FF 100W Stories - The Ripples Felt

ON BOARD LOG: Mid-day, 11 March 2011

Not even a monsoon could stop us now. Yuko has been on deck painting Mt Fuji's beauty, and its calming spiritual strength and blessing seems to have
guided us well. If this were ever to be my last entry, I would like all to know it is one of the happiest,
most serene moments of our lives.
