Thanks Michael - sorry to hold everyone up!

Right end of the round is: 2+3 = 5 so I sail on to Dutch Harbor. Oh! Free berth for the night. Must go and do a bit of cod fishing. Very good cod fishing in these parts. Well, back in the 1890s for sure.

Hey - I just realised that I'm TOP of the league for sinkings!



And on we go!

4+6=10 so steering a course for Esquimalt which is up for sale. Hmmm.... I'll buy it. Please transfer my funds to the Bank Mr CFO. Stuart - you might want to tempt me to sell it to you?

3+4=7
Off to Crows nest I go.
At last a chance to make some money. Anything in the Kitty mine treasurer?

Lighthouse on Tamar
Roll 5+2=7>> Chance
Roll 15 Lucky Bag>>>extra watch duty , miss a chance (relief from paying rent) and take another chance card.
Roll 5 Get a free ticket to Thanksgiving dinner- however, I buy dinner for the Herschel Is "Snow Flakes" M75. Must be a minimal snow fall or really cheap dinner. Mr CFO- the money is to go from me to the Bank. Thanks.
Now know where Herschel Island is located.

Hi Joan, I might let you tempt me, how about M300? How does that sound?

Maybe it's because barometers move just a very little bit at a time...
1+3 "zooms" me over to chance.
where 13 I'VE BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING, I don't know where I am, so I get a free throw.
6+6 wow, what a little plasma in the diet does for you! Looks like I've hit Shanghai which belongs to our great CFO.
And now, whew, busy busy, 2+5 lands me on Sydney (can't seem to stay away), pay my fee. And... I'm going to purchase a sail for Iloilo please.

Michael's move
From Vancouver: Throwing 2 + 4 = 6 => Chemulpho
Please pay Hanibal94 $24 rent for my stay in Chemulpho. Thank you, Mr. CFO.

I had just been in the Esquimalt Degaussing Range, but I managed to sneak away before paying any rent, Joan.

Sounds jolly good to me Stuart. Mr CFO please could you kindly make the transaction of port authority for Esquimalt to Stuart and the return of M300 from his account to mine? Thank you!

Threw a double so
3+5=8 dog at the helm arrives at Chance East
Woof! Throws a 9 so I'm distracted by that dastardly field of lemons Hmmm..to go back three spaces of take another Chance Card?
Oh let's take a risk - go back three spaces.
Ah! Community Chest East.
Throws 12 and changes from a dog to Dr Derbyshire, advances to 'Go' and collects an additional M200 for being nice. Bet I never get to throw that one again

Michael's move
From Chemulpho: Throwing 3 + 1 = 4 => Community Chest E

For Community Chest

Throwing 11
Assessed for general ship upgrades. Pay M15 per Coast Guard sail ship. Pay M50 per Battle Cruiser. Pay M25 for the Donkey Boiler and/or Bilge Pumps


Please, Mr. CFO, take M25 for my Bilge Pumps.

For Joan, this is why ships need to run through a degaussing range.

Here's the US Navy degaussing range in Florida.
