Depends if I’m passenger or crew. Working a ship sounds like a way bigger pain in the ass than my job.
You’re the guest of honor who tries to interpret an ancient treasure map that you inherited from a distant relative.
You had me at Y.
You had me at Trans.
Actually, it’s pretty alright! Being below deck during rough weather sucks and the morning after shore leave ain’t great either. But it wasn’t a bad gig.
My roommate went to Omega Mart a few days ago and all she got me was this pack of chewing gum and maybe covid. Hopefully not the covid, but she’s got it right now. :/
Edit: got the covid too.
Amazing.
I love this so much. Did you make it or just have it lying around? It seems so niche I’m inclined to believe you made It lol
It came from Omega Mart, which my roommate visited when she was in Las Vegas a few days ago, I just took a picture of it.
I’ll pass on trans antarctic trips. I’m not a fan of the cold, and it’s very cold down there. Now trans Atlantic… YES!
Yeah no one ever got cold on a trans-atlantic ship, no sir, not even in April 1912.
Those guys going from Denmark to Iceland on longships in 800 a.d. were just toasty warm as well
When I was a kid my mother got me a book on the expedition of the Terror.
I will not be going on a trans arctic or antarctic voyage in a wooden ship.
Edit: NVM I’ll go. Risk is worth it. Call me up when you’re ready to embark
Just make sure to choose the right type of boat.
Cuz shackelton did not.
Make sure to choose the right type of men, too.
Shackelton did do that. He personally interviewed every crew memeber.
And he did a good job too. When thier boat became trapped in the ice they had to spend the entire antartic winter held up inside the immovable ship. I think it was like 9 months.
They had no altercations and were generally in good spirits.
The kind who like to cuddle?
I wouldn’t go on a trans antarctic trip; I wouldn’t want the cold air blowing up my skirt.
So we gotta be trans to go on the trip?
I mean if that’s the price… 😂
Yeah, I think so. And then I guess they make you reverse it on the return trip. Maritime rules are weird.
The fuck I would.
Yeah I know the success rate of those things and I’m not a huge fan of long pork
Shit I just want the office job so I can quit being killed for nearly minimum wage. Plus I hate the cold.
The sea is a cruel mistress me hearties 🏴☠️

Transatlantic, yes, but not transantartic. I do not like cold.
When I was in my 20s, I seriously looked into getting a job in Antarctica. I kept looking at Raytheon’s job page to see if anything applied. There was no wooden ship, but it still sounded so romantic to me that I really thought it would be a great adventure.
So glad I never did it.
That would’ve been such a cool experience, but yeah… probably less fun that we’d imagine.
I’m questioning the logistics of dragging ships along across the antarctic mountains, but as long as I am one of those riding the ships instead of dragging, I’m game.

Would probably still be warmer than some of the offices I’ve worked in.
How am I supposed to traverse Antarctica (a continental land mass) in a big wooden ship? Does the ship have wheels and sleds? Because Antarctica is a desert. A cold one, yes, but still a very-much-hostile-to-sea-faring-wessels desert.
Someone will have to get out and pull
