and we're off!!!
Ships log:
Tomorrow is Friday the 11th of April....tonight we are experiencing another low pressure, but nothing like we did the other day. It looks as though the wind will be favorable for us in the morning....so.....we will be off!!! We have a planned departure of 5AM tomorrow morning. I'll be checking the weather again in the morning, but all is well we'll be Hawaii bound!

You heard it above - we are leaving Hachijo-jima Is. and the shadow of the volcano into the
shadowed remnants of the past fierce storm - it will take us a couple of days to cross the infamous
"Black Current" into the rolling praries of the deep blue ---- thoughts of family, community,
all of life and deeper meaning ride with us ----- Love, Peace, Healing & Forgiveness ~ ...ah freedom

Received a message from TEAM NADEAU on 4/12/08. Crew still sick and a few challenges on board.
Received a message from TEAM NADEAU on 4/13. Bad weather, conditions and big waves. Crew still sick.
Thanks for the update!!!
"Baptism by Fire" is not a fun way to begin. My heart goes out to them.
The last two days in Japan have been nice, so good weather and a hopeful break from the big waves are on their way.
Just remember that good weather and good sailing weather can be very different things. Of course, you need wind to sail but wind also means waves and the accompanying seasickness.
Hang tight, Guys!!!
Taj, next time you talk to Captain D, please ask him his average speed and distance covered for each day. That will help us know his location.
Thanks,
Potty
