You may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space

I think it's time to do something I've been mulling over since DWE 2, a 'lil roadtrip to places I've either never visited or just want to revisit; no specifics in mind, no deadlines, just gonna fly

So I took myself off to Explorer's Anchorage in a shiny new Krait Phantom, DSSV Starfish, enjoyed a last hearty meal at the Eggsplorers and Anchovy chip emporium and then hit the boost button - space madness set in at the edge of the no-fire zone.

Paid my respects before jumping......

​

Headed straight along the Galactic Bar, a quick 6426 ly to the Oberon Planetary Nebula. Had a stop for coffee and sandwiches in the C ring of Brown Dwarf Kyloabs ND-S e4-9473 1 just 22ls away.

Now where did I put the map?

Nice! Looks like that will be a fantastic personal expedition.

The Starfish is aquitting herself well, the only incident of note being an unsheduled drop from supercruise caused by the ship's cat - the cat was put out (of the bridge, not the ship).
