Zel smiled at Ahmaht's remark. "I'm sure they appreciate your efforts," he joked. They were quiet for a bit until Ahmaht spoke again. Zel paused, considering his words. "It's been a long time since I went to Serris Ona," he started, "but in my experience, if you wander down to the docks in a port town, it's never too hard to catch a ride on one boat or another."<br/><br/>Zel paused again, trying to think of what the waters were usually like on the stretch from Serris Ona to the Calleran. He couldn't be sure. Those waters were either perfectly calm (to the point of not being able to sail from lack of wind) to housing wretched storms that flooded towns. "The type of boat we need depends on the waters. Typically, a fishing boat is the best way to catch a ride. They often let you work instead of paying up front and they're relatively stable. But all we really need is something that floats, has a place to store food and water, and fits the four of us. If we can't find anything else, I could just sail us."<br/><br/>He wasn't planning to go into much detail on where he'd learned to sail most kinds of ships, navigate both in the day and at night and many of his other slightly less common skills because frankly it brought up bad memories. All that mattered was that the skills occasionally came in handy-- at least that's the way he saw it.
