Cedric couldn't help but feel a small thrill of excitement as he looked out toward Avery's Isle.  The island seemed to grow larger by the minute as the Elfleda drew closer, so that the travelers on board could begin to make out shapes of houses and other structures dotted around the bay, as well as a few smaller boats bobbing in the bay.

[i]"Exciting, isn't it?" a female voice nearby said. "Open sea, new land, and a whole world to discover."[/i]

Cedric turned to look and realized the halfling was not addressing him, but another of their fellow traveling companions.  Not that he'd let that stop him.  "Here, here!  I'll drink to that tonight when we're supping with the Constable!  Just think...  after sailing on from Avery's Isle, we may be the only ones alive today to see the sights we'll see!"
