you could always settle on the plains cow, which would allow you to pick up all the seafood and settle another city later to claim the whale, work rice and marble.
not sure if its worth it, but +2 happy makes it worth considering, at least 
also your settle can settle that one turn sooner since there's no forest on the cows
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Optics is probably 50 turns away, on a beeline. The rice and marble will be worked by the other two cities. Financial coast is not terrible, so to that extent, it's worth considering. Except a size 1 city costs 5gpt.
I honestly think the proposed city grabbing whales with its 4th ring is far better, without doing any serious calculations. Kurumi? Do you want to save the whales?

ok, optic is 50 turns away, how far away until you can get 4th ring cultural borders?

I logged on to make sure I wasn't  with respect to Optics time. It's 23 turns at max beakers to get there (-92gpt), we make 35gpt at max tax. It might take longer.
Why I actually posted this:
Glad I started that Galley in Azza's old capital.

yeah I coulda told you you'd get that kind of response from Azza if you asked me

Yeah, I figured this was the probable response. For good reason, too:
I don't blame him, he hasn't had anything go his way.
I thought it was captured by the diplo screen, but he finished Moai in his capital. That probably means he can pump out an extra guy or two. I'm not sure if he traded for Stone, if there's also Stone on that island, or if it was built without it.

I did not expect any less from our glorious Empire and Emperor! Congratulations!
Now it is about a clean sweep!
Yeah, I'm not happy about my past behaviour either.

Kurumi, what do you think about Moai?
I also neglected to mention we spawned another GG. Theoretically, we can make our galley a five-mover (Flank 1, Nav1+2, Morale, C1 to boot) and move it down to Azza's land. It wouldn't take forever and we'd have a second galley to ferry troops. That sounds like fun.

I believe Demoman is in a decent place for Moai.
Galley idea sounds fun indeed!
