We have two new members of the team in the past week. Rainer Leipsher will be joining the team from Quebec City to St. John's and David Meijer will be on board for the crossing from St. John's. We are now within 3 weeks of departure and, thanks to Erik's persistence and creativity and the skipper's continuing efforts to organize us, we are actually pretty much ready for the voyage! We are currently dealing with the details of menu, medications and minutia. Pim recently found a wonderful website about icebergs which will be a great assistance in avoidance: http://www.icebergfinder.com/. Hopefully, we are all capable now of posting our own updates and the story will soon begin to unfold in "real time" (I think that's the trendy term for "what's happening now".)
