I see that you're finished with this voyage!!! Congratulations. It's in the queue waiting for me to process it. I guess I shouldn't have gone away for four weeks...

Finished with the year, but not the voyage! ;)

ggordon has reserved 1880, which starts off with a lot of telegraphic signalling.

Even though I know it's not the case, I call the year a voyage. Sometimes the year has only a few months, sometimes a year has two voyages and sometimes a voyage lasts for two or more years. :roll:

Thank you! It's truly gratifying to wrap it up, and to see the whole voyage plotted out on Google Earth.
