Date/time: May 24, 2006 12:00 local (03:00z) Position at noon: 35 39.111 N & 139 49.638 E Tokyo dock at Yumenoshima (Dream Island) Marina Remarks: Today is exactly 1 year since we left Dunvegan. A fantastic year for sure. The year was very full, exciting and interesting. We look forward to the next 3 months with enthusiasm and excitement and don't want to wish away that time. While we are anxious to get home we have a lot of places to go and things to do yet. Our dreams and expectations were considerable, but reality of the experience is incredible. We are very fortunate. We thank God for the new places, the wonderful people and our safety.
