You know, I think I might just be a born sailor.  Xan, our new traveling companion is a fun teacher.  I have nothing against the others, but they really can get quite po-faced sometimes.  It's what we need, but I enjoy Xan's reckless spirit.  There's an edge to her that I just can't see in my other friends.

I'm getting to the point where I can steer the craft thar way and tother way pretty well, without stepping no-go.  I'm relieved, as I really did think these games would make me look like a fool.  As it turns out, I'm certain that if I stick at this, I'm going to be something of a prodigy.

Xan mentioned something about "Get the loot".  I suppose that's what we do after any battle, so maybe she's trying to fit in, but why apply it here?  I'll have to talk to her about the proper usage some time.  For now, I'll have to stop writing as all my equipment is a little wet.

Oh, also I got new shoes.
