I'll be offline until at least Sunday, maybe Monday. Y'all be thinking up a good plot for our next story.
Richie built a mansion in Fairyland on a large estate, part of which he set aside for his farmer father to tend sheep, cattle and Llamas. Richie was a simple man and had no wish to be Lord of the Manor and have many servants at his beck and call. He found the love of his life two years later, married and a had a brood of children and grand children.. Now it is a final happy ending.
Any thoughts on our next story? I enjoyed the Princess Maize story Shirley. Thanks. How about a group of modern day treasure seeking divers on a big boat with all the gear? My news channel just talked about finding Shackleton's sunken boat. I dated his grandaughter even, years ago!
HMS Atlanta set sail from the Royal Naval Shipyard in Bermuda January 31, 1880. She was never seen again. It was presumed that she sunk in a powerful storm. The wreckage may be located in the Bermuda Triangle. She may have been carrying gold and gems. Shall we try to find her? I looked up Shackleton but it's too dadblamed cold in the Antarctic for me.
I like the idea of seeking treasure in the 'Bermuda Triangle'. Looking for HMS Atlanta sounds great by me. Your Bermuda triangle idea is great Shirley. Craig? I hate cold weather too. It was 39C in my suburb today and humid. Same or worse tomorrow! For this adventure, we need Specialists and all rounders, even a wealthy sponsor/ ? Scientists, Captain, Officers, Doctor, Divers, Marine salvage experts, Archeologist, Valuer, Historian, Chemist, ... Electronics and IT, Camera and Media, .....! ...Pick a few or several roles I reckon, if you fancy? Whatever...Be a Physicist from the 28th century somehow here. How's this for a. Patron: T Jones is a marine archeologist and treasure finder. He/She's already a billionaire. This is his/her hobby and prime interest, and has many skills. Cost is a small factor in his/her reckoning to explore. How does that sound Shirley and Richie? Either of you wanna play Jones?
Rather than make this an epic. Let us be a small expedition looking for sunken treasure or sunken antiquities off Alexandria, Egypt or the Devil's Triangle if you prefer.. or even off the Florida Keys where there are wrecks of Spanish galleons. I am Richie Kadoka .. part Navajo Indian and a retired Navy Seals diver. I will provide my ten year old 50ft cabin cruiser for the expedition.
Fair enough Craig. I know I often over complicate things so a 20m boat with a small crew would be easier. Alexandria or Devil's triangle or Florida keys sound fine. I'm game for any of those three. I like the Devil's Bermuda triangle as Shirley first suggested. Mystery! I'd like to be an all rounder diver/sailor and surfer called Jim Jones or JJ, aged 33 from Indiana. What's your preference Shirley?
Calling @Shirley Martin. Come in Shirley. We have a smaller diving expedition planned now. Terry is JJ, knockabout diver/surfer. I am Richie Kadoka, former Navy Seals diver. Who do you wanna be and in what location do we search. See my post above.
There are many tales of ships and planes vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle. I've always wondered if they are true or just tall tales. Maybe if we go there, we can find out. If they are true, maybe we can solve the mystery of why they vanished.
To my knowledge they are true. Has anyone actually found any wreckage. Lets read up on it. Did they all sink or were they perhaps drawn into another world thru a portal in the Triangle. So who do you want to be in our little story?
I think I'll be a world famous scientist who investigates strange phenomenon. My name is Dr. Carrol .
Who happens to be related to one of us guys. Reason she is on the expedition. So how about we make it seven on board. Us three, Richie's first mate / girl friend Mitzi, Dr Carrol's assistant and two hired crew, one diver, one cook/general duties.
Sounds fine by me Craig. JJ likes to fish too and brings on board his fishing gear: rods, spear gun, nets, surfboard, scuba gear, underwater camera, water skis, sail board if there's room? ... bags of underwater tools too, even an electronic shark repeller. And a satelite phone with Musk internet charged by lithium batteries and fold out solar panels. $8k on Amoson. He also tells you and the Cook Mario quietly that he's a Pescatarian. "I won't try to convert anyone overtly", he says, "just by example. I have the best herbs and spices to enhance the experience, trust me. Let us share Mario." At that point, Mario looks blankly at Captain Richie?
Sorry JJ no room for surfboard, water skis, sail board as we will be diving 90% of the time.. so no time for rec sports. Hope you understand. Dr Carrol will have her scientific equipment too. In case you are wondering why she is on board, she is related to me by marriage so I am well acquainted with her work.What is a Pescatarian? Oh Dr Carrol and her assistant Tim Wardell have just arrived so I will welcome them on board. Come on board the Darlene Arviso, Lillian and Tim. Mario will now show you to your cabins, then when you have settled in I will introduce you both to the rest of our group.
