[@The New Yorker] Any idea as to how long our characters will be on this ship before reaching Morocco?

Roughly a week in story time, probably less. As for rounds of posts, it depends on the PC's. How long does everyone want to be here, how long does it take to respond to certain situations we come across? My best guess is 4-5 rounds of posting, but that could be wrong. I generally don't like answering questions like that because they're impossible to answer accurately. 

More importantly, whenever someone is asking it, it's not a good sign for morale. I assure you, there will be plenty of things to keep us busy while on the open ocean.
