Cruzer Around Kerbin: a boat Elcano of Kerbin

[Akagi]

We join our heroes at dawn, driving their boat past the KSC. It's time for a boat Elcano!

Passing my junkyard. Why are they so scared?

In the water.

Setting out. The eagle eyed among you might notice that Shersey Kerman is gone. That's because he swam to shore to try to plant a flag... how would I know the boat moves at 1.8 m/s with the engines on idle? Eh, I'll pick him up eventually.

Anyway, this is my entry to the Elcano Challenge, linked below. My goal is to circumnavigate all water bodies with a boat. 

Back to the mission, I warped to day and set off at the top speed of 31.7 m/s. 

Here I am heading south from the KSC. Next post coming soon!

I suspect you'll find speed picks up as you exhaust the fuel supply.

Is it named the Akagi though?

No, that would be absurd.

Cruzer is simply too small for a name such as that. I will build a much bigger ship instead to dub Akagi!

Cockpit view on day 2 of driving.

Top speed and heading at hdg 229.

Scheduled engine maintenance after 100,000 meters sailed.

Here we are on the map.

Welp. We need to send a replacement now I guess...
