I want to get aboard, but I am in London and do not know where/when.

Thanks.

Currently the Sleuthtetania is out at see, two days out from Shanghai, The ay it stands right now, you can only see where the boat is located from either NY or Shanghai as those are the only two places the ship sails to.

Nic, maybe we'll get that in city news one day *wink*

OK. I am completely not understanding the whole Sleuthetania schedule. I went to Shanghai before midnight SST figuring 2 days would be July 5, and it was already gone and on it's way to NY. uggghhh. I'm really just interested in finally doing the FM by SS and Rosamund. I went to NY now and I guess I'll wait another 2 days. But is it really 2 days? Has anyone figured out this schedule? All my calculations have appeared to be wrong. I thought, it lands in either NY or Shanghai, docks for a day and then sets sail for 2 days?

Nic, I have noticed once that the schedule said the ship was two days out from Shanghai, but it turned up in Shanghai the next day. From what you've said I calculate that the ship should turn up in NY tomorrow, but currently the Shanghai docks still say it's 2 days out from NY. I wonder if this is just a wording problem because I think the "1 day in dock 2 days at sea" is correct.

I posted in the other thread that I had a similar problem with the Sleuthetania, in that it docked in NY the day after we left Shanghai.

It's the only time I've been on, so I don't know if it was a glitch or if it's a regular occurrence, but it was definitely not at sea for 2 days on that particular voyage!

I'm in Shanghai right now, the dockmaster said:

At sea, 2 days out from Shanghai.
Yesterday Topkebab reported it was 2 days out from NY.

Perhaps the Pirates are running the ship. That might explain the $20,000 boarding fee.

;)
And the teaspoons (see Pirate thread.)

According to the NYC Dockmaster:
"The Sleuthetania is currently at sea, two days out from Shaghai."

still 2 days out?

hmm... this is the first time I've noticed the typo on "Shaghai"

Reporting directly from Sleuthetania's bridge:

Ship Location

The Sleuthetania is currently at sea, two days out from Shaghai.

(I haven't noticed the typo either).

I boarded the ship yesterday in NY harbour, but sometime during the day it changed into "at sea, two days out of Shanghai". It still says the same thing. It seems that the ship's and server times don't match. Maybe the time is counted from the moment of launching.

I reported the type shortly after the ship set sail. Just a matter of getting it corrected now

I noticed it the first time it left New York but never reported it. I always think someone else has probably already done it. haha
