Cannon Street Run IX - Talk Like a Pirate Day - 19th Sept

Post by Going Underground »

Sailing at 19:30hrs


Avast ye swabs, we be setting sail on the choppy waters of the underground on 19th of next month from the port of Cannon Street at

Any salty sea dogs that want to board the vessel add your name to the ships manifest below..... Arrrrrrr!!!!!

It be the Alphabet ports challenge A to Z taken from any location, so port "A" will be CAnnon Street, Ye can then weigh anchor at anywhere that has a "B" in the destination and so on through to our final sailing point of Belsize Park so long as you dock at 26 different ports, for example Cannon Street cannot be counted as any other letter contained....
Arrr so it be ye Landlubbers :wink:

Ye can take any vessel in chosen direction after the tides have turned (awaiting times) So if ye wants to sail on Circle or District vessels in either direction ye can wait for chosen ship....

Grog afterwards at Ye Olde McD's, Warren Street, avast ye!!!!!!!

I normally finish work at 1800, so will need as late a start as possible to make this. I could possibly arrange to try and leave slightly early.

Let me know your sailing times soonest able seaman Andrew, the tides may be more favourable for a later departure...
I imagine our voyage may be a fairly short one in any case....

As suggested by Peg Leg Pete here be the Sailing plans for our voyage....

It be the Alphabet ports challenge A to Z taken from any location, so port "A" will be CAnnon Street, Ye can then weigh anchor at anywhere that has a "B" in the destination and so on through to our final sailing point of Belsize Park so long as you dock at 26 different ports, for example Cannon Street cannot be counted as any other letter contained....
Arrr so it be ye Landlubbers :wink:

Ye can take any vessel in chosen direction after the tides have turned (awaiting times) So if ye wants to sail on Circle or District vessels in either direction ye can wait for chosen ship....

Grog afterwards at Ye Olde McD's, Warren Street, avast ye!!!!!!!

Should a fair wind be blowing I should be alongside in time for this one. The treasure map is proving more fiendish to navigate than at first consideration though.
