Updates from Mary and Wally:

Wally was not able to make contact today, but another operator gave him the following:
Latitude 35 degrees, 28.5 min.
Longitude 66 degrees, 53.2 min.
No other information and couldn't pass anything along either.

BTW: Hannes put together a website for the trip - It's quite nice and some of us wonder if Hannes has a real life! ;-). Check it out!

Until next time,

Alles Gouda,

Yvonne

(Another BTW: In case you don't know the story, "Alles Gouda" was one of the names considered for the boat. It's a clever (?) pun. Rosi wanted a Dutch name for the boat since the boat is manufactured in the Netherlands. In German "Alles Gute" is a nice phrase commonly used at the end of a letter and means something like "all the best" or "wishing you all the best". So we put together the German phrase and the Dutch cheese to form "Alles Gouda" (pronounced: Ah-less GOO-dah), which, perhaps on some distant planets may mean something like "everything's cheese"....?? ;-) Y.
