the ship can get fairly close to the shoreline, the elf dives into the water ahead of the ship and a small boat is made ready for the two of you to get into. The elf swims alongside the small boat pulling it along. the water is almost smooth as glass with how calm it is, almost like bath water. the wake from the small boat makes barely a ripple in the water.

The elf pulls the boat up onto the shore and shakes himself like a dog, before looking around the shore up and down. The island is eerily quiet, no bird or animal noises are heard, and even the water barely whispers as it presses against the shore. "We'll need a few hours minimum for repairs, maybe see if anyone lives on this island? see if we could trade for fresh food and maybe offer to trade or pay for the timber we need..."
