3/3

Greetings from the Shogun.  We've experienced fair seas and I haven't been required to medically administer to anyone.  This is a good thing!  The food is much to plentiful and varied.  I was hoping to shed a few pounds on this trip, but I think that will be quite a challenge.  We are all getting to know each other and trade "lies".  Some of us have been playing Maritime Mobile (FO5A/MM) and we have logged almost 5000 QSOs to date.  We are looking forward to the same  level of interest once we are set up on the island.  The semi-private state rooms allow me  to sleep in late and I am feeling quite refreshed.  I have a sneaky feeling that this feeling will change once we make landfall.  But what a pleasant surprise the Shogun has been.  Compared to the previous motor vessels on the K7C and 3B7C expeditions, we are in heaven.  I'm looking forward to making many QSOs with all of you.  See you on my return.
