enough to encourage 4 man groups instead of 3
20:12:36: Nethuns fishily tells you: Ah yeah fair
20:12:53: Nethuns fishily tells you: but you can see that I'm working for my fast sails ;p
20:13:03: Nethuns fishily tells you: It aint easy
20:13:21: Nethuns fishily tells you: but i've prolly done like 500 sails
20:13:23: Nethuns fishily tells you: maybe more
20:13:28: Nethuns fishily tells you: I wish i knew how many
20:13:56: You tell Nethuns: it's probably tracked in achievement info
20:14:10: Nethuns fishily tells you: it just says complted :(
20:14:36: You tell Nethuns: yeah you can't see it
20:14:46: You tell Nethuns: but it's tracked
20:14:52: Nethuns fishily tells you: Oh! haha that's good to know ;p
20:15:26: Nethuns fishily asks you: Was it useful atall then?
20:15:51: Nethuns fishily tells you: it was a 13:17 sail though, like i said chimara is where the big guns come out
20:16:49: You tell Nethuns: it helped answer my question about how you're going so fast
20:16:58: Nethuns fishily asks you: Oh?
20:17:02: Nethuns fishily asks you: slipstreams?
20:17:03: You tell Nethuns: I do still want to see what was happening belowdecks tho
20:17:06: Nethuns fishily tells you: or the start
20:17:20: You tell Nethuns: the start probably played a big role
20:17:28: Nethuns fishily tells you: yah reva is why we get <10
20:17:33: Nethuns fishily tells you: there's only so much I can do
20:17:42: Nethuns fishily tells you: it's down to RNG and how good reva is
20:17:57: Nethuns fishily tells you: I think <20 is captain <10 is wrangler
20:20:14: Nethuns fishily tells you: honestly my first sail, we spent 40 minutes in one leg
20:20:19: Nethuns fishily tells you: going round in cricles
20:20:27: You tell Nethuns: yeah especially in headwind
20:20:50: Nethuns fishily tells you: I think it's a natural progression though for why it goes so fast now
20:20:56: Nethuns fishily tells you: like some people have gotten really good at it
20:21:09: Nethuns fishily tells you: so the things that catch the newbies out and add hours
20:21:11: You tell Nethuns: yeah high skillcap
20:21:20: Nethuns fishily tells you: it'll be hard to balance that
20:21:33: Nethuns fishily tells you: it's why it's rewarding I guess
20:21:37: Nethuns fishily tells you: it feels like a high skillcap game
20:21:47: Nethuns fishily tells you: like when you get good at it, it feels like you are actually doing something
20:24:13: Nethuns fishily exclaims to you: Anyway i'll stop blabbering, but if you need anything just ask!
