- Older in Siberia 2004: food - Newer in Siberia 2004: intro part 1
When I was on the phone with RuthAnn Brown from Polartec the other day she asked? "How's it going, Jon?" My response was, "Well, I've been shooting my mouth off for a year about this expedition and now it's about time to go out there and get wet." I leave the country June 1, and Franz will follow on June 10. The WindRiders arrive in Osaka, Japan on May 15 and my Japanese sponsors from MTI Adventure Wear will ship them to our starting point in Nemuro on the north Island of Hokkaido. We plan to sail into the Kuril Islands on June 16. The Visa applications with the Russians continues to progress, but I get a little nervous until the Visas are in my hand. I'll be leaving home in three weeks.
