Floating Volcano

Change of plans for the first WU cruise. The Kate Gosselin cruise is out. Instead we'll be sailing on the Tropical Island Paradise, built by Yacht Island Design. It features its own volcano! Once a day the volcano will erupt, shooting out deadly fireballs and streams of lava.

Of course, we'll have to wait for the ship to be built...

If the ship is nicer and more tropical island-y than the places you are sailing to, why take it out of the harbor to begin with? Why even make it a boat? Just build a standing resort for that matter and just spray your guests with salt water and feed them contaminated food. The experience will be just the same and you won't have a desiel fuel bill.

I'm now accepting pre-payment for the WU cruse. I've opened a small account (in my name for the time being) but will transfer the funds when the balance is high enough.
