The Selhin ties off to the Pokekehekepi beachhead!
A sailor steps forward and hangs a chalkboard on a nearby palm tree and scribbles something quickly onto it.
> go selhin
You climb onto the Halasa Selhin.
[You are aboard The Halasa Selhin which is afloat in The Reshal Sea facing west and is moored to Pokekehekepi beachhead.]
[The Halasa Selhin, Main Deck]
After years of varnishing, the main deck of the Halasa Selhin glistens like a becalmed sea. Holding the crisp yards of her mainsail, the mainmast rises skyward to a dizzying height with the sweeping length of the boom spreading her canvas skirt to the wind. Brightly colored pennants flutter from the halyards.
You also see Pokekehekepi, a barrel of fishing poles, a barrel of fish bait, a bucket of hooks and a shelf of normal fishing line.
Ship paths: forward, aft.
Nearby in the water you see: The Night Sky (beyond horizon: southwest), the port of Ratha on the southern edge of Reshalia (at horizon: west).

> go dock
You disembark.
[Uaro Dock, Port of Ratha]
Crates of all sizes and shapes, labeled and stamped, pile to make haphazard pyramids upon the long planks. Heavy fishing nets are strung across the crates to the dock cleats to dry in the wind and a strong odor of salt and fish rises in the warm, humid air.
You also see The Halasa Selhin, an ebony slate, a ramp, a public notice and a news stand with a grinning imp on it.
Obvious paths: none.
Nearby in the water you see: the open ocean (distant), the Oyit Neh Dock (far), The Middle Neh dock (far), the main docks (far), a small fleet of ships.
