Unfortunately, due to private circumstances I will not be able to contribute to OW for some time, and I don't know how long exactly. So I have uploaded what I did for May, and removed myself from the tracker. Hopefully I'll be able to return to this one day, but I honestly don't know. It's complicat...

OW'er is forced to choose between "real life" and the latest logbook of their favorite ship.

April done. Got to Yokohama, stayed a while and left.

I really like it when a ship gets finished, and I saw there's less left to do on the Shenandoah.
Also, I felt like I was just chopping away at the same old monolithic stuff on the Kearsarge.

March done. Mostly Hong Kong, she set sail for Yokohama at the end.
