From stormy Sausalito

1 Jan 1997:

The rains have relentless and the howling winds caused havoc to the power lines. However we survived and it was a great excuse to remain indoors and tie up the many loose ends before setting out on a final visit to Monterey leaving Moksha in the capable safekeeping of Maritime Museum. A few days for Jason to get himself and his companions into shape for the long and exciting trip on their bicycles through beautiful Southern California en route to Peru.

The last two weeks has proved enormously successful for the Expedition working hard getting the web site sorted out and now the technology to fulfill the commitment to keep in touch with the students across land and sea though out the remainder of journey is just fantastic!!

We trust you are pleased with progress on the web so far, there is lots of goodies to come. How’s that for a Quantum Leap ? E mail. Text and images, pictures and video exchanges, off line editing facilities plus Oliver and Carole our traveling translators (Spanish and French) even Steve will soon have his own laptop to complete his book on time.

So to all the Team who have worked tirelessly to make this possible we say a BIG THANK YOU!

- Stuart Smith and the team

Hi! Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to work to work we go With a shovel and a pick, but without the walking stick Hi Ho Hi Ho
