I did have the idea that since Moonboats were made in Darjiin, that the actual crew of the moonboats were coarse, unruly and lewd Darjiinians, who adorn their Moonboats with lewd images to be viewed from below. Their emergency bouyancy magic would be to drop their britches and make the sign of the Moon over the gunwales of the Moonboat.
Of course, Darjiinians being what they are, like to 'practice' this over Dara Happan cities to shock the Dara Happans there. They _do_ take care to invoke some missile protection in case some Noble decides to re-enact Lukarius's shooting down the Moon with bows and arrows.
