Day 13:  Almost to Japan

28.44 degrees north, 138.31 degrees east.  Happy Halloween! The boy who
was sick yesterday is fine.  He was back on the boat and we were leaving
the island before 2pm.  The students and crew alike were all very
excited to see the island since nearly all of them had never been there
before.  Watching the Halloween crowd last night was a blast.  The
students had such a good time, and even some members of the crew, the
Captain included, brought the kids some candy when they said "trick or
treat."  The pictures today include a Halloween shot and some shots from
the afternoon of deckwork removing paint from carts.

Leo: 

Yesterday was Halloween aboard the ship and I told several of my
friends to help out.  After Yuwena got her face painted, about a dozen
others got their faces painted too.  In other words, Halloween was a
success!  Yuwena told me it was the best birthday party ever (as it was
also her birthday yesterday).  It was a memorable day.

Sean: 

Yesterday was Halloween and we had a little party on board for
every one.  People were walking up to me asking for candy, but I had non
on me.  That was probably the funniest night on board the ship!

 Deckwork!
