Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Well, Aileana and Ishara got to the Islands by boat (#217/2022-09-08, the boat’s in panel 2). What’s the range of a speedboat? Depends on the boat, wind, currents, roughness of the water, speed, fuel economy, et-to-the-nth-cetera. But I found a decent discussion intended to open the eyes of boat-owners: https://www.burkardyachts.com/range-how-far-can-i-go
Best I can guess, the Maris Islands are no more than a hundred miles off the main continent. They would want to make sure they could do a round trip, rather than assume fuel would still be available on the Islands.
Wrong. Maris is about 4-5000 miles east. Pictures a Madagascar like north and sout island with a number of island pieces around it.
Ailena and IShara took a boat from the south island to the north island, not a transoceanic run.
And no, it isn’t on the map. I had one drawn up for it, but I lost it to due to a crash and never rebuilt it. Sometime here soon, I’m going to have to make a new one and add it to the main drawing.
