Flag-CI trip.

When pillaging today we found some CI maps.
Rather than going myself, or selling the maps, I think it would be more fun to go with flaggies than just with random jobbers.
I'm sure we can staff at least a cutter by ourselves and probably even larger ships (Dhows, War brigs) if we take the help of aditional jobbers.

I will personally navigate the CI. But I don't have any experience in running CI's. So I don't know wich ship would be best suited. The fog penalty is larger if you have a bigger ship, if I am not mistaken.

You may want explore them on a sloop or a cutter. Don't forget that beside the fog penalty there is a pretty high risk of being sunk, so I don't think you want to lose a baghlah or a war brig.
Where are those CI? What is the closest island? You should start moving there the ship you want to use.
How many ships would you be able to risk? What will you do if your first trip sinks? Will you risk another ship? If not, please let us know, so we'll move a ship of ours there and we'll run the second trip with our crew.

As for the time, I suggest running the trip during the evening (European time), when more people is online and doing it as soon as possible so that in case of a successful run we can do many others in the next days.

My sloop is ready. Ported at Scrimshaw, the closest habitable island to the CI's.

I went on CI with the Glimmer of Light a few minutes ago. We didn't make very much, but we didn't sink, so I'm happy with the results.

Great.
I couldn't log on yesterday night. Maybe I'll be able to be there if you run it again today. See you later.
