Sea Legs

Accomplished adventurer though I am, I'm no sailor. I know nothing about it and in all honesty, have no great desire to, in spite of a strong naval tradition in my family. I mean sure, I've chartered the odd boat on this expedition and that, but the control of the vessel has always been left to those more experienced, and in this regard, capable than myself.

Its the leviathans you see, I've never liked being in their vicinity, especially in an element where their motion is swift, agile and natural, while ours is sluggish at best. And the sharks. Fascinating creatures from a distance, efficient, deadly, and rather intelligent, as fish go. Doesn't mean I want to get up close and personal with them though.

I prefer flying, I know that a failure in the vessel is far more likely to resut in death, but at least the garden doesn't have too many flying monsters. Leastways, none that pose any significant danger to a flight vessel.
