The timing couldn't have been worse. At least those were Sylas' initial thoughts until he realized that this might actually help him more than hurt. He didn't know much about marine life, but he did know that they tended to dive deeper into the water when storms hit. This could help him out.
The storm was only just starting, and the creatures should have sensed it even before he had. So maybe he would get lucky and lay eyes on the island before they did.
Sylas didn't often get so lucky, so he was hoping that maybe there really was a first time for everything. The boat swayed beneath him and the waves began to kick up as the skies darkened, but it was still more than manageable for the Basilisk King.
