I thought, I would post this here. One never knows, if someone has the guts/time/whatever to do this thing.

For anyone in Mass., working for (maybe even with) Fletcher would be freakin' amazing IMHO. Don't know him personally of course but he's sort of the "indie recording god", for anyone who's been living in a cave.

Lots of high end goodies too. Drool...

So Immanuel, are you applying for the job?

No. I do not meet the requirements (I have no drivers license) and I have promissed my ears not to go flying again, because the extreme pain makes my litteraly cry (I tried double doze nose stuff, chewing gum, veeery (unpleasantly very) cool menthol bonbons - I just do not decompress enough), and the last time I got out of a plane, I had hizz noise in my ears for a week - loud enough to be heard when cars drowe by on a wet street. The risk is just too high for me

ROFL Tom - I hear it only takes a couple of months

Gary - I get your point, but it is a bit too easy. That ear thing is actually the reason why it takes me ~28 hours each way, when I go to Finland to visit my girlfriend's family (and that includes sleeping on the floor on a ship from Sweeden to Finland). And that adds some 150 student € to the cost above the price of flying. Did you ever have ear infections? I had a bunch of those as a kid - the pain is somewhat similar - and the tears are definitely not crocodile tears.

So I get your point, but really - it is too easy.

In this world where diplomas open doors, simply being exposed to real recording techniques doesn't cut it.

Minimum wage and exposure is fine if you're going to apply the knowledge at home afterwards. On a positive note, the exposure to the people there could open doors.

To add to Astroman's comment, don't forget you pointy hat if you come by boat. It'll make the picture complete.

I've once watched a TV feature about some people actually doing it - with an original boat reconstructed and original navigation gear

I admire their courage, I wouldn't dare this even with a couple of Powerpulsars and lifetime free plugin supply as reward...

at least I've learnt from this that they were pretty sophisticated sailors back then and even the boats were kind of 'high tech', though not exactly looking like this

my deepest regrets for your ear trouble - we always take those 'simple' things in life for granted (to function), unless someone's experience tells us different...

cheers, Tom

This year we had Tall Ships Race in Aalborg where I live. There where a bunch of RATHER BIG sail ships and some less extreme. One of the smaller ones came in from Australia. I think it had like 20 people on it. That was pretty impressive IMO.
