list of ideas that went nowhere

this is for all those people who may be interested to doing something similar:

Ah, yes, well there are a few hundred ideas we have rigorously gone through and tried to find a way to do. If you figure out the problems - good for you!

List of Idea that went nowhere.

• Get sponsored by a company for actually using their product on the trip. a sort of 'ultimate scientific test', say, for sunscreen. ten months on the open sea is as good a test as i can think of, although it could probably work on any sort of outdoor trip or event.
  
• Set up a giant Christmas part event, i wanted to invite sixth forms from many neighbouring schools to make things interesting, and hire out a night club for the night. problems were, now that i had left school i couldn't promote the event there, and wasn't sure how to promote it at other schools + sell tickets. however, it would work if you only wanted to raise a few thousand $$$$. one particularly outrageous event i was planning was to hire out sumo wrestling suits and dress volunteers as Santa's with the help of beards and bobble hats. then i thought the idea of half naked Santa's pitted against one another may disturb my dreams for nights after. the dumb club (the butter club in Singapore) said that we could only stay till 10pm. that is no party.



• Since i had done modelling in the past, i thought perhaps i could model a watch or something, giving them a chance to use a real adventurer rather than the vanilla girls they usually use, and letting them shoot on deck. BUT then i thought, what was i gonna say to get them interested? pay me a truckload of money to get a photo of me, most likely sea-sick and exhausted. THAT my friends, would take all the romance out of sailing.
