By my count, we all had a turn this round so I will start again. (The canon sure helps)
Lighthouse at SCAPA Flow, Roll 5+5>> PASS GO (Collect M200, Please) Land in San Fernando
Roll again: 4+3= 7 takes me to Singapore I guess I owe Michael M14, Please arrange transfer.
Smooth sailing all and stay well.
Morgan

A pair of 5s takes me from Tamar to Intrepid M25 to Morgam please.
Next roll 3 and 5 move I am off to Com chest East.
The RNG shows 16 and I draw (shortened) " Dress ship for Princess Marys Birthday and get M150 from the bank"

Hi Chris - I dropped you a PM because I think I was more up-to-date than at first sight - let me know what you think. I'll wait to hear from you before throwing for Morgan's new round

Joan is right, I forgot to process her second-to-last move. My bad.
Fortunately, it's easy to correct. Now she's on Donkey Boilers, and the M200 have been taken from her account due to Naval Fines Office.
Now, we only need Michael to take a turn, and THEN a new round can start.
Please make sure you really are the last person to go before using that cannon picture!

Bummer!

I think I can go now Michael has had his turn.
Double 3 takes me from CCE to Oh dear, Scapa Flow. Michael gets M50.
Next throw is 1 and 4 off to Navel Fines I go. M220 for passing Go goes to pay my fine.

righteo got a 5 + 5... for a barometer do doubles mean steady weather?
From Pearl to Liverpool, that's a long stretch. Pay fee.

8... What's THIS!? Contraband rubber onions!? Off to DS Intrepid and collect M150. Do I pay the lighthouse?

Just had to share this from my current OW reading (which some of you may have heard of by now!), Julian Thompson's Imperial War Museum Book of the War at Sea 1914-18. He's writing about the Northern Patrol, and the checking of ships for contraband. He answers one of my questions about what information captains had, with mention of the War Trade Intelligence Department, established in January 1915, which collated all the information and intelligence about enemy trading activities, and could supply up to date information about every firm mentioned in a ship's papers.
He also mentions the ingenuity of the ships carrying contraband, which was 'carried in hollow masts, double decks and bulkheads, and even rubber onions. This last only discovered by an onion bouncing on the deck.'
Sadly he doesn't say what kind of contraband could be concealed in a rubber onion - we'll just have to use our imaginations ... ???

Might it have been rubber, itself? Needed for vehicle tyres for the war effort.
I'd agree with Bunts on this. I'm sure rubber was on the list of contraband (per that well-known promoter of gender equality, E Keble Chatterton).
;D
He keeps on bouncing back, doesn't he?

This is invalid because you already took your turn for this round (things got a little confused earlier because someone claimed to have started a round when they actually hadn't).
You are still on Chest East, please make sure to start from there on your next turn.
As for me - 1 and 4, so still in Drydock.

I get 3 + 3, so I'm out of Drydock and head to Singapore, M14 to Michael.
Michael: If you ever need cash, I will gladly buy Singapore.

I finally got internet. It seems like my attacks on the Naval Fines Office finally caught up with me, so I plan to sit here and reflect on the errors of my ways.
