I'm planning a boat trip to this point for a few days to hang out, and play some games; maybe a Pathfinder game and a Cthulhu game. If you want to come with me let me know??
The "Pole of Inaccessibility" (also known as Point Nemo) is the point in the Pacific Ocean that is farthest away from any land. It is located at: 48°52.6 S 123°23.6 W.
Some say >Cthulhu's house< is near by, but that is just crazy.
I'm making our supply list. What else should we bring?
1. Food
2. Suntan Oil
3. >air rafts< so we can float in the water beside the boat.
4. core rules book
5. all of Daigle's published adventures, so we can play them
6. gas
??
.
I'd prefer a boat to an air raft but if I have to choose, I'll take the middle one....
Here are a few thoughts:
Something for pics and/or video.
Do any of you drink?
Is "lots of water" included in food?
Lots of music, specifically some Jimmy Buffet.
Perhaps multiple swim suits...I am not sure how the suits/trunks might feel different after going into salt water as opposed to fresh water. I know they feel different at the beach but that probably has a lot to do with the sand in the water.
Perhaps a hanging shower bag if you are able to bring enough water and the boat doesn't have one. I don't see any guarantee that the ocean itself, not even taking into account the salt water, will be clean enough that a dip in it will make you fell clean enough to not want a shower.
Umbrellas so as to avoid the sun while on deck.
Will there be proper tables for playing?
Some type of basin/container to roll dice in (instead of on the table) so that with some waves they do not roll all over the boat.

I believe you've just put WAY too much effort into it... :)

Excellent ideas. Consider them all added to the list.
Yes, we'll have some >proper tables< .
But maybe we need some of the >floaty-in-the-water< kind. >This< is good too.
Oh! Let's bring a >floating basket ball hoop< . After a heavy gaming session we can jump into the water and swim around. :-)
Underwater listening gear so we can hear the great bloop
This is great.
You might want a shark cage.
Well, I'd enjoy the show from the crow's nest, but...

That IS surprisingly close. Say hi for me :)
Count me in please, please, please! I own a few scuba air tanks. I'll have them filled up, and bring them along. Maybe we can play underwater LARP.
I wonder how deep the water is at that point in the ocean?
How do we get there and how long shall we stay? I really want to hear the Bloop!
Don't forget a satellite internet uplink.

Btw, that large object to starboard is not a freighter, it is a space ship. The alien ship set down to pay alms to Cthulhu. Even they know who the boss is.
But I never said that.

I think that cage will be useful if we run into any of >THESE< .

Or a really big Barbeque! and a big bowl of shark fin soup. Nom Nom Nom
Apparently, something big is upsetting the natives in the waters off of South Africa:
>> Beware of jumping whales <<
This could mean we now have a clean shot at the pole, as there is a distraction on the other side of the world.
Let's move!
Someone has suggested an >Inflatable Judy Doll< .
Goose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's > Get the Hell Out of Here < .
I am ready, who is going to run the game?!? Anybody have more Rum?
I've finally recovered enough SAN damage from our last outing, and
am eager to go out again.What games shall we bring with us this time????
.
fyi, those floaty rafts I suggested last time turned out very badly.
Several surviving family members won't talk to me anymore.

Fire it all up. Here we go again. Last time was such a success and we even had three survivors!!! FTW!
Who's wants to go with me this time?

Its been 8 years, are you sure it's still there and hasn't been turned into a Starbucks or Dave And Busters.
I'm wagering Big C. likes BurgerKing.
.
No one likes Burger King.
Water is for drinking and bathing. Not enjoying.
No one likes Burger King.
*sheepishly* I do.

At the Pole of Inaccessibility, dread cthulhu has harvested,
and then built, a burger king. It is not a very nice place to
work. The human help doesn't live long. And, in fact, stories
tell the missing help end up in the burgers. But always,
there are the onion rings.
It's mostly the onion rings cthulhu finds magical. Learned burger king
magicians -- wizen, sclerosus pocked men now physically atrophied due to
years-long study of moldy, accursed texts -- have conceived ways to make
a good tasting, commercially viable onion ring.
Boy oh boy, Big C is a fan!
.
Here is how you make the onion rings:
The process is unholy. One must forsake their place in existence to
have their name added, as an after thought no less, to the list of
mortal wretches wishing to make a bargain with evil for a dollop of
power.
If, with a chance equal to lightning striking a lady bug from the handle
bars of your Mom's favorite bicycle when she was 12 years old, one of
the wretches is granted some power. Then, it is he who must cook the
rings for cthulhu.
First, he must produce the onion ring's cooking oil. The method used is
unclean. The insane magician squeezes the oil out from the intestines
of seven rabid dogs.
A lead bowl must be used as the physical conduit between heat and oil.
Putting his oil in a lead bowl, the mad wizard will bring it to a boil
by heating it on a coal burning stove.
The onions must be freshly dug from the Earth. And cut sharply with a
clean, silver sacrificial dagger (of course) and gently slid into the
boiling oil. The motion of ingress for the onions into the pot must be
executed with his left hand only.
Stir until done. Then, pluck the rings out to dry on a velvet towel.
Now, that's a fine onion ring.
.
I can't like that enough.
10 year anniversary coming up
Shall we go again? (y/n)
Get off my lawn!!!
I'm in!
