Mostly soft sand and mud but watch out for weed close in. It's pretty exposed to the south though so perhaps best treated as an occasional.

Morning Shard.

This is all very well, but your advice, however well meant, is pedestrian to say the least. However, I, ever so truthfully, thank you from the bottom of my many dark and embittered souls.

I feel that we shall meet again.

You will know when that time comes.

However, let us move this discussion in a forward trajectory;

1 If my ship anchors in Loch Modan, or Lordaeron to the north, should we take any additional precautions if we intend to proceed towards Kalimdor?
2 What sort of anchor would be suitable in the Kalimdorian anchorages?
3 We do not have a windlass on board (a Magtheridon’s blouse didn’t deliver….)
4 Raising and lowering a 115kg CQR by hand is not funny.
5 Would a 180lb Rocna be a suitable alternative?
6 Do other ships stop for lunch in delightful gertz?

;-) I empathise with Stingo -"I don't have a plan, and I'm sticking to it".

This slightly bizarre thread started as a spammer trying to sell fantasy games stuff, although I'm not sure if he wanted real dollars or fantasy dollars. Apparently this fantasy gold stuff is convertible into real currency, with the Linden Dollar appearing to have done well during the financial crisis, appreciating from about 270 to 250 to the $US over the past three years. It's certainly an alternative currency, but I doubt if it will ever challenge either the USD or, heaven forfend, the Euro, as one of the world's major reserve currencies.

However, Silkie, bless his soggy socks, decided to zap the spammer guy, leaving my response, with a new header, as an OP. Git!

Shard, my shrivelling codpiece, don't knock the money markets and the ascendancy of our noble Sterling.
I am confident of being able to afford a pastry upon my arrival in the land of the long runny nose this weekend.
God Bless Mr Cable.

You will persist in exercising your wit on the spam. You were so quick this time that the guy was still online ffs! I can either delete your post as well, leave it hanging as you wrote it or edit it, as I did with this one. Your choice. :)

Jings, that was weeks ago. I'm fine if you leave it in. It's just such a terrible shame that your alacrity and devotion to duty deprived us of a fine bit of spammer baiting. Look, the boss has bogged off to Norway with only a tin can and a piece of string to communicate with, so you can use your discretion.

Phew! It was close but I managed to get rid of the most recent spammer and his seven posts before you spotted them.

Well done again Silkie.
