I've tried to reach Mari without much success so far - could be down to connection problems (I know from my own experience how painful it can be getting a phone line installed from new), and so it will be difficult to know when whe will be back and posting again.

So, a few suggestions as to how to get the story moving again.

1. I will add a new entry within the next 48 hours.
2. Anyone wishing to take over with an entry after that - pls go ahead - I'll wait another 48 hours before acting on next suggestion, which is
3. Pls send me a PM with an event or activity you would like to see included in the story at some stage forwards (PM route so as to add a certain amount of suspense and secrecy to the enterprise) and I will endeavour to build them in as the story continues.

Once Mari is back I'll involve and task her with adhering to this 'wish-list' also.

Let's get these sea-dogs sailing again!
