The Rogue Crew

Razzid wiped at his weeping eye, answering caustically, “I didn’t think ye would. D’ye recall who got us atop o’ the dunes by the stripedog mountain?”
Jiboree wagged his head admiringly. “That was you, Cap’n!”

Get the wind behind ye, then tack an’ weave from a distance away. Get ...the crew standin’ by to punt with the oars on both sides. We gets up speed on the flat, then goes full sail at the smallest hill. Soon as we hit it, the crew start helpin’ her up by pushin’ with the oars. Remember now, mudbrain?”
Mowlag tugged his snout meekly. “Aye, Cap’n, ’twas yore idea. Once we’re up, it’s like sailin’ up an’ down the waves.”
Swiffo and the others watched Greenshroud from where they crouched in the dunetop reeds.MoreLess
