       [ Thassa - Approaching ]
       -- Out in the waters of Thassa, approaching or leaving the Port.
       This area is beyond the safety of the Port --
       says to ALL: The port showed on the port bow as the Sea Kur made
       headway across a rising sea, The sound of the waves drumming
       against the light yet strong hull was rhythmic in its tempo and
       as I watched the wind change so I called for the first mate
       "come about and tack to starboard" I called to Sven who heaved
       on the tiller swinging the bows making the vessel run with the
       waves toward the Port entrance. The vessel surged now riding the
       crest of the swells then down into the trough and up the other
       side, the thrill of a running sea and the wind behind you back
       and the sting of the salt spray while the wind cracked and
       snapped in the sails above our heads exhilarated and thrilled me
       making me realize how much I loved the Thassa and her tempest
       moods.

       [ Docks - Dock Area ]
       -- Somewhere on the docks of the Port. You can be on a ship or
       simply walking the docks. --
       says to ALL: The Sea Kur running now with the momentum of the
       wind as I had the sails dropped and as it surged in towards the
       docks and my berthing the deck was alive with activity. Men
       swarmed over the yardarm rolling the sails and making fast,
       others were at the bow with oars so they could steady the ship
       as it came into berth. Others opened coils of rope looping them
       in their hands to cast to the dock hands so they could tie the
       vessel fast. I stood there watching as they moved satisfied that
       I could trust them to do things right. The passengers sat in the
       stern under a canvass cover that protected them from the wind
       and sea spray in the open sea they had all been at the fair and
       had now returned to the Port to set about setting things up and
       ensuring whatever was purchased and arranged was carried out or
       implemented on time.

       [ Docks - Dock Area ]
       -- Somewhere on the docks of the Port. You can be on a ship or
       simply walking the docks. --
       says to ALL: With the Sea Kur tied fast we were home. The gang
       plank was pushed out to the docks and the First girl and the
       others began carrying boxes and packages ashore where the dock
       hands had brought carts so that the goods could be carted away
       to their respective destinations. I watched the Port girls
       giggling and laughing as they carried the goods off the vessel.
       I knew that the Lady Nyah would be there soon enough and there
       would be goods to be offloaded there too....but that was for the
       dock hands and Nyah's crew. Mine was done.
       I looked across to the docks and saw that soraya had packed a
       cart with boxes and parcels and was now waiting for instructions
       from me. I called across from the deck of the vessel "don't wait
       for me, go on ahead to the villa I have work to do, I will see
       you later for dinner" with that I waved her off and turned to
       the crew "maintain the standards me, maintenance and checks. I
       would want want the Kur ready to sail by the morning" Bjorn
       nodded "Yes Captain" and the men chorused his acknowledgement as
       they set to work.
