Choose wisely and carefully the slowest ship has a top speed of 20 knots or there abouts.

The plan:

You guys have till the end of this week to vote on route and ship, then what ever scores the most i do :D, then the ship will leave southampton sunday at 1200 and make for that destination (note this closes friday as i need saturday to plan).

The routes will be direct and updates on progress made when ever needed.

So get cracking :D

[Oberon]

I must admit, I like the look of the New Amsterdam, got a nice classical feel to her.

As for the route...it's got to be Southampton to the Christmas Islands...you should be there by Christmas too. :up:

[Kapitan]

Even the slowest ship there wont take any more than 3 weeks to get there :D

[STEED]

New Amsterdam to Turkey :cool:

[Kapitan]

I have no idea what to take or where to go but rest assured il keep informed just as soon as we have polled it out.

[Kurushio]

Take the Playboy Yacht to Turkey....then to pass the time watch some porn and pretend it's the Playboy lovelys entertaining you in your cabin (realism)....it'll go a lot quicker....when you get to Turkey watch some Turkish porn (hairy women)...:up:

[Oberon]

Or select the Van Gogh, cruise from Norway to Harwich, and then sit in Harwich docks for a week. :oops:

EDIT: And for extra realism, spend that week on the toilet. ;)

The Ever Renown course - Southampton to Xmas islands, then stop off in New Zealand for a beer with kiwi just make sure your cargo aint carring anything nuclear or you wont be allowed in and will have the entire NZNavy force chasing ya, 3 frigates! :lol:

[Kapitan]

need more input guys

[diver]

Southampton to Christmas Islands. In the Superfast 12 (which looks very much like the 'Spirit of Tasmanias I and II'). Good luck finishing it though, that is one mighty navigational feat, especially for one man and his sheep.

[joea]

New Amsterdam to Turkey :cool:

2nd vote for that choice. :up:

[STEED]

Come on Kap, time to set sail.:)

[Kapitan]

Sunday 1200 is sailing time so far its the S.S New Amsterdam going to the Christmas islands however turkey is second in the running.

More votes please.

[STEED]

Sunday 1200 is sailing time.

Just enough time to get tanked up on booze.;) :p

[Kapitan]

But only just i got it worked out to the second.

0700 wake up put clothes on
0705 run to the pub (nip round the back)
1145 stagger home
1200 leave port

[STEED]

Don't forget to take a leak in the bus shelter or phone box and dive through someone's hedge and knock over your bin as you stagger in.:lol: :p :lol:

[Kapitan]

Well the pub is about 5 mins away, i can take a leak in a phone box cant jump through any hedges (painful most r pricaly but who knows when your completly pissed) and as for knocking over my bin nah probs walk into the car.

[STEED]

Are to be young again. :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Kapitan]

Final Day Need Votes People Otherwise Sailing Will Be Postponed !!

Last Day Today!

[Oberon]

Postpone?! No way Kap!

Makes a nice change from the ME/Islam topics and gives me and STEED something to do :up:
Go on, go to Oz, you know you want to :D

While you're heading there, take a look at the Corinth canal, see if you can get the New Amsterdam through that :rock:

Bit off course though...maybe another time :up:

[STEED]

[Oberon]

(It's not quite Torplexed, but it's a start :-? )

[STEED]

Looks like the pub has won the day with Kap.;) No sailing today.:roll:

[STEED]

Kap, has gone on a drinking bender for the next few days or months.:p

[joea]

Oh dear, just as well then. :D :rotfl:

[Kapitan]

No the sailing has been postponed due to my grandmother being rushed into hospital we are now waiting for her to die.

[STEED]

Sorry to here that Kap. :cry:

[Oberon]

Cripes, sorry to hear that Kap, don't really know what to say other than, if there is no chance of recovery, I hope it's peaceful.

[Kapitan]

Very little to none im afraid she has blood poisioning its only now a matter of time, brings tears to me when last night she was singing "always look on the bright side of life"

[Oberon]

Sadly there's nothing one can do in these situations but be with them, and that act of love alone will ease any pain for her. I'm so sorry Kap.

[Kapitan]

Its ok i thankyou, but ive been gearing up for this for a few weeks its only due to the shock of loosing her leg that this has realy come about.

Its just a matter of time, she just keeps fighting it to be honest its like she is fighting mike tyson so she wont last much longer and thats what we are all hoping for.

The thing that annoys me the most is they will only now allow 6 of us around her bed because there is just too many people there (43 on my last count when i left) so that pisses me off the most because we all should be there.

[STEED]

Hang in their Kap, I know you been going though a bad spot.

[Kapitan]

Yup trying to take it in my stride been drinking alot more too but im not an alikiholic i like it :D, trying to take each day as it comes.

Broke up with my girl nan is dieing dads been found guilty and its all come at once :(

[Linton]

Kap,when the going gets tough it is time to take your Akula out and go and sink some ships!Always works for me!

[joea]

Wow I am realy sorry Kap..didn't know that. That is rought, but on the other hand be thankful you live near your Grandmother so your family can be with her during her leaving. My grandparents were all an ocean away...didn't even go to the funerals. :-?

Hope everything will go better.

[lesrae]

Yeah, like the other guys say - thinking of you mate.

[Kapitan]

Sadly she died at 0745 this morning, i know its wicked to say this but im glad shes out of her pain now.

[Oberon]

Nothing wicked about it at all Kap, she's at peace now and that's better than living on in eternal pain.
Anything I can do Kap, just give us a shout, ok?

[Kapitan]

Thanks obie but whats can be done is being done :)

[Linton]

My condolences to you and all your family,Kapitan
