Sadly, the pirate ship simply was too big for four people to man it in any
sane direction.
But it was much, much better then the raft. Plus it had lifeboats in case
they needed to go to the water again. They found food and new clothes and
even weapons. Khrusti found a small library and read, pleased for the
diversion.
The four slept out under the stars. At two o'clock, a cool misty rain came.
Astra, on watch for now, relaxed and streched her arms.

Suddenly...
-
Due to the rain, Velus' fur was sticking out in all sorts of directions. She giggled softly.
-
Several mermen swam by at high speeds. So -that's- how they reproduced.
-
Something was wrong. Two moons?
-
Three albatrosses landed in the rigging and began talking to each other and oddly, a small white rope loop.
-
She came up with an idea. Tie this rope, secure that and four people COULD sail the ship to land.
-
Splahing softly off the port bow were three young women on a cruddy raft. They had the peaceful-only magical tattoos of the Donners (self-and-other defense is allowed).
-
It began to snow.
