No, saltydog, excuse me, I am very tired this evening, and have no ideas.

Indeed, I ran a mission, some maiden voyage to New York, the best mission till today, I think.

So, my triple question is, achtung, fertig, los:
- In what year will this maiden voyage be sailed?
- Who is the author?
- How much time should the mission last? (Expressed in hours).
And I have to go and sleeeeep,

(the answers are easy, I think). Don't wait on me to continue!
Regards,
Luc

Here's one to get us going

Which harbour are you approaching here..?

Itâ€™s the one with the funny French name..you knowâ€¦sounds like their National Anthemâ€¦ Canâ€™t think of it..going to bed nowâ€¦maybe in the morning.

Bon Voyage,

Well, you got half of it right Lighthouse..

Do you know the harbour..?

Lighthouse · « **Reply #330 on:** January 24, 2008, 10:35:07 »

Which part did I get wrong?

Harbour... eh, it wouldn't be Vieux Port would it?

Bon Voyage,

Lighthouse

saltydog · « **Reply #331 on:** January 24, 2008, 10:37:30 »

Yes, it was le Vieux Port, you go..

Lighthouse · « **Reply #332 on:** January 24, 2008, 10:40:40 »

Ok here we go,

How many people excluding the crew can the Arie Visser carry?

Bon Voyage,

Lighthouse

saltydog · « **Reply #333 on:** January 24, 2008, 11:11:31 »

I would say 10 large men..

Lighthouse · « **Reply #334 on:** January 24, 2008, 11:58:25 »

Sorry to say Saltydog but you are way off!!! Think high.... Much higher!

Bon Voyage,

Lighthouse

saltydog · « **Reply #335 on:** January 24, 2008, 12:20:25 »

Ok, 20 very tall men...

Lighthouse · « **Reply #336 on:** January 24, 2008, 12:30:59 »

Keep it going... Your are still miles of Saltydog!

Hint: Do some research on the main shipsim homepage.

Bon Voyage,

Lighthouse

Hmm must be around 100 if I remember right.

114 to be exact

I looked kind of

too, when i first read this. Still can't believe it....

The sip has a crew of 6 and can carry up to 120 people

So a total of 120 minus the crew of 6 is 114.

But uhm, I'm sure this is correct, but last year I was on Terschelling and I stood beside her and if they are my size, then it's gonna be a tight fit.. real tight.

HORAY we have a winner. Well done DerBandit!!!

You ready the question correctly also, excluding the crew, so with six of em' makes 114.

So let your question rip DerBandit!!!

Bon Voyage,

Lighthouse

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #340 on:** January 24, 2008, 12:51:26 »

That's not fair, he edited it after I ansewed it!!!

But hey, go ahead, you can have it DerBandit!

Fred

DerBandit · « **Reply #341 on:** January 24, 2008, 13:21:30 »

If you take a closer look, I originally answered 1 minute ahead of you with 100 and edited while you answered..... but since I'm at Work, I leave the new question to you Mad Fred

saltydog · « **Reply #342 on:** January 24, 2008, 13:29:17 »

he is at Work, I think he didn't have a question prepared ..

so Fred, looks like you're up..

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #343 on:** January 24, 2008, 14:40:09 »

But I have no question prepared either.. sigh.. I don't want it!!!!

Oh well..

How many containers can be seen on the Vermaas?

That means, every container ABOVE the hull line. So not the ones that are inside and thus out of sight..

Now, get counting! muahahaaaa

mvsmith · « **Reply #344 on:** January 24, 2008, 15:47:49 »

Technically, if questions are to apply to the simulator, Arie Visser can carry only three additional visible passengers.

I think 572 Fred.. (now you start counting..

)

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #346 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:22:18 »

Nope, it's quite a bit more than that,... I have counted them

, but of course I may have made a mistake, but that would be just plus or minus 10 or so... So I will be a little bit flexible..

saltydog · « **Reply #347 on:** January 25, 2008, 11:33:34 »

I can't imagine anyone so accurate to count those containers, so here's a new one..

Which building is this..?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #348 on:** January 25, 2008, 12:22:34 »

Indeed.. so in case you wonder, I counted 2034 containers...

(Not that I counted all of them, but like.. number of containers in a stack times number of stacks in a row minus ones missing on top and then for all rows)

Dunno about that building though..

saltydog · « **Reply #349 on:** January 26, 2008, 20:56:44 »

Red Eagle doesn't seem the right name for this stately old girl..
It would be a good name for a speedboat, a fast motorbike or a fighter-jet
Which name do you think would suit this ship..?
