Homework - Southold Cargo Lots

[Ravenblade]

The reason he gave the advice was that the smaller, more valuable lots tended to be the type of cargo that could withstand extended journeys like the one you'll embark on.

I'm thinking Lots 4 and 7, but am open to other ideas too.

You are seeing what I'm seeing, Lots#4 and #7 are what we have been told are valuable so we should go with those.  We will find out if the ship handles better with a partially full load or with a full cargo.  Some ships wallow when full others get their perfect balance of buoyancy when they are loaded down and low in the water, we just are not students of keels, beams, and ballast.  I too thought we had to supply a super cargo, but our only options have been small cargoes so far.  Maybe we are supplying a super cargo, maybe Kearse will discover that all merchants must be purged from the face of all worlds, we just don't know.  LOL!
