I'm stuck in the roof area (can access the attic, roof and balcony).  How do I get out of it?

Check out the stuff in the attic.

After a very frustrating journey, I am stuck at the same point as Edo_IF. I have 45 points out of 50. When I "board ship really" , I am told that I didn't find all the geocaches, but I actually did. I was told there were three, I found three and I signed three. The "last lousy point" (actually 5 points) must be something pretty obscure. Can you provide a hint?

EDIT: Forget it. When I checked my notes, I realised that I had been playing the game from scratch and had forgotten to do something obscure on the replay. I now have 50/50.

I found three caches and have 45/50 points. I'm at the port trying to board my ship. When I say BOARD SHIP it asks "Are you sure you want to board and end you adventure?". Can find the right command here. I tried YES, SURE, and number of others, but nothing works. Can you share the right command for boarding? Or maybe this is not actual end?

Developer(+1)

Awesome! You were on the right track, but you must be *really* sure!

Thanks! As a geocacher I enjoyed in this. :)

Can't find the right combo to end the game. Can you maybe share the exact command? I tried all possible adverbs alone and in combination with yes and sure.

"board ship really" works. I will rework this part in an update. I did not intend that people get stuck on guessing on that part.
