Konichiwa friends of Montane-san!

Indeed, the little boat that could has reached the Land of the
Rising Sun! 5197 nautical miles in nigh on 40 days (elapsed time 36 days 16 hours 42 minutes and 17 seconds, to be precise) at an average speed of 5.9 knots. Having travelled through savage seas and dreaded doldrums (with the odd excursion into the unchartered realms of the delusive mind), Tee and Dee cruised into Osaka town on Tuesday 25 May, 10:15 Aust EST. As showers and sake await, the team may deservedly bask in the glory of having placed 2nd (that's only one behind first) in racing division class C, and 6th overall (out of 20 starters and presumably 12 finishers). No doubt they are negotiating the rights to the thriller "Montane - The Movie" (working title "Mission Impossible: 2 in a Tub") as we
speak.
