I payed for the trip in Fort Mur, and found myself on the ship. I waited for a fair bit with little sign of me going anywhere. I spoke with the Kuo Toa captain who offered me the conversation that use to be available at the docks.

He offered to bring me to the island for 50 gold. Under Howland's direction, I gave him 50 coins and was offered the option of [Step into the boat], which just ended the conversation with him and left me standing in place.

Howland ported me to my destination, and directed me to post the event here. :)
