--hold on, I'll check! [You springs to her feet, very spry indeed-- making sure to lock the oars in place like a good sailor-- and climbs forward on the bow of the rowboat.] I think on the far side of the bend we can put in for a bit! Looks like there's a sandy beach, and I can't see any big rocks.
Then that's the way we'll head towards. You've got a good eye, it'll do you good out on the water. Last thing you want is to misjudge a rock for a fish and end up run aground or damage your hull, especially during bad weather or drinking too much rum.
[And she starts to steer the boat in that direction, her oar going against the current as the boat turns toward the direction of the distant beach.]
So, have you been here long? What's it like around here?
[Praise! Praise from a real sea captain! You is over the moon!] Aye-aye! Steady ahead, then!
[She turns back, settling in the bow seat and grabbing her oars again.] I've been here for almost half a year! Uh, it's pretty nice, most of the time. It was nice to settle in down on the planet instead of up on the space station.
I guess it can be a little rough, though. There was recently all this hubbub with a terrorist attack and a weird disease, but that's all behind us now!

If we get closer I'll be able to tell for sure!
