Night of Knives, on pg. 47, Tor trade paperback, said:
The fisherman set down the rind of bread and left his bowl of soup steaming on the table. He went to the window where a rag of cloth fluttered in a frigid south wind. From beside the fire, his wife turned towards him. 'What is it, Toben?'
You're right, thanks.
Also, I reread the prologue, and there is no mention of whether Rheni is Captain Murl's wife or daughter, only that she is family like everyone else (and she was a mage or something because she was trying to calm the storm). They're clearly close, as he tries to "caress her cheek" and stroke her chair. But, the relationship is not defined.

We sail in and out of Time, then back again. There is only one ship, the captain says. All the ships we hail between the galaxies or suns are this ship.
