    How disappointing, I was sure I would end up in Caithness
    Instead I will end up off the coast of Moroco in the ocean.
    And you folk will end up in the pacific ocean but not all that close to Nobby's Beach, where the ship was washed ashore.
    Never mind, I'm off down the back with a shovel, and I'll take a pair of flippers with me, then I can swim the rest of the way.

    My daughter and I just had some fun with this. We'd need a boat waiting when we came out the other side, but would likely need a swim first, anyway, after all the digging.
