we are actually heading toward a small group of Islands In the Middle of the Pacific. So it is highly improbable taht we will ever get there. Then again We have never missed getting somewhere yet.

What do you mean, we've visited some places in Australia, the centre of the Earth...

*Inspects the chart for the Pacific ocean, which is mostly blue.*
Aha! I think I've found a group of islands in the middle ... right here!
*Jabs at the afore-mentioned items, and discovers that they are stuck to his fingertip.*
Oh no ... just some biscuit crumbs. There's an awful lot of ocean on this chart ..... can anyone see where the islands are .... if they're right in the middle I could always steer that way and hope ......

Well steering and hoping is as good a strategy as we have ever employed aboard the Blood. Aim the pointy bit at the horizon and let fly main sheet. Or whatever it is we do at moments like this. Oh I know what we do.

The Pacific is full of islands, how can you not find one???
The Bridge
F F Churchton Posted Apr 24, 2003
It could be Rotterdam, or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome. No-one seems to know!!!
The Bridge
F F Churchton Posted Apr 25, 2003
Well only sometimes, whenever we find some on-line pictures of places!!!

Kes Posted Apr 26, 2003
It's definitely the Pacific ... by my calculations we've reached here.
*Sticks one end of the dividers into the chart, at the place where the lettering for the ocean starts. The Blood sails regally past a gigantic letter "P" on the port side*
