"Alright, now how do we approach this? Anyone have any ideas? I think we could wait until nightfall so that most of Vark's men are asleep before boarding the ship. I imagine we could approach from the water via a small raft. Spike may be too heavy for that, but he could walk on the bottom of the bay without much ill effect, right? We could have him drag us towards the ship via rope, which would be quieter than rowing."
