Default New Voyage ?

Ok its that time again i am very bored, got so much time on my hands its unbelievable, so starting a new voyage.

All of the voyages will start from southampton but you decide where to go and what ship.

Here are the choices:

Southampton to Caribbean
Southampton to Turkey
Southampton to Xmas islands (near australia)

Ships to take:

S.S Rotterdam IV


M/S Delphin


New Amsterdam


Superfast 12


Ever renown


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 , 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

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.

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.

Postpone?! No way Kap!

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

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

Bit off course though...maybe another time
