I am stuck and have no idea how to dive in Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships. I have the scuba gear, medal detector, shovel and the sail for the sailboat. I have tried everything! I’ve been to the crescent island, sailed around and clicked on the box in the top left corner of my screen that has my scuba gear with the number 100. But nothings happened, help me!!!!
I have circled all the islands but a new screen does not appear, what do I do and where do I go!?
Please try and give me step by step instructions, because none of this stuff is working! Like what I need to have, where I need to go and how I get there!!

Once you arrive in the appropriate location for diving, a new screen will appear. There should be a ladder or rope on the left hand side of the boat. Simply hover on that area until you recieve an arrow or another cursor indicating a ‘hotspot’ to click. Once you are in the water, the rope to return to the surface will be somewhat hard to spot, so take a few seconds to find it before you go any further.

Should you still have trouble, double check the ingame to-do list, exhaust all conversations with all characters (especially George), and check Nancy’s journal for further information on tasks you may have missed.

If all else fails, gameboomers.com has walkthroughs for all of the Nancy Drew games in extensive detail. Just be wary of spoilers, and find your current position in the game and you’ll be given specific instruction on how to move forward with the gameplay.

I’m looking for gear (aka boots, gloves, shell, other) I can use for both offshore sailing in rough weather and snow sports. So a combo of both, waterproof and cold weather gear (rated is best) would be fantastic. Thanks! I’m a woman, ps, so I’d need smaller sizes.

Ice armor is made for people who ice fish. It is realy warm and durable.

AGAIN im stuck. and this time not even the walkthrough helps. According to the walkthrough i need to go sailing and visit what i suppose is the shark cove(the semicircle of reef) but i cant seem to dive down. is there something im missing? i have a shovel, the gear, and the metal detector….the walkthrough just says "click on the ladder on the left side of the boat"…WAT LADDER???
please help my patheticness.

Make sure you have the diving gear and that your air tank is full. Also, check your task list to make sure she’s actually needing to dive right now, and that there aren’t any outstanding tasks she needs to complete first.

The reef (not called Shark Cove, but I cannot remember the real name) is a horseshoe shaped reef SE of the island–you should be able to sail right in. Once you’re in, your picture will change from 3rd person back to 1st person, and you’ll be sitting on the boat, the ladder is then to the left.

If it doesn’t switch from 3rd to 1st, then Nancy must have another task to complete; she’s very particular about that, apparently.

Honestly, I just finished the game today, and it wasn’t very good, I was horribly dissapointed. The next one looks good; I hope it’s better!

I want to do some photography in the area for a friend (who was / is a member of it) and is overseas at present. He loved sailing in the area and I’d like to send him some shots for his Birthday.

I need to travel from the Totnes area in Devon (when I get down there and the weather has improved).

My Thanks in advance.

i hate where i live and i love california but my dad says no. I live in a hicktown with a ton of friends but i dont care! i can make better friends in california and my dad still says no! i said to him, "Since mom died, we should start a new life and move out of here! Us kids can be home schooled in california! you can get an even better paying job and we can go anywhere and have NO SNOW!" he said, "NO!!!!!! we are staying here! most of the houses are too much money!" so i went online and looked up ‘cheap houses for sail in los angeles california’ and it came up with life 5000 different options all in the price range of $21,000.00 and $175,000.00 and they were huge! he still said no!
can i please have some help on what to do!?

I hope you’re a troll because I hope nobody is this slow.

It seems that we have some common interests. My first experience commercial fishing was in SE AK on a salmon purse seiner out of Anacortes WN. I fished herring in Kashakes (sp?) at one point, but mainly fished from the Columbia River to Northern Mexico for salmon and albacore. San Francisco Bay provided a lucritive January fishery (roe herring) for a while, but that is all history now.
I sailed small boats up and down the coast for a few years before buying my commercial boat. Sailing is still one of my passions. My canoe, a Navaro Loon, has a custom sail rig which gives me a lot of pleasure, in a gentle sort of way. My white water days, gales at sea, cat four rapids, etc. are history. A gentle drift, like the Green River in Utah is more my speed now.
Where is SW AK?

Southwest Alaska is the area between the Western Gulf and the Bering Sea. I worked in the longline, troll, dive, pot, and tender fisheries, but no net fisheries. It’s big out here, but does not interest me much, except maybe for the set-netting. And it certainly is too much work for too little money anymore.

I’m not entirely comfortable with such a public communication forum – but I am impressed with your maritime experience. It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful adventure, at any speed — and your canoe seems like a very pleasant way to travel. Fair seas!

I’m aware that not all the old sailing ships used wheels, but those are the kind that I’d like to learn about. I know the names of certain parts (wheel, whipstaff, tiller, etc), but are there any good explanations of how all the parts work together to move the rudder? Better yet, are there any videos showing such a thing being built or deconstructed?

I’m writing something about old style sailing ships and it’d really help me out to get a better grasp on how this works.

I think the links below is going to be the best you will find.
However, there is really no "rocket science" involved here… the techniques of steering a larger sailing vessel has not really changed at all – except now on large sailboats the added use of hydraulics has made the steering easier.
The wheel vs the tiller is still a matter or personal preference; both of course, are used to turn the rudder. Most sail boats under 30 feet (for example) still use a rudder, while over 30 feet will use a wheel… In some cases, a sailboat over 70 feet will also have hydraulics to make the steering easier.
