I enjoyed that game.

I particularly enjoyed being manhandled into a liferaft in the middle of Hudson Bay whilst heading South-West in search of the Gulf of St Lawrence 😆 😉 Thank goodness I hadn't set off in the Labrador Strait, I'd be in Greenland by now 🤣🤣

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - a great game, as always 👍

Well done all, the GIFs are getting sparse though 🤔
