[SHIP RACE] Passage to Ascalon

According to the Founding Myth of Ascalon, the King, between July the 14th and the 21st, left Kasidim Island heading for Ashkelon Arch on quest for the legendary sword that Saint George used to slay the dragon.
Travel now on that route reliving the legend and win over 40.000 Pieces of Eight in prizes!

Rules

You can enter the contest anytime between July the 14th and the 19th but only once per entrant.
There is no limit on the number of pirates aboard during the race but only the entrant should access the coffers of the ship (only Officers can sign in as entrants, Pirates and Cabin Persons can participate teaming with an Officer).
Entrants are required to make a transaction on the start point, the end point, and all listed points in between of the following route: Kasidim-Ventress-Greenwich-Descartes-Kashgar-Ashkelon Arch.
Ship records will be used to determine who spent less time to complete the route and to verify that all stops were made.

Battles bonuses and penalties

In order to avoid fast grapples and suicides, if engaged by a brigand ship, entrants will receive a 5-minute bonus for each battle won and a 10-minute penalty for each battle lost.

How to participate

1. Take a sloop to Kasidim Island.
2. Ask Pishkirlin to give you the 6 bid tickets and to chart the route from Kasidim to Ashkelon (if you can't chart).
3. Get the goods from the bid ticket delivered on your sloop. *
4. Set sail heading to the next check-point island.
5. Port and repeat steps 3 to 4 for each check-point island.
6. On Ashkelon Arch just get the good delivered and lock the vessel (if possible).

* Please be sure you know how the "market bidding" interface on board the ship is used BEFORE the race.
