You have a calling for adventure; unfortunately, you did not have the funds that match your calling. Thankfully the generous King of your classroom has money to spend. Now the only question is, how do you sell your plan to the king. To do so, you must create a presentation on what you plan to do with his money and what you plan to achieve. Your plan must include the following:

What vessel or vessels will you take and their cost.
How many people will make up your crew
How many days you plan on your adventure being have the time it will take you to get to your destination and the total return time.
You will need to budget for supplies. How much water and food will you need to keep your crew happy, so they don't turn against you? What type of meals will you serve (make sure no one gets scurvy!).
What type of Technology are you going to use, so you don't get lost?
What are you going to bring along with you to make sure you're not bored?
What are you going to bring with you to trade once you arrive at your destination with the locals?
What is your emergency plan if things go wrong?
What do you hope to achieve in your journey?
Finally, by doing this, how are you going to bring Greatness back to your country.

Make sure that your proposal has a summary of the number of funds you will need.
