They are in San Diego now, & three of the crew were guests aboard HMS Surprise when she sailed this weekend. Such gracious friendly people they all are, & such courage to cross the Pacific in such a small old fashioned ship 69 days at sea between Japan and Eureka California, 8 crew living in such close quarters. They are hosted at Maritime Museum San Diego if you want to visit! Looking for 2 crew for voyage from SD to Hawaii!
I uploaded some video from the trip, bits from all over check it out
