I’m at the stopping point and am having fun.  I like Nelly’s humor and her side comments.  She’s helpful to others but no pushover, and I got a kick out of her conversation with Jeremy Gannet.  Having been to St. Bonaventure Island (in Canada) where the gannets nest, I do appreciate Jeremy’s comment about the hat’s contents.

Hi!

I reached the stop point. Well, I must admit i entered the cave as I understood we shouldn’t enter the race itself, my bad.

So I didn’t enter the race, I think I solved all the puzzles outside, well, not all because I think I need some items from the cave. I found the boats and destinations puzzle logical. As a kid, I loved those logic problems with people, locations, pets and clues about who lived where and owned which pet.

I love Nelly, I love the fact she defends animals, I like British humour so I am enjoying the game as much as I enjoyed the first game, Spoonbeaks Ahoy! }

About comparisons with Monkey Island, it has nothing to do, the pirate stuff is treated differently (in my opinion) and the game creates its own world (that couple of beared-pirate siblings is a great discovery).

So I can’t wait for more!

Not the way I solved it, but we were both successful. Awaiting clearance to re-enter the race track. Pretty sure I know what to do. And, because I was erroneously here before, and did some stuff, my inventory is stocked with the needed tools. Eagerly anticipating the next go ahead.

Well, with so many people at the check point, let’s continue forward shall we. Let’s solve the mystery of:

Toff Race Cave.

So please enter the cave and have fun. You have until next Monday to accomplish this.

Stop when you get to this point in the game:

Hurray! Weigh anchor, pirates!

Because I had entered the racetrack earlier, I had already made a few drinks. Watching the race you see that Habanero wins, Hobbling him was easy. When they race a second time, Fou wins. Figuring out how to slow him down was pretty straight forward. Cavendish was the only one left, and we knew that drinking scotch to him was like drinking water. Finding which drinks to mix was trial and error, but I got it on the second try. Getting the shirt was a bit more difficult. But, with limited options left in inventory, it boiled down to trying everything on everything. (Including items in various locations.)

I don’t think it was specifically stated, but I’m guessing this episode’s end point is when we board the ship. So that’s where I stopped, pending additional instructions.

Edit: Actually I missed the image AL posted, and boarded the ship. I saw a few cut scenes, but didn’t do anything.

Re-Edit: Surprised that no one commented on the bad puns I inserted in my description of my playing of this sequence.

Nelly is ready to board.

Sounds like we have many players ready to board, let’s play Part 2: Guttering Howls shall we. We’ll have some fun in the next part of the game.

As usual, please post what you do or don’t like about the game.

You have until Monday to arrive at the following screen:

I am loving this game. And have been sorely tempted to stake out a block of time and just play it to the end. Reigning myself in to keep with the CPT spirit.

Sorry but I see many locations from Groat Harbour. Could you be a little more specific about when or where should we stop?

Sure, you need to stop at:

Groat Manor.

Groat Manor is the court of the islands and Judge Groat is the Supreme Judge. There we first meet Enid Frome, the Judges Secretary.

I’m so glad you are loving the game. It’s quite good. Thank god for indies like this one, saved the hobby big time. Please stick it out and play it through with us. I will make the weekly plays very large so that we have lots of game to play each week.

Thanks! I will stop when getting there, although it is hard to stop, because the game is so good
