Define slow.
She's faster than Dany Heatley anyhow.
Paavo Lipponen's speeches are faster than Dany Heatley, so it's not much of an accomplishment.
The problem with Suomen Joutsen would be that we can't count on the wind when we enter the canal system after the Atlantic. I'd rather use something smaller that's more nimble, and preferably mainly engine-powered. A catamaran, maybe? Actually, scratch that. Suomen Joutsen would be great, because it has a lot of room yet it can reach some speed, and it should be able to cross the Atlantic, which smaller boats might have some trouble with. We could load a smaller boat, say a Buster XL, under the deck and switch to that when we reach the canals.
There. We have a plan. Acquire Suomen Joutsen, acquire a smaller boat, preferably with a powerful engine. Acquire JJ Lehto, because we need a reliable captain. If he's not available, I heard that there's this guy in Italy who was recently laid off and has some experience from bigger ships. If that fails, I shall assume captain's duties because I've got the biggest post count.
Now, who's going to call Mikko?
