MJ's Challenge ~ The Voyage Out

[RoyalChick]

Yes, in Chap 3
" ... she was primarily a cargo boat... her business being to carry dry goods to the Amazons, and rubber home again."

Rather a broad area, not a specific port.

Ooops. I definitely missed that. I didn't miss cargo boat but missed Amazons.

 

[MaryJanet]

Ooops. I definitely missed that. I didn't miss cargo boat but missed Amazons.

And here's me thinking I'd never need the plural of Amazon

 

[Ribh]

Well that explains my woefully bad small talk.
I'll just hide behind the lounge at parties with Ribh and fend people off with cocktail frankfurts...

We can discuss chickens in between frankfurters.

 

[MaryJanet]

I'm going to read chapter 5 this weekend, starting now

 

[Ribh]

I'm going to read chapter 5 this weekend, starting now

I'm a little ahead so I will reread & refresh & be ready to comment when you are.

Crikey! That was quite a chapter

 

[Ribh]

Crikey! That was quite a chapter

I'm not over the champagne yet.

 

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Sounds like I'd better get cracking.

 

[RoyalChick]

I'm not over the champagne yet.

Yes. That whole chapter was quite a thing. I am starting IX now but will go back and re-read as we discuss.

 

[MaryJanet]

I'm not over the champagne yet.

"Here, have some bubbles on top of your vomiting." what the heck? Although it was kind of Helen to tidy up the cabin.

Was it intended to induce sleep? Scotch might've been a better choice.
