It seems you just can't get help these days!

[pommystuart]

That's OK, I think/hope he can do it.

The voyage for 1898 has been done, with many thanks to Stuart. The writing wasn't great, he had to fight the Battle of Manila a second time, and they had hand drawn grids at the end of the year, just to add a challenge to our loyal and long-suffering transcriber. You can see a plot of the voyage here and, for more detail, you can download the KML file and view it with Google Earth. There were several mentions of people which are posted here.

With 23,005 nautical miles on the odometer, this is the third longest voyage to date. The two longest both belong to Eastwind:

1. 1945 with 26.809 nautical miles; and,
2. 1946 with 25,404 nautical miles.

Great work
Stuart and Michael !

We would have been longer but we cheated and went through the Suez.
