    how long do you reckon it takes to finish?


    im sure when it first started it said something about going an average speed of 95 (ish) Nautical miles would take about 10 days...however I could have remembered that completly wrong, my memory isnt the best asset lol

    :rotfl:just found this in mail..


    Streeeeewth mate! I just made it through the chilly, chilly waters of Antarctica. I’ve seen giant icebergs, quacked at penguins, paddled over 20 foot waves, waved at seals and have even sneaked around sharks as fast as my webby feet could carry me. And we’ve only just begun!

    It was a bit quackering but now I've made it to Australia! Nice and warrrrm here. I've spotted all sorts of weird and wonderful sea creatures - they're very friendly but I've got no time to stay and make friends as I've got to race off towards Asia.

    Purlease can I have some well-earned treats now? Maybe some love, food (I've heard 'barbies' are popular round these parts) and snooze time, so I do well in the next part of the race.

    Take me to my duck

    :D:D:rotfl:

    At an average speed of 95 knots it would take 15000/95 = 158 hours (approx) which is 6 days 14 hours.

    I couldn't get it to load but I took out the 'www.' and it worked. :j :j hth.

    I finally got my duck today- yeah! Thanks for that tip poohbear.

    My duck's speed dropped though, and it's fully topped up. Anyone know how you get it to go faster?
